Slip your arms through the soft Neoprene & Breathable Mesh straps just like wearing a backpack. Stand upright with your head held high and shoulders naturally pulled back. Pull the side straps forward until you feel gentle, firm tactile resistance against your shoulders. Secure the Adjustable Velcro Straps comfortably around your lower chest or waist area.
