This surprised me because I had read a lot of information on the internet saying that the
brace should be worn
for as little time as possible, but I figured he knew better than I. It is such a relief to take the brace off, like I can finally relax some of the muscles of my back. Lately, I have only been wearing my brace at work. I can go hiking, swimming, walking with a backpack, rearrange furniture, and I even helped unload a moving truck. I can do this all with no pain.
