Cervicothoracic spine restorator
View Patent ↗A cervicothoracic spine restorator is disclosed. In the cervicothoracic spine restorator, a fixing structure is further included, such that relaxation of muscles such as pectoralis major muscle, pectoralis minor muscle, rectus abdominis muscle, and trapezius muscle or latissimus dorsi muscle can be easily performed. Further, the blood vessel may be expanded and the blood may be supplied smoothly to the head. This may help recovery and correction during a short correction period. There is an advantage that a separate correction mechanism, which is used for spine correction such as a abdomen band, is unnecessary.
