What is the Angle Shoulder Brace?
The Angle Shoulder Brace is a custom compression shoulder brace that delivers compression, support, muscle heat circulation, strain distribution and impact absorption. The Angle is designed to reduce the effects of mild shoulder separations/ subluxations, shoulder dislocations, shoulder joint instability, post operative rehabilitation of the shoulder joint, impact trauma to the shoulder and upper back and to attempt to reduce some of the effects of genetic shoulder instability relative to Elhers Danlos-syndrome.
How Does the Angle Shoulder Brace work to protect the shoulder?
By compressing, compartmentalizing and stabilizing the shoulder joint and all the musculature and connective tissue of the entire shoulder complex.
How is the Angle designed?
The Angle is designed by measuring the shoulder, the bicep, the bicep base, the chest (Expanded), the chest below the pectoral(Expanded) the length of arm measurement to the bicep base and total length from the top of the shoulder to below the pectoral muscles.
How do I measure myself for the Angle?
Measurement instructions for the Angle appear at www.antibodywear.com/shop/compression-shoulder-brace-measure.asp. The measurements are then compressed using compression ratios. The base material is a perforated polymer blend to allow the skin to breath. The polymer is light, soft but very strong. The polymer has a tactile inner surface that attaches to the surface of the human body and won't slip even after heavy perspiration. The material is 1/8th of an inch thick so it absorbs direct impact. The overall effect is like having larger shoulder muscles or an exoskeleton of thin muscle enveloping the shoulder, bicep, chest and upper back.
What is the abduction strap and do I need it?
The abduction strap is permanent, velcro attachment to the Angle Shoulder brace that starts behind the bicep and traverses over the deltoid to attach in the center of the chest. It simply allows an athletic trainer/physical therapist to know when an athletes arm has reached a certain point during slow rehab exercises. It does not restrict Range of motion and the Angle will function just as well without it.
Is the Angle designed the same for men and women?
The Angle is a unisex shoulder brace custom designed for men and women.
How long does it take to design and ship my Bodyguard brace?

What is the 360 degree groin protector and how does it work?
The Bodyguard shorts are equipped with a 360 degree groin protector double sewn into the crotch. When the athlete puts on the Bodyguard they would leave about a 1 inch gap between "themselves" and the Bodyguard in the crotch. The protector "floats" between the legs (attached to the inner thighs) and conducts all explosive movements in the groin area out evenly and back evenly. You can protect the groin without ever coming into physical contact with the groin. The Groin Protector acts as a shock absorber for all the musculature and connective tissue in the pelvic area.
