  • Publication number: 20220401247
    Abstract: A pelvis correction belt includes a support member (10) and a press member (20). The press member is provided with multiple belt members (22, 24) placed in upper and lower portions and having elasticity in a longitudinal direction, and the belt members (22, 24) press the pelvis by coupling coupling parts (30, 40) of the press member. The pelvis correction belt is further provided with a first pressing auxiliary belt (50) and a second pressing auxiliary belt (60), each of which extends to both left and right sides from the support member (10) and has a combining part (52, 62) on its tip that can combine with one of the coupling parts (40). By combining the combining parts (52, 62) with the coupling parts (30, 40), the first pressing auxiliary belt (50) and the second pressing auxiliary belt (60) respectively press left and right portions on the rear side of the pelvis.
