SPIO TLSO Compression Vest - Deep Pressure & Core Stability

The SPIO TLSO Compression Vest is designed to provide deep pressure input and supportive compression around the torso. This classic SPIO vest design does not include rigid supports, making it a flexible option for those who need compression-based support without stays.

SPIO stands for Stabilising Pressure Input Orthosis. SPIO garments are designed to provide even circumferential deep pressure across the covered area, supporting proprioceptive input, body awareness and postural activation. This may help with shoulder, trunk and hip stability, as well as postural control, balance and coordination.

Made from a lightweight Lycra/Nylon blend with multi-directional stretch, the vest offers firm compression while remaining breathable and comfortable for daytime wear. Unlike weighted products, SPIO garments are designed for continuous daytime use when correctly fitted and tolerated.
