Abstract

A garment (20) is provided including front and back portions, to be worn by a user for ameliorating or relieving back discomfort. The garment includes at least one pair of spaced-apart elements (30, 32) which are couplable to the back portion of the garment and disposed substantially parallel to each other when coupled to the garment, on either side of a set of one or more vertebrae of a spine of a back of the user. When the garment is squeezed between a hard surface and the back of the user, the elements prevent pressure from being applied by the hard surface on the one or more vertebrae of the spine of the user. When the garment is not squeezed between a hard surface and the back of the user, the elements substantially do not press against the back of the user. Other embodiments are also described.
