APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Find the top of the leg bones, called trochanters, by placing both hands on the hips and slowly walking to feel for movement. 

2. Press the area below the waist on the front of the body to find a bony protrusion called the anterior superior iliac spine, or ASIS. 

3. Once you locate it, take the measuring tape and measure approximately 2 inches above the trochanters and below the ASIS. 

4. Position the belt at the measured position and pull it to the close tightly. 

5. Pull the two elastic bands on the sides towards the front to ensure a tight fit.
