Supportive Apparel sizing is determined by height and weight which helps us predict both the fit of the garment and the cable support system. By using height and weight, we can accurately determine the length and position of the cable support system which is not possible with traditional athletic apparel sizing.
Find your size with our size picker or by looking at our size chart. You can find the size picker above where it says "Find Your Size" next to the size selections. If you find yourself on the border of sizes, we recommend sizing up.
Learn more about what to expect during your first wear and consult the frequently asked questions on our sizing, fit and first wear page.

Medical-grade is the standard we build to, not the person we build for. It means the support holds up for anyone who wants to stay active, including people who've been told they need a brace.

Where the support goes
Lower lumbar
Support for a Lower Back That Works All Day
+ MEDICAL-GRADE SUPPORT: Dyneema® cables built into the short wrap the lower lumbar with even, all-round pressure. Two dials at the back waistband set how much.
+ COMPRESSION: The waistband adds gentle compression around the lower lumbar for support and joint awareness on long days, long drives and long rounds.
+ ALL-DAY COMFORT: Lightweight, sweat-wicking fabric with the support knit in, so it fits discreetly under anything you already wear.
Hips
Support for Both Hips at Once
+ MEDICAL-GRADE SUPPORT: Dyneema® cables reinforce hip abduction, the outward movement of each leg, for stability with every step, swing and stride.
+ BILATERAL SUPPORT: Support goes to both hips at the same time, for balance and stability across the hips and pelvis when one side has been doing more than its share.
+ ALL-DAY COMFORT: Support and compression are knit seamlessly into the short, so it moves with you from the first tee to the end of the day.
Sacroiliac joints
Stability Where the Spine Meets the Pelvis
+ MEDICAL-GRADE SUPPORT: Dyneema® cables apply even, all-round pressure around the sacroiliac joints, where the base of the spine meets the pelvis.
+ COMPRESSION: Moderate compression wraps the pelvis and sacroiliac joints for stability and joint awareness through every stride, swing and step.
+ ALL-DAY COMFORT: Engineered to fit into all your activities, with support and compression knit seamlessly into the short.
What customers say
"I was struggling with hip pain during my runs. Drastically decreased with the shorts… no more hobbling around in pain during or after the runs. And noticing faster recovery as well."
John D. · Verified buyer
"A bad hip limited golfing, hiking and biking. Now these activities are all pain free. I can golf 18 holes, go on a hike and bike pain free… these shorts are amazing."
Dean S. · Verified buyer

Keith C. · Verified buyer
"I am very surprised, did not expect to have that much of a change in the pain from my hip and back. I wear them every day at work doing construction."

Still Have Questions?
Yes. Choose Truemed as the payment method at checkout; it takes about a minute.
It supports the lower back and hips the way a brace does, but the support is knit into a short you can wear under anything.
