The suit extends proximally from the neck at the level of throat flexure anteriorly. A plastic zipper extends from the C-3 level and includes a plurality of specifically positioned pockets to receive predetermined weights which also provide resistive exercises for fitness purposes.
Figure 2-1 and 2-3 A biomechanical suit comprises a mini-short and shorts connected front and rear by suspenders. The shirt starts proximally from the level of C-3 vertebra and extends down to T-8 and includes a zipper from T-8 to C-3. Two spaced front suspenders are mounted to the lower edge of the shirt and are adjustably coupled to the shorts.

The distal attachment is through a tensiometer which adjusts the tension to correct unusual kyphotic or scoliotic conditions.
