Abstract
A back brace having interlocking frame members jointed at a first pivotal hinge connection where the two vertically disposed members join the other member. The two vertical members join each other at an adjustable second hinged connection. Above the first hinge connection the upper vertical member may be removed to make the brace appear less conspicuous. Four straps with end hook and loop members allow attachment of the brace to a user's forehead, shoulders and waist.
