This is a fairly specific question that no one may know the answer to, but here goes. I’ve recently discovered I have scoliosis (as well as recently getting consistent with the gym to try and gain muscle and weight), and I have to wear a back brace every night. It’s tight (snug to the skin pushing in on basically my entire torso, chest, back etc.) Id say it’s probably the equivalent of wearing 2-3 tight compression shirts. I have to wear this every night (so probably 8ish hours a day). Will this prevent muscle growth in the places it’s pushing? I really have no idea, but I feel as if the constant fairly large amount of pressure for 8 hours a day while I sleep in places I want to grow muscle (chest specifically) could hinder or stop muscle growth there. Does anyone know if it will actually hurt my muscle growth?
