It is a specially molded back brace that is made to fit just your back. Have you had a recent thoracic fracture?

TLSO: Thoracolumbosacral orthosis. This is one of two main types of braces used to correct the lateral (sideways) curve of the spine in scoliosis. Patients can wear this brace to correct spinal curves whose apex is at or below the eighth thoracic vertebra. The TLSO is an underarm brace, which means that it fits under the arm and around the rib cage, lower back, and hips.

It's back brace that is placed to hold your spine in place ... or at least to mold it to how it should be.
It's the acronym for Thoracic-Lumbo-Sacral-Orthosis.
I had a couple of students who wore those, they were slightly hunched and some had bad back problems.
