The invention relates to a method for putting on an orthosis (2) with a first dimensionally stable component (4), comprising a first magnetic element (36) and a first form-fitting element (8), and a second dimensionally stable component (6), comprising a second magnetic element (14) and a second form-fitting element (12), the method comprising the following steps:putting the first component (4) against a part of the wearer's body so it extends along the body part,positioning the second component (6) on the first component (4),wherein a magnetic attractive force acts between the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element in a first direction when the orthosis (2) is mounted, and the first form-fitting element forms a form-fitting connection with the second form-fitting element, by means of which a movement of the two components relative to each other is prevented.
