This Posture Corrector Could Be The Answer To Your Back Pain

If you’re anything like me, you spend a lot of time looking down at your phone or slouched over a laptop with rounded shoulders. It’s highly relatable in today’s technological age, but this kind of posture can have real impact on your health. As Liza Egbogah, a trained chiropractor, osteopath and myofascial release expert, previously told HuffPost, poor posture can not only result in headaches and pain in the neck, shoulders and back, but it can also lead to constipation, bloating and irritable bowel syndrome. Take make matters worse, it can also affect your stress levels!

But not all is lost. In conjunction with stretching and keeping active, you could try this posture-correcting brace to literally straighten you out and halt bad habits. We found one that reviewers say provides “perfect support for your back and shoulders,” and it comes in various sizes with extra adjustability for all body types. You can also wear it underneath your clothing; as one reviewer points out it “keeps me straight without the bulk.”

If you’re wondering how it works, it’s super simple. You just put on back brace and pull its straps over your shoulders — similar to a backpack — and its semi-flexible support bars will apply pressure on your back, lumbar and shoulders to correct improper posture. It’ll gently pull your shoulders back so your chest and head are upright and your back is aligned. It doesn’t hurt at all, and if it’s super uncomfortable, you can adjust its length and opening width.

Just make sure to grab it in your size. It’s available in small, medium and large sizes, but several reviewers advise sizing up so you can easily adjust to a proper fit.

If you’re skeptical, the reviews speak for themselves. “I have a lot of back pain due to incorrect posture and when wearing this, I feel like a new person,” raves one user. “This will overall help spinal health and make you look taller as your posture gets better in time. […] Every time I do wear it, I just feel great. […] I definitely think this brace is worth it if you’re serious about your posture and overall health!”

The brand advises wearing the back brace for 1 to 2 hours a day over the course of a month to see progress.

Oh, and anyone with an HSA or FSA will love this: This simple brace is eligible for those health bucks!

“It works! I rarely write reviews on medical devices but I was having back pain right below my neck and across my shoulders. I figured it was posture because I am on the computer a great deal of the day. I started doing exercises to strengthen my Trapezius muscles and decided to try this posture corrector. Almost instantly the pain across my shoulders stopped, as soon as I took the device off the pain returned. I’ve worn it for 2 days now and I will say that it works. It’s not uncomfortable, it’s very supportive. It pinches a little under the arm but only if I wear a tank top or if the shoulders need to adjust. The sizing guide was perfect for me. It’s super easy to adjust. It fits a little tight but I’m fairly certain that’s the way it’s intended for support. I have to force myself to remove it because my back feels fantastic when I have it on but I don’t want to become reliant on it. It is making me more mindful of not slouching or leaning in at the computer. I’d venture to say I love this thing. It’s easy to use, and It wasn’t very expensive.” — Rell

“Today I wore my posture corrector to the office. I sit in an office most of the day and I noticed my slouching posture. I ordered this with my HSA bank card, and I can tell that it will be beneficial to me. I normally wear a medium in clothes, but after reading the reviews, I sized up to a large so I can wear it comfortably and adjust it as needed.” — Morgan

“As soon as I got this Posture Corrector on, I knew I had bought the right one. Just looking at it you can tell it will last many years. The Velcro is the newer version and very strong. No more slouching for me. This product won’t allow you to anyways. And it’s actually comfortable. Normally, I don’t leave reviews. But, this is a game changer for me. So, I’m sharing my opinion.” — fallinstarzz50
