Product Information

According to the manufacturer, the product uses targeted pressure to simultaneously straighten the spine and compress the lower back muscles. There’s no magic number in terms of how long you’ll have to wear one, but when you get a glimpse in the mirror of yourself with better posture, that’s the time you can say so long to your little helper.

These exercises help to lengthen and strengthen the muscles around the spine, which can help to reduce the appearance of kyphosis. You can measure your chest circumference by wrapping a soft measuring tape around your back and chest, just under your armpits. That said, the manufacturer says it is normal to feel mild discomfort when first using the back brace due to the body being held in the correct posture.Kyphosis back braces are one option, though they're often rigid and force the body into position – once you take it off, you'll go back to slouching. If you plan on wearing the posture corrector for extended periods, choose a device with padded straps for added comfort. Over the long-term, it's “beneficial to strengthen and stabilize the postural muscles,” says Lisa Mitro, DPT, a doctor of physical therapy who specializes in helping athletes reduce pain and prevent injuries.

If anything, they're a cut above your typical workout wear and offer more support for larger chests. Kyphosis caused by poor posture (postural kyphosis) can usually be corrected by improving your posture. Your skeletal system gets used to the hours of sitting and slouching in an unnatural position, wreaking havoc on your body, posture, and causing more serious long-term issues. You'll need to wear the brace until the spine stops growing, which is usually around 14 or 15 years old. To measure your waist circumference, wrap a measuring tape around your natural waistline—the narrowest point of your torso.The manufacturer says this helps a person develop muscle memory and straighten posture naturally to reduce the risk of injury. Not only does it allow you to develop strength in the areas of your body that experience the most chronic pain (for example, your lower back), but it also helps reduce the tightness in your neck, shoulders, and upper back.

After using each posture corrector, our team provided feedback on how the device affected their posture and alignment during wear.If you’re not sure where your weak areas lie, take a look at your posture from the waist up to pinpoint the origins of your slouch.

Any of the devices we recommend make you aware of how you're sitting, but start slowly with all of them.

You can easily calibrate it to buzz at the “slouch level” (I’m making that term up) you want just by being stiffer or in more of a soldier-like posture when you calibrate. This thing really does a great job stretching my back and shoulders, which is nice as I sit hunched over a keyboard all day.Even while walking on the treadmill or doing yoga, I tend to be in a gargoyle position when I'm not paying attention.
