> 3 dayI havent tried the brace. I bought it before I talked to my Physical Therapy doctor. And when I talked with the doctor, he made it clear that this brace will make me dependent on the brace, rather than strengthening my own muscles so I dont need a brace. The manufacturer tells us as much in their product description. Paraphrasing: You can start with a few minutes a day and then after a short time you can wear it all the time. Thats just another way of saying that after a short time, you get used to the benefit of wearing it, and you no longer need your muscles to do what theyre supposed to be doing. A better solution is to work with your doctor or physical therapist to strengthen your own muscles to correct your posture.

> 3 dayI suffer from a lot of upper back pain/issues, and when I wear this for a few days a week (1-2 hours at a time) it is noticeably better afterwards. It really helps to pull the shoulders back and improve posture, relieving some of the pain and fatigue in the upper back. Overall I’d definitely recommend!

> 3 dayI was in a pretty bad car accident about 15 years ago. My posture has suffered and I was getting pretty bad migraines as time progressed. I purchased this item as well as a chiropractic neck pillow. The posture brace made me sore with migraines the first week. I attributed this to my body trying to readjust. Several months have passed and my posture has completely changed . I am confident enough to wear my hair up and show my neck. I had a forward head posture and rounded shoulders , both have significantly improved . I have to use the brace more for maintenance now. I get headaches when I need to wear it; after I immediately feel better . I also wear the brace until I can feel my upper thoracic tension decrease . In the beginning I could only wear the brace for 3-5 minutes . I get immediate relief with the release .. this sometimes takes and hour depending on the severity of the tension. I also use the chiropractic pillow which I purchased first … but I didn’t get the most relief until I started with the posture brace . I honestly look like a different person and and I am more confident as well.

Greater than one weekI am 86 and was slouching badly. I thought that if I didnt take some action now, it would be permanent and would hamper my breathing. I was wearing it too long at first and my shoulders hurt. I slowly broke it in and am very happy with the results. I am standing up straighter even when I dont have it on. I can now wear it all day long. I even wear it to the gym. Be sure to loosen the straps a lot. It makes it easier to put on and take off. Even when I dont have it on, I no longer slouch.

> 3 dayI saw immediately posture change and I thought that this would be a good way to teach my body to stand straighter. Unfortunately it impeded my arm circulation. If I loosened the strap, I didn’t receive the poster correction. It is a terrific idea but the product needs tweaking. I will be returning it.

> 3 dayPROS: I bought this in preparation for my wedding and absolutely fell in love with it. I even convinced several members of my family to buy it. Let me start by saying that I have scoliosis, which means I have mid back pain and that neck hump everyone hates. I thought I was doomed until I found this. The first two days of wearing it for short periods of time caused my back to actually hurt more. However, once I adjusted, I noticed immediate pain relief when putting it on. I also noticed that I was standing up taller, even when I was not wearing it. My runs became more efficient and I began looking ahead more and looking at the ground less. I felt confident and comfortable. NEUTRAL: I did wear this consistently for about 2 months before the wedding. I noticed in my wedding photos that I still had some neck hump, but it seemed less noticeable. However, it might have just been wishful thinking, because I could see no difference in my before and after photos. CONS: I rated this 3 stars because shortly after the wedding and 2ish months of use, the Velcro stopped holding. I put it on and the Velcro immediately snaps back off, making the product useless. I reached out to the seller, who said they would note this and send me a new one under warranty, but I never heard back or got the replacement. VERDICT: Go ahead and buy it if you only want it for short term use. If you are looking for something long term, keep looking.

18-11-2024Ive had a slouching problem most of my life. When youre a female with a ddd bra size the girls tend to weigh your shoulders down. Ive noticed the past few months the slouch problem is feeling more like a hunch problem. Just prior to Christmas I saw this listed on a 50 Items you never knew you needed list. I thought Id give it a try. First off, this thing is darned near impossible to get on by yourself. Thank goodness I have a partner to help me into this torture device. Just joking. He strapped me into it yesterday morning and I ended up wearing it for about four hours. It helped to pull my shoulders back and gave me a much straighter spine. Even after taking it off I felt like I stood straighter and I didnt slouch as much. Even this morning waking up I noticed I stood straighter. Over the past 10 years Ive suffered from frozen shoulders. (both shoulders) Due to that I have to do the Ol Hook and Twist with the bra in the morning and at bedtime. I noticed when I had the brace on that I could actually reach behind my back and touch my bra hooks. Ive not been able to do that in a couple of years due to frozen shoulders. That was only with the brace on though. On the downside, the shoulder straps do cut into your arm pits. No more so than a backpack, but I had the strap on over clothes so not terribly uncomfortable. Im going to give this a go daily for a 2 week trial period and see how it does. Ill report back when Ive tested it a bit longer. One last thing, the rubber Comfort Brace tab ripped off the end of the shoulder strap during the very first try on session. Not happy about that.
