Posture Corrector Back Brace for Men and Women, Patented Back Support

I ordered this with some hope but mostly skepticism. Here is how it went down for me.When it arrived I put it on and made the necessary adjustments. Well, it fit but didn't do anything (I had it in my armpits). Not wanting to have to return it was my main thought. I fiddled with it for about 5 more minutes and then something happened. It worked! It took maybe about 15 minutes to find the right position on my body and how to adjust the straps to fit me. After a day or two I started to become more familiar with it. In a few days I was learning what too tight was vs not tight enough. In a week I had mastered the fit and positions that work for me. I have had this a month now. I went from being skeptic to being an absolute believer. I wear it around the house, sitting in my desk chair. And to tell you the truth I only have worn it for 1/2 to 1 hour a night. Here is what it has done for me. When out in public without the straps my shoulders stay back and I stand more dignified. I have left town without it twice for a few days each time, it didn't effect muscle memory because if I even thought of rolling my shoulders forward it actually hurt. I can't tell you what your results or experience will be if you purchase it but it sure worked for me. And to think I almost returned it without even giving it a real try.Has it helped with my lower back pain? Oh yes it has. A lot!Has it improved my posture? When I stood with my back against a wall in the beginning the back of my head was 5 fingers away. After a month I am two fingers away. So yes it has improved my posture.Was it easy to use? Not the first day. There is a learning curve.Is it comfortable? Well that itself is a subjective question. What I find comfortable might not be to the next person. For me at least yes, after I took a day or two to fine tune it. Don't expect it to be comfortable right off the bat even if you set it up correctly the first time. Remember, the purpose of this thing is to pull back on those shoulders and train back muscles. You are essentially working out your entire shoulder and back group to retrain them so yea, it's not meant to cuddle you. Just don't dive into it and strap yourself into it like a rocket. Go slow.Does it hurt the underarms, Cut of circulation? It sure does if your doing it wrong. That happened when I jumped into like I knew what I was doing. How hard can it be to learn how to use this stupid strap thing? The first thing I did wrong was positioning. I learned to NOT put them in my armpit. What would I be trying to achieve fix my armpit? Then I cranked those straps. Yea, it hurts. If the straps are hurting your pits or cutting circulation pull the straps outwards to wear the shoulder meets the collar bone and adjust the straps from there. That is where the straps should be in the first place.Do the straps and D rings twist? Yes, if your doing it wrong again. You might have strapped it wrong. The straps only twist if you put it on without adjusting it from the last use. Don't Put it on again without care thinking it will be the same. If you can reach around your back you can pull down the middle tab with the flag or untwist the straps. If you cannot reach around your back take it off, loosen the straps and start fresh. The complaints on here are from people that are just too much in a hurry or just don't have the patience to learn these straps.If you are considering this product do your research and ask questions. There are plenty of straps out there and I think I now know why this is the top product. It simply works if you take the time to familiarize yourself with it.

This offers excellent and reliable support for lifting.

I had to return this item because it wasn't make for bigger people. I wish I know that before I purchased

Great shoulder support. I use it when I’m at my desk. I noticed a big change after weeks of using it.

I have struggled and suffered from back pain for most of my life. I remember being in school and my backpack being so heavy sometimes, that it was hard to carry on my back. I would have to rotate it from my back to my front while walking to or from school. The pain would be so intense sometimes it would distract me from class. All my brain could concentrate on was the burning and tingling sensation in my neck and in between my shoulder blades. I would try to massage it to relieve the pain but it was never enough. I would beg my little brothers, friends, and parents, literally anyone I could, to dig their elbows into my shoulder blade muscles. They could dig their elbow into my muscles for hours and I am telling you, it never was enough. The second they would stop the pain would be there again and hurt even worse. You know when your foot falls asleep and you get that fuzzy tingling feeling? Well it was like that, but more like pins and needles. It would tingle all day long and then burn all night from tingling all day it seemed like. Due to the heavy backpack, my posture was horrible. I constantly struggled with my posture, even into my adult life and to this very day. I try to roll my shoulders back on my own, but I always feel like I looked unnatural As if I was trying to hard, and trying to push out my chest. I have known for awhile now that I needed help with this, so I began to look for something to help me with my posture. My grandma use to warn me if didn't fix my posture, that I would end up looking like the hunch back of Notre dame! Nobody wants that! Plus in my adult life, my pain tolerance has dwindled from the many years of suffering from the constant pain in my shoulders. Enough was enough. I am so thankful I found this product! I have been wearing it ever since I bought it and I can already feel a huge difference in my posture and pain! So far the painful tingling and burning has almost completely gone away, as long as I have this brace on! It is so easy to use and put on, and even easier to adjust it all by yourself. The padding is great! Making it very comfortable, so I am able to wear this brace all day long without any discomfort. I was worried it would make me look/feel funny, but it helps pull back my shoulders and also looks helps me look natural while doing so. You can wear this easily over your clothes or under it, if you want or need it hidden. I especially love wearing this while working because I dont have to constantly think about and remind myself to pull my shoulders back, because this helps me automatically do so. Which also helps keep me pain free while I work. I can't say enough great things about this awesome product! If you struggle with your posture and keeping your shoulders rolled back on your own, then this is exactly what you need! Look no further! I promise you will not be disappointed. I have suffered for years with this annoying tingling and burning sensation and to finally have a break from it is Amazing! Beyond words! I am so thankful for this product and hope one day it completely trains my body into having and maintaining great posture. So thankful that it is comfortable to wear and easy to use, and that it ACTUALLY works. Thank you so much for creating such an awesome product, that actually does what it says. I couldn't be more satisfied and thankful for my purchase. Thank you thank you! A million times thank you!
