The brace WORKS.. only if you use it to get feedback from the strap that you are slouching. You need to engage the muscles to keep upright and THAT is what works. The brace helps to remind the the upper back is slouching. Period.

I agree that the strap doesnt build strength but it could be a reminder to hold yourself in position. The exercises are a must.

There is nothing wrong with using a posture brace as long as you aren't relying on the posture brace to fix your core posture issues. Using the posture brace while you are consciously working on the posture issues can be positive motivator and reminder.

Reasons it doesn't work: 1:16 Not building the strength needed for change. 2:25 Gives the illusion of better posture Things to do instead: 4:16 Reset your posture often (consciously) 4:38 technique. 5:21 Tissue care (stretching) of supporting muscles. 6:17 Build strength to support muscles 7:09 exercises to help with that

stop this nonsense video. ofcourse exercises are a must. but you're not working out all day right? that thing is to help you guide your posture throughout the day. you could've just said exercise and then wear it for overall posture correction. and if an arrogant someone says he doesn't need it after the exercise, then he has too much confidence about himself and forgot that relying too much of himself got him his bad back in the first place. creating incorrect awareness is a waste of time!

Yea but who the heck is finna keep on remembering to do that all day that’s why the strap is good it keeps you always focused on it so you don’t slouch...not to the point where you can’t go through out your day

Interesting my father had bad posture. Cracked his sternum, had to wear a brace for a period of time once removed he has had perfect posture and no back issues ever since. Interesting that you seem to think it doesn’t work

I'm gonna predict what you'll say: these are a crutch that just artificially accomplish what your own back muscles should be doing, so your back muscles will get weaker, and instead you should focus on strengthening and stretching. I'm gonna predict what you're missing: our bodies adapt to the positions we put them in in order to be most efficient (by minimizing the potential energy caused by tension and compression: increasing entropy). If a muscle is in a constant stretched state, that muscle will lengthen. If a muscle is in a constant compressed state, it will shorten. Why do you think desk workers have forward rolled shoulders, and people who sit down all the time have tight hip flexors? It's not because they strengthened their front delts, chest, or hip flexors. It's a combination of tightening of the pecks/front delts + lengthening of the upper back (rounded shoulders); and tightening of the hip flexors + lengthening of the glutes. And these changes happen ONLY because of prolonged positioning of the body. The brace makes use of the same adapting mechanism, in reverse, to cause your upper back to tighten and chest to lengthen. A training program isn't the only way. There are plenty of people with absolutely zero strength who have good posture. Edit: I was right

If you are going to sit still in front of your desk 8 hours! Ofc you need a posture corrector!! We focus on doing the work sitting that we don't remember reminding ourselves of the posture. The exercises can be done after work hour.

As someone who has scoliosis and hypermobility I had to go through countless exercises, physical therapy, and stretches. I think both exercise and a reminder (the brace) is a great investment. Completely relying on yourself for a beneficial habit to form is unlikely. They say it takes 21 days to build one. Ive been trying to hold posture for 2 years now and it's hard! With the brace it actually gives a little boost and support that actually holds my back to a slight degree giving some support for my cervical region. Personally I think it worth the investment, although if you truly have THAT much dedication good on ya

It works actually, just not like you think. And the price is only $2.69 in my region. So it's totally worth it.

If you reading this God bless you and make you great. Have a nice day

I use it a few times a month for a day or 2 as a reminder of correct posture because it’s easy to go back to poor posture without even realizing it. That’s it. The rest of the month is spent doing daily correctives for correct posture and than trying my best to carry that posture with me everyday: on my own. - Posture correctors are GREAT reminders and bring your subconscious posture to the surface so you can learn to catch yourself.

The "right way" is what works for each individual person. A brace is meant to be used in conjunction with the proper stretches and exercises. Attempt to "put in the work" yourself, step out of the gym and do some research. A brace is not meant to be cranked down until it is doing all of the work, that goes with almost any medical brace. It's a reminder for those that might need it, making posture more than a subconscious afterthought. That's exactly what you are attempting to explain in the high energetic, misunderstood, meat head with no true understanding of psychology, a very base understanding of physiology and absolutely no clue how the two interact in different personality types. Edit: You are entirely insulting to anyone that used a brace. That's why you believe there's no gray area and everyone is either for or against.

They do work. I’m using one and i feel great.

just use it once a week. I’ve used these for a year or so and do not regret it!

I enjoy using my brace. It’s a mental reminder to work on my core as well as you post exercises.

I think these are a good AID! I say this to say, don’t forget the exercises that we need to support our back but just like a waist belt that you’d use for heavy deadlifts or knee sleeves you use to squat, it’s just a support. So don’t rely on the posture corrector alone to give you the posture, but use it to help in tandem with the proper exercises

Any crutch will make you weaker right where you need to be stronger i.e. orthotic insoles for flat feet. However, there appears to be a use to these things that is different to that of a support or a brace in reminding the wearer to engage the appropriate chains for good posture. I'd be interested in seeing what people's results are after extended periods of not wearing posture braces. I can see people ending up having to go back to wearing it and thus it would become a crutch either way.

This is bs. I wear one and this one just REMINDS you when youre not straight. When u wanna go in comfort zone again, then its reminding you, thats it. U still can sit howerever you want, this back corrector isnt doing the work, you still need to do it, its not a machine.

Back strap is good for those who are on a computer for hours. It those keep you from warping your back. I do agree doing back exercise is important, but the reality is most people won’t exercise. 🙈😁

All he’s doing is advertising his own company by discriminating other products, I hope people aren’t stupid to believe it

I was considering buying one because I've recently gained a large amount of weight and don't have the proper strength to sit straight but I'll reconsider buying a brace and will definitely try and get myself into the habit to get the muscles strong.

The brace does help out a lot and works

Hello! You must have good posture “in mind” while lifting and etc. this thing can help make those mind muscle connections in the beginning. Merely a tool to use in the “beginning” of your posture/ weight lighting journey

I think what this could potentially help in is stretching out tights chest muscles that bunch up your shoulders together. So when you’re not building strength for your back muscles you’re loosening up your too tight chest muscles. That would be pretty helpsful

I bet those delusional people that wrote negative comments regarding this video are still wearing their useless posture braces because their too lazy to do the strengthening exercises that are necessary.

So you’re saying it works too well and you need to learn to improve without it? Wrong title for the video

Couldn't you use the brace while working out to help keep in the proper position and build strength while in the proper position

Idk why you're so polarized on this topic but I think as most commenters have suggested a combination of the two would be the most beneficial. And they clearly help, you could compare it to having to wear a retainer to keep your teeth straight.

It works for Hypermobile people. It works great, helping you build the mucle needed to support your posture yourself and temporarily reliving the pain caused by overextended shoulders.

In the 1960s my father had to wear a special vest that would hold to sandbags on a string pulling your neck back to correct your posture it definitely alleviated his back pain

Was looking into getting a back brace, but I think I'll do this instead.

"Don't buy that product, buy my program."

I used this type of posture corrector and what I felt it did for me was that it was uncomfortable. In order for it to be bearable, I had to consciencely correct my posture my self

Obviously just wearing a strap will not build strength.. that’s common sense. However when I broke my collar bone and was told pay a ton of money for one from the hospital or buy one online I did and healed perfectly and it improved my posture as well. Do you even have any qualifications to talk about health lol?

I have a stretchy back brace, feels great. But i see your point

Thank you for sharing you opened my eyes for posture wellness

I agree to build strength. Trying for years and it never happens. Got to do both and sometimes wear a posture brace.

they do work

I think you can use this brace if you are going to something and you need good posture, but for everyday use

Ohh I should ditch the brace because it's a placebo and only strength training helps? Several tucked front lever pull ups sets multiple times a week should count as strong back. And yet if I don't wear the brace regularly at work my lower back will get horrible pains. Perhaps add the disclaimer you are spewing bullshit that only applies to some people

Disagree...he said if your mature, you have stopped growing.. Hence your unable to correct posture as you would when someone is still in the tender periods of growth... But from my point of view... I see a mature person fully grown, however this adult is beginning to grow in a slump back position.. if you can wear a brace that aids in several ways to discourage that back curvature... Go for it.... Any help is better than no help.. I like the reminder to use muscles that you normally wouldn't...

dont use this product use mine!

Thank you appreciated your service and information ❤.

Thanks for the tips Aaron Paul

Posture correcter helped me breathe better because my back is a bit fucked and not much air going into my lungs because my body is fucked I used them and they really do help me a bit

They do help actually

You can wear this while doing gym coz it will keep your shoulder back and retracted

Back posture helped me be alittle more comfortable but holding myself up is still hard muscles tight

Careful, your neck is bent in some of your exercises. Posture is from tailbone to crown.

I tore both my shoulders wearing this during exercises

Do you recommend wearing a brace just while exercising if you have neck pain?

Thank you God!! I like this idea better ❤️🥰

What about using the posture brace and working out

could you suggest me a corrector or strap? I know you said they dont work but I have such bad poster that if i dont pay attention my back literally slumps

Thanks for saving me some money. I will definitely try some of your suggestions

some have claimed that it has

These braces work. That's why they (and tape) are used by professionals. Training is of course good as well, but it's weird to lie about the braces. They do not only help temporarily, they actually help having a lasting effect since they are effective at correcting posture.

Thank u sir very nicely guided

Wrong it does make it a habit ur brain thinks it still wearing it just like when u remove a ring from ur finger

I have a questions ! Im a mx racer . I have , not terrible posture , but not good either and What i i have noticed is that When on my bike and on the track , I can see on pictures and videos that my bodyposition on the bike is bad, head / shoulders rolled forward. Do you think a Brace like a posture corrector Could be to my advantedge in a situation such as Mine ? Not to permanently fix my bad posture but to help me to get my shoulders back for when im training to get my bodyposition on the bike better?

Good stuff! I need this so bad.

Agree but it’s useful to cement the habit.

Do you know some workouts for posture. My shoulders are kinda rounded where my shoulder blades poke out of my back

I am use it? name what? How much?

Mmm....nah I don't think so

I thing u should use both way to get better result. And i will try it

Very professional man. Thanks !

Do have a video for the SI joint? I battle this constantly and can’t find any stretches or strength exercises to rid me of this chronic issue. Thanks

Actually you're so wrong, it really works

dang man idk what i was expecting when i was about to buy this. thanks for saving me $19.99 haha i was just so desperate for no more back pain. this thing probably does more bad than good because if you do use it all the time it probably makes the muscles weaker

Wrong, this guy just wants to sell his product. ~Next~

I’m talking about when you’re 95

This guy working for chiropractors and orthopedics???

Please do a video on back hump. How to reduce it. It's painful and doesn't look good.

Makes sense

HES NOT RIGHT. he is but when u have scoliosis and are deaking with an injury bed riddi g u for a long time. Or suffered some kund of accident. Hes wrong. I have scoluosis a d-cup and had heen in a bad accident bed rudding me for a loooong time. I have to use a scarf a lot cuz the upper back pain is FUCKED. But yah it does take training and practice. I did that my whole life. But....i recently refucked up my leg once again out of commision for a loooong as time. And im once again having yo use the scarf.

..unconvincing..

Is it posture or pasture.

You right 😢

Says the guy who works out. Lol i had my leg reconstructed a decade ago and didnt get to walk for 3 years. I made sure u kept my corebetrong did yoga good diet. And god my back was fine. I gave scoliosis so ive always done my best to keep up. With my leg messed up again amd its again been s years. With huge d- cups. I have to wear a scarf around my shoulders and aling my back. I train my posture to get rid of extreme back pain. EXTREME BACK PAIN. And ut helps. Uts not a back brace but a scarf. And it works. Im actually wanting to try a back brace but i think hes wrong

@Amber in the box Lol oh god, ok look this video is more for the people that are perfectly fine but just never learned how to have good postre and are always hunched over because theyre too Lazy to hold their shoulders up or simply just forget to sit up straight or stand straight. Again im not talking about the people that cant because of some health problem. Im talking about the people that are perfectly healthy but just have bad postre. healthy people see this strap as a solution to their lazyness. Its just like buying apples already sliced for triple the normal price of the apple lol

Nice !

super funny dude 😁

It works ..

they do work, dont listen to this guy

What a load of nonsense lmao yeah what works is paying you for training, programs, etc etc

Did anyone tried sleeping with it? Just curious.

🤦‍♀️

😂😂💀
