Dr. Arthritis Doctor Developed Posture Support/Posture Correct/Stabilizer/Back Brace & Handbook - Fully Adjustable for Upper & Lower Back Pain. Suitable for Men & Women (Black, M)

This is a nifty little gadget. From the first day I wore it, I felt an immediate difference. I wore the support brace for a few hours and when I took it off, the first time my shoulders slumped, I FELT it! It made me hyper aware of the discomfort and alerted me to stand straighter. I have a slight stenosis in my spine and terrible posture so I’m really hoping that consistent use of this will train my muscles to stand straighter and help support my back, along with some strength training. The only downside is more user error. I think I got a size too big. I did measure it based on the chart but it’s quite possible I measured wrong as I did it on myself. I think I could have afforded to go smaller in order to get a more snug fit. That said, I’m really enjoying using this and look forward to seeing what kind of progress I will make with it.

I wish I had tried this earlier. I didn't realize i was past the window of return. This posture corrector does nothing. I tried to adjust it several ways. I tried to wear it all day to see if it could actually be adjusted. When adjusting the straps it just rides higher and higher on the back. It does not keep your posture upright at all. There is no way to fix this to ensure that it stays lower on the back so your shoulders pull back. It is absoluteley a waste of money. I wish I could return it.

I've had this for about 3 weeks now and my overall feel for this product is that it's nice to wear during the workday as I work at home all day, but I don't think I'd wear this to work or under my shirt. I wear this while I work during the day and it's an excellent reminder to not lean forward to type--just scoot closer to the desk then type. I think that aspect of wearing this product is very good. I give it 4 stars because on the other hand, it's decently comfortable and I tried wearing this under my shirt on a ~3 mile run and I didn't really feel support from it and it gave me a rash. I also wore this over my shirt on a 2 or 3 hour walk / hike with some friends, but I didn't really feel support from it yet again. So, overall I like this for working from home, but I would not wear this outside. Also, it kind of makes me want to get something heavier duty. So I like the concept of this product but I may like a heavier duty one rather than this one, but once again for working at home it's nice--but lacking comfort. I think I could wear this to the office but I wouldn't wear this under my shirt I'd wear two shirts and put it underneath the 2nd one.

The straps that go under your arm needs something on the edges as it cuts into your skin. Outside of that, it works well

Posture support rig looks great, sturdy material. Instructions are a joke (ridiculously tiny print, no useful photos or diagrams). Difficult to put on, impossible to adjust -- I tried twice, then tossed it in the "Goodwill" box. Back brace is somewhat better -- incomplete instructions, but not too difficult to figure it out via trial & error. Comfortable enough to sleep in, not sure how much weight I can carry while wearing it, though.

As soon as I started wearing the Dr. Arthritis Posture Support, I couldn't believe how much better I felt! I could breathe much easier, and my constant shoulder and rib pain were greatly reduced. And with continued wear, my pain relief continued to improve. But, the best part is that after wearing the Support for only a short time, my posture without it is unbelievably better because it trained my body to feel what good posture is. And, if I notice that I'm starting to slouch, all I have to do is wear the Support again to remind my body of what good posture feels like. I just can't say enough about the "magic bullet" effects of this Support, plus it's really pretty, easy to adjust, comfortable to wear and inexpensive. Thanks again, Dr. Arthritis, for another wonderful product and accompanying doctor written handbook.

Despite the photos and illustrations we were not able to even approximate the smooth fit that would be comfortable and do the job of pulling his shoulders back, reminding him to stand straight, etc. I asked my PT about it, and he said that these things can do more harm than good, as they don't treat the cause of why the patient is stooping! Without addressing the chairs used for computer work, the car seat, etc. etc. you are simply trading one irregular muscular contraction for another, and bound to cause more issues. In any event, it would not have done the job of reminding him to stand erect, as the way it fit under the arms was so loose it had him standing like a chicken, wings out, to avoid the discomfort!

Lo uso desde hace como 1 año, no me encanta pero si sirve. Cuando la usé constantemente noté cambios buenos, peroo re puede llegar a raspar la axila y duele muchisimo. La dejé de usar pero porque no soporté 🙊.

Lo pedí para mejorar mi postura pero me quedó grande, serían tan amables de decirnos cómo se puede devolver el producto? Gracias adelantadas
