I started using the posture corrector but the one you also need to strap the waste for about 10 months. They always told me it just a reminder to keep your shoulders back. Now I can feel the change on my shoulders and back. My chest is out and my posture looks and feels so much better ! So yes i recommend to use a posture corrector but try to use it consistently. I use this only when i work.
I think the best thing to say is, they will not work in fixing everything but they are a great reminder for you to keep your shoulders back, they are there to help and remind you about your posture. if you do nothing but rely on these to do it all though, I dont think anything will change
But they will work to take the stress off certain parts of your body
these things from my experience are slightly fixing muscle shortening (major contributor into round shoulders), but thee main effect is muscle memory. after around a week of using a brace, you gonna feel that you span your shoulders without thinking
Hey Tim! I'm a fellow Physical Therapist and I agree with you in the sense that short term it can help provide relief but the problem I find is that they are marketed as a solution for correcting your posture as an easy fix which makes people choose this as an alternate to actual strengthening of the key muscles . Also in my head the logic of using these long term would cause a decrease in extensor activity and overall lose in strength in these muscles and thus in the long term making your posture worse. That's my 2 cents 🙌 ...on a side note , I do Love your videos and your channel..cheers 🙌
When does it stop being short term and become long term?
What if you use them and strengthen those muscles? Seems like the longer the muscle is in a good position if you strengthen it, when it heals it will heal in the superior position. Idk just a thought
Is this product helpful to straighten backbone?
Actual 2 cents or do you just want more business?
Yes I agree with you Mr, but we can use it for long term only if we do proper exercise.
• Only the one's who has the problem will know the pain and solution right?
Thank you for making this video. I slouch and roll my shoulders forward all the time. I will be buying a posture brace to help me get into the habit of keeping my shoulders back and looking into and starting exercises to fix the problem permanently.
how about it now?
yea I wanna know
Hi, did you try it? I'm planning to do the same and I'm curious if that worked for you!?
I’ve been having headaches in my back neck for a long time, probably when I gained weight. This is a good video. I subbed.
I read this as i have an headaches in my back and my brain shut downed
My brain is having a headache reading this
I reckon you should be focusing on your English first before pointing fingers at someone else mate 😅. Fair point though. Headaches from your back is truly mind boggling. @maneihiralte7783
@@SHEZZY-hs7nm hahaha
Thanks for your input🙌
Very informative. Thank you so much
Great video!
Have you tried posture braces before? Did they help you?
You probably should pin questions like this. Cant believe theres no answers lol
Great staff
I love that you love your job and its gadgets.
Awesome video, just subscribed! You sound really cool, this is such an annoying thing to deal with and I’m glad you addressed it. Gonna check out the rest of your videos later, thanks for making them! 💪🙏✌️
actually i had bad plantar fasciaitis and wore high arch new balance tennis shoes to bed at night for a month and it fully resolved
do you have a video about strengthening exercises to improve poster and fix forward head posture + tension headaches?
how long should I use them? a month then should be off the brace? thank you
Thank youuu!!! ❤
Thanks for sharing!
I have kyphosis. I REALLY WANT IT FIXED. I wonder if a brace will help?
i have scoliosis and the brace i have helps big time better than anything else i've tried
I use an elastic band to work out with and it helped me when I threw out my back wrestling
Tim I want to know is it Better to wear this whilst strengthening and conditioning the muscles?
I have two other questions: 1. What is meant by short-term? 2. Why do you expect downsides when using it for longer?
1) temporary
2) your muscles become weaker
Think of it as parents.
They'll support you and do everything for you until you reach a curtain age. Afterwards its on you to be responsible.
Temporary in terms of what? A week? A month?
@@Tagrush1689just use it while strengthening you’re back muscles at the same time. Eventually you’ll feel no need to use it anymore. Like if you break ur leg you’re gonna use a wheel chair until you can walk again. If you use the wheel chair for months you’re either not healed or using it unnecessarily
@@james6748what excercises can i do? Also should i wear it to gym
"Mini scapula... little humerus here" very sweet :)
Can I wear one while operating a forklift?
I suffer from this rounded shoulders and forward neck protrusion. You said you would link the exercise video but none of the links look like they are exercises. Do you have the link? I would really appreciate the help. I do have a lot of neck tension and pain.

i am a bra creator, specialising in large and XL busts, and I'm wondering if you thought some very light posture braces, but not a full on one, just some lighter elatics in those areas could be helpful to improve posture and back pain for heavy busts? I would of course consult a physician about how to implement it exactly, but i'm wondering what your or anyone on here's thoughts are? thanks!
Ooooh do you make custom bras? I’m a 34/36 J and I’m always on the hunt for the perfect bra.
You know those clips used to pull the straps together in the back for certain sleeve cut styles? I feel like those always helped a lot with my back pain and made me stand up straighter! Of course the biggest issue is the cup cutting into the tissue on the front and causing quadboob.
I like mainly buy bras that have the option for cross strapping in the back I feel like that helps with posture a lot. But it sucks that they don’t make a lot of thick strapped bras that would help even better. And I’d also be more inclined to buy if they were also cute, posture is important but it’s nice to also feel cute lol
So I just got a posture correction strap. Out of the box it was WAY too tight. I loosened it to the maximum adjustment so that it's snug and comfortable when my posture is correct. When I begin to round my shoulders it binds and gets uncomfortable, so I engage some muscles to straighten up. I do like the idea of wearing this for only one or two hours a day.
Whats the best size too get like im a 2xl dose size matter?
i be using this shit for like 8 hours straight
@@Elvisious has it worked
@@Elvisious has it worked for you?
@@ygbodybuilder3023 Yeah I've got one, can confirm that this works. I usually wear it for the entire day, but I'll take a few days off to get myself acquainted with staying in a good position without needing the brace.
What's difference between full back brace and upper back brace ?
I have same confusion.
bro can we fully recover from winged scapula issue if nerve involve ?
how long does it take?
I’m a delivery driver and I slump over a ton I have noticed so if I get one my ass is wearing it all day while working lol but haven’t decided if I’m getting one just yet
Hey I have scoliosis and my back hurts every single day..I'm in the market for back brace to help take away a bit of the pain. What on your recommendations for that type of problem??
I have some difficultis with my bad posture, but you are cute, and so on, and so on..
😂
Sleeping with the posture brace stops me rolling onto my side, rolling onto the side shoves all the torso weight onto my shoulder, which shoves it forwards, squashing it for hours every day.
Obviously wearing the posture brace to bed HELPS.
Hi Tim ..!
I'm a professional who used to sit in front of my laptop for 5 to 6 hrs per day and I'm suffering from Kyphosis. Kindly suggest a best posture corrector to get better.
Will it help if worn during workouts? While Lifting weights? To keep the back safe to avoid injuries
Wondering the same thing
I’d get a back brace for lifting. They usually go around the lower back and keep your back from rounding/curving while doing things like squats and dead lifts
I wear mines sometimes
It has not been an issue
It keeps me reminded to keep my back straight
Yes, I do when I lift weights because it balances you out, especially when I do curls with the barbell. I get a nice even motion
Could I wear this in my working environment? I have to be on my feet all day and I fear my posture is suffering. 6 - 8 hour shifts.
The real question would there be is their literature to confirm that "bad posture" is actually linked to pain and other negative outcomes? Furthermore, would movement (ie breaking up prolonged sitting) have a greater or equal benefit to these braces?
I dont like bracing as it implies 'posture' is someones problem rather than being immobile in inefficient positions for long durations. Add this to those same people being likely weak through their hips and mid back and I dont know if 'posture' is the real issue. Thoughts?
Yes, it is "linked".
Do you also believe the Earth is flat?
I've got adhd so I constantly forget my surroundings, which also include my own posture. If I'm ever able to sit with my back straight I find that my head starts tilting to the side. I'm trying to use meditation as a way
to learn mindfullness, but man it's really hard for me.
Me too 😞
learn a new language, that will improve your memory
@@thebuniverse6739 ADHD isn't a memory issue, it's a distraction issue. I have extremely good memory, everyone remarks about all the minutia details I can easily recall... but I often forget to go to the bathroom before it's almost too late simply because every little detail distracting me. Then there is time blindness not realizing how much time passes.
Me too man i cant remember to keep my posture straight
they work better than not wearing them at all, but unless you make a conscious effort you probably will return back to bad posture if you dont have the discipline to keep doing it, its not like they going to bend up your spine into the correct form to fix it permanently
Can you just wear a weighted vest?
Are this exercise good for a person with platinum rods on her spine
I bought the best one you said, and it is SOOOO freakin uncomfortable and I can't wear it no longer than an hour, and I honestly don't see how it is really helping.
It’s uncomfortable cause it’s fixing your fucked up back, the more you wear it and get used to it the better your back will be going forward bruh
I wore it for a bit too long atleast ig 10 hours and now i cant even lay down it hurts so bad my back is like its burning
I’m using mine at a low level of tightness to remind me when I’m slouching. 🧘
Can a brace be beneficial when I'm wearing it when I sit for long times? I used to be very active, but ever since I study I have to spend so much time sitting and it's definitely not good for my back and posture 😭😭
*How long would short term be?? 6 to 8 weeks I suppose*
He doesnt mean a specific set of time, he means that this wont give permanent results. It helps keep your posture straight as you wear it so it temporarily relieves your problems but you should use it in conjuction with exercise so the results stay.
i definitely thought that was a mini elephant statue
Thank
Would i be bad if you use it the whole day
Not needed. I had very bad posture about 1.5 years ago, rolled shoulders inwards and curved neck and spine. I now have near perfect posture. I started with yoga sessions which helped, painfully, stretch out the pecs and correct the shoulder pull but even then the position was never natural until i developed the back strength to hold it naturally. The reality is you have to be able to get the position and then be able to naturally effortlessly sustain it and yes that's very possible. What feels awkward and requires effort at the start, will ultimately become natural, using braces wont strengthen the muscles and its not about just getting the position if you dont have the muscles at the back to hold it, its pointless you will be sore and tired all day trying to keep position. You have to make it natural.
So maybe pair it with exercise and before and after workout
Could you recommend the exercises or videos you used?
@@PRIMORDIaL_Truflation The shoulder position was done with rolling and massaging the pec and stretching it over several sessions, this combined with work developing the upper back and shoulder muscles to naturally hold it open.
I would recommend a yoga instructor for it because the results are good, it hurts to do, you wont enjoy the sessions much, but the results are great and long term. I cant tell you how huge a difference it made to me, my shoulders were rolled in, my neck forward and now, my posture is naturally tall and correct.
Once you have it just remember to stretch and use the posture all the time and it will stay comfortably. The problem with doing it yourself is motivation, you really have to commit to a couple of months of hard work on it, and for me that's easier when you pay for a yoga instructor to do it in private sessions. I had a small female yoga instructor and believe me her strength could take me to the limits of what i could endure and she corrected it with ease.
whats about back straightener for Duchenne muscular dystrophy
I tried one and it seemed to compress my axillary nerve or artery, anyways hurt my axillary region so got rid of it
so can you where while it work out?
My back is a weird shape. I always been super self conscious about it and I wanna fix it so bad, it’s like an s shape and nobody I know has that type of back. How do I fix it!!
You might have scoliosis, in severe cases those needs surgery to fix
I need something for scapula winging brace
So wearing a posture brace all day is bad?
How long is short term ?
How many months to wear?
Thanks
Couple seconds
Hey Tim! What are the scap exercises you reference 3:11 ?
I had surgery done on my shoulder 8 mos ago & now I’m getting pinched nerves running down that arm each time I lean fwd, bend down or whenever not sitting/standing straight. I notice that placing my shoulder backwards, it stops or prevents pinched nerve cycle. Is there a brace that can pull or keep shoulder backwards?
Have you tried the posture correctional shirts?
❤❤❤
Not even close. Been wearing one for years and I still have terrible posture n hunch.
Unless u have bad posture in your sleep too …
I operate a crane for a living. I’m in a seated position. I am leaning forward looking through a glass floor, between my feet for 8hrs + a day. Rounding my back and craning my neck is an issue. Do you think a brace like is would help me? Any other suggestions would be welcome. Thanks. 🍻
Maybe for one or two hours a day but long-term no
fashion a telescope lol
Sir how long have to wear it can wear it whole day please answer
The worst thing about the posture brace is the chiropractors trying to criticize them (bad advice quacks).
🤩 🤩
Bro is mad attractive
Video start 1:05
Amazon says they are out of stock.... any where else to order them?
AliExpress
Everywhere else I’ve watched says that these posture braces are useless and only effective while wearing them. Does this video include any paid sponsorship?
No paid sponsorship Gus. I bought them myself.
It’s more like a supplement that should be applied with muscle strengthening and stretching of tight muscles to reduce poor posture.
Is this help to straighten backbone?
Just the shoulders
@@insa919 ooh..thankyou
❤
Is it good to wear when lifting weights
Hey did u get the answer , plz tell me as well??

Hair loss
From balls
just talking why don’t you show how it gelps to your body bro

Those Chinese factory assembled "braces" in Amazon or not even close to the braves tested on athletes. They have to be custom made for the person or that will actually damage your spine. I'm 44 man, I've seen 8 million of you in my life. Knock it off, you're giving people stats on something they can't get on Amazon.
