I bought one and will review it for those wondering. I bought mine off of eBay for literally about 2 bucks. Everyone should buy one off of eBay as you really can't lose even if it doesn't work for you. The upside is your life improves drastically and it only cost you 2 dollars lol. However, I find it does an excellent job correcting your posture. If you sit at a desk all day you won't slump forward as everytime you do it will force you back up. This is amazing and the brace is basically elastics with a pad on the back, so you can wear it under your clothes. No one will even be able to tell if your shirt is thick enough. Once you wear it everyday you'll be able to feel your back muscles contract a lot easier when doing exercises, too, which is exactly what you want. The only downside is it only helps your upper body. Normally, you slump forward and your hip compensates by bending your lower back. This is bad but also somewhat good because keeps everything aligned. When you wear the brace your upper back never slump and bends into alignment. This means when you're sitting the lower back will bend out of good posture but your upper back won't. This makes your lower back want to curve even more to compensate for the lack of bend in the upper back. Obviously, not good. However, if you do a ton of hip flexor stretches you can stop a lot of the lower back pain from happening. It's a lot easier to only focus on hip stretching then hip and thoracic mobility. The brace takes care of the upper part and all you have to do is worry about the lower part. Like I said from the start, you can't lose picking up a cheap eBay one.

[@Doctorcanniball]

sorry for bumping such an old comment but i was wondering if those would help for peoples with "structural" thoracic kyphosis and who have insanely stretched spinal erectors in that area? would this end up making the erectors even weaker or would it allow them to stay contracted for a longer period trough the day? i guess no one really studied the effect of braces on muscular resting so i would understand if no one could give a clear answer but i had to ask anyway. thank you

Did it work?

[@360.Tapestry]

lol what a flake

[@jakubpolak1459]

@@JeremyYost I found his "review" on other video "How to Fix Your Posture (NO MORE ROUNDED SHOULDERS!)". You can check, it is third comment from top for me. Basicaly he says it did good for him, but the video itself and one commenter to his comment bellow said, that it is kinda short term sollution, that you still need to train these muscles as well or otherwise you will go to bad posture after some time again time after taking it off. I would still definitely try it just to see how it looks.

[@Potentialaj]

I'm glad to find people talk about this. I want stop sitting so much but all the standing irritates my back. I'm glad he has a free book about this. I need it

[@r4lara]

Mr. Bowman, I just downloaded your book and I must say thank you for genuinely wanting to help people. I had spinal fusion of the l5-s1 a few years back and though I did see improvements my job/daily activities have set me back a little with my recovery. You putting this in depth knowledge out there so willingly is truly amazing. I wish you the best with your career and hope more people like you exist

[@bufordmaddogtannen]

Do these devices work? "The short answer to that is yes, due to the reason I just explained" A few minutes later goes along the lines of: "No, not in the long run as they don't fix the root problem (bad posture that cause among other things shoulder to slouch), just one of the symptoms" Plus shameless plug on posture ebook.

[@telectronix1368]

His comments are not inconsistent, though. Yes, corrective devices, braces, straps can correct your posture or alliviate some symptoms like back pain **in the short term** and while you are wearing them. No, those devices do not address any underlying or long-term causes of those symptoms.

[@vincentfisherman1928]

[@vincentfisherman1928]

Update: i bought it few weeks ago and it really hurts around the underarm area. This area is very vascularized so I don’t think this device (in any brand) is healthy. I don’t recommend it.

[@Sääftig]

thx man :)

[@karllee858]

Vincentsoul I’ve worn mine every other day to work for about a month and a half. While wearing it properly and not affecting the aforementioned vascularized areas through thoughtful use, I have seen a great improvement in the lengthening of my chest tissues. Through that my posture has improved and the balance between my chest and back is much closer to where I want it. Wholeheartedly recommend. Wear it properly and you could see the same results that I have.

[@timothyurso9244]

Hey Blake, would you recommend posture correction braces for correcting shoulders that are rounded caused by dislocations and surgery. My right shoulder has healed in the incorrect position. I have gone through the programs for posture correcting but after a year my right shoulder still rounds forward despite the left shoulder being completely fixed. I believe it has to do with the severity of the labral tear and the surgery only on the right shoulder which caused tightness and reduced range of motion. The shoulder is now set slightly forward and rounded. My body is like an experiment on surgery vs. functional training. I can tell you from my experience the surgery helped the stability, but I would not recommend due to loss in range of motion. First try functional training because my left was injured the same way just less severe of a tear but now is strong with full range of motion after a year of functional training. My right lost range of motion and the scar tissue causes pain and popping but at least it does not pop out of place and is stable. I am hoping despite the surgery I can correct my right shoulders placement and rid myself of the pain, but this may be years of training away. Thanks for all the info it has really helped.

[@randomperson-de1rs]

Wear a backpack and it works too But you have to wear it properly The end of backpack is around your hip and it’s really tight so your shoulders are pulses back

[@emZee1994]

how can I use a posture correction brace to help me in the long term without it becoming a crutch? like let's assume I have discovered the root cause of my bad posture, and I am taking all the right steps to correct it. could I use a brace in the meantime to help accelerate the posture correction process? and then eventually not wear it at all? how would u use a brace? when and for how long should it be worn etc p.s. I really love what you are doing Blake. it's inspiring and youre really doing something great here I hope u continue to do so for a long time

[@GuerrillazenFitness]

Try wearing it only during your workouts. That's what I would do

[@emZee1994]

***** thanks. Appreciate

I say : it makes sense, bad posture is the symptom not the root of the problem.

[@mickeymojito]

Can losing weight play a significant role ? I'm currently 5'7", 240 pounds, but working on it. Everything I've read and watched says my "recommended" weight should be anywhere from 150-185. I keep it all around my waist and man boobs. I can't help but feel that this is the main culprit for my slouching.

[@NexusARC]

I used to weight about the same and losing weight has helped me out immensely but I still suffer from back pain, however I work from home in a recliner and not even a desk so that more than likely contributes.

[@bluehawaii1631]

He said it right. This helps superficial level and corrects posture in theory unless the root causes are fixed. For that go to see chiropractor. Do spinal alignment from chiropractor and retrain your muscles at home together

[@watch_general6753]

sleeping without a pillow also helps

[@mpg296]

How about sleeping with a very thin pillow? No pillow is uncomfortable

[@garycazzell4547]

i also think some good shoes can help posture. people have a tendency to take advantage of heel support, when they should be using all the arcs at the ball of the foot for support. as a result the pelvis will start drawing back and throwing off the body's center of gravity. to balance we lean forward. i was wondering if someone could investigate a type of shoe that encourages standing on tge ball of the foot to see if that helps, as well. I'll buy one of these harnesses and review, in about a month or two as well.

[@ImIlyaz]

Daniel Bariquello yeah I was also thinking the samr thing, the shoulders aren't a big problem, it's the neck. So I was thinking of getting those neck braces

[@gow2ilove]

Daniel Bariquello Hi Dan, it's not about just pulling the shoulders back - it's about pulling the chest up with the combination of bringing the shoulders back and down. When you get your chest more upwardly pointing then your neck comes back into better alignment. Blake provides excellent videos here and do does the KZbin channel Athlean-X. I would look at both.
