Are back braces good for correcting bad posture?

By admin

I've seen back braces for sale on the net which are supposed to pull your shoulders back and help correct bad posture. Does anyone know if they work?

Yes as they make you more conscious of your posture all the time.

Yes, a good (approved) back brace can help correct posture, but remember that this is usually a temporary fix.

You have to make changes in the way you carry yourself, sit, sleep, etc.. as well.

Good luck!

i do not know unfortunatley but i will offer you tips such as sitting up straight always of course, and when your walking tip your head up a little more than usual. you will automatically bring your back up to keep from looking silly, and walk with tall people where you will walk to keep in stride and look as if your part of the group

Only short term; otherwise, the muscles that you would normally use to maintain a correct posture start to atrophy (weaken) due to non-use. Conclusively, you're worse off.

My sister worn one for 1 year and her doctor found no improvement wearing the brase. She is now doing back muscle strenghting exercises which seem to make her fell better and her posture is better. She has only been doing this for 3 months but you can tell a difference looking at her from the side and front.

Yes, they are also used after spinal surgery to keep the correct posture which aids the fusion of tissue and so forth.
