PRIMEKINETIX PostureMedic Dynamic Posture Brace for Neck and Back Support -For Enhanced Shoulder Alignment, Posture Improvement & Stretching-L(Silver)

I've been using the correct size (L) for my build, twice per day for 20 mins for a week, and already I'm feeling less strain keeping my back straight. My business keeps me at the computer 7-11 hours per day x 6 days/week on average studying 4 monitors. This causes me to hunch forward. So I wear the device at the computer mostly, and it doesn't interfere with the chair back. I see it as a long term process, wearing it more according to the clear instructions. The key is to get the correct size for your build and be self-disciplined about wearing it ;)

My physical therapist recommended that I buy one of these because I have poor posture and she thought it would be a good idea to use it at my desk when I'm working. Unfortunately, Amazon sent me a used product. It had no product info, packaging, or anything - just the item in a plain plastic bag. Boo. I contacted the manufacturer and they have AMAZING customer service. Not only did they respond right away, but they also overnighted me a new product. They explained that Amazon fulfills their orders and never should have sent out what they did! That aside, the product is really nice. It takes some getting used to for sure. I think the hardest part for me is the part under my arms. I like the reminder to have correct posture - no question - but it is taking me a bit of time to adjust to having something under my arms. It's not uncomfortable, but you know it's there. I have been wearing it a lot at my desk particularly at the end of my work day when I tend to be tired of sitting and really slouch. Great product and highly recommend this company!

Love this band, it really makes you focus on sitting up, and the resistance exercises really help and are pretty challenging. With daily use and following the instructions, you can really feel and notice the difference. Make sure you don't lie to yourself and pick the wrong band based upon what weight you want to be or height you think you are etc.

I didn't know which ones to get because I wanted one for myself and one for my daughter so that we could do the exercises together. I got the Original medium posture brace for her, and I got the Large plus one for me. The plus means that the resistance of the surgical tubing that is used to create the product, is greater. I tried out my daughter's brace and my own and I could barely use the plus one. I'm just not strong enough. I consider myself to be a fairly strong woman. So unless you have been lifting weights and you are a really strong woman, I would suggest not getting the plus strength. Depending on your shoulder width and shirt size, you can either get a medium or a large original strength one. I usually wear a large size shirt, but as I've gotten older, my torso is getting smaller. So, I feel like the medium original is a good starting brace for me. I would guess that the large original brace would be a little easier to use and offer less resistance to me. The trick to making these braces successful, is getting the brace that is the right beginning size for you, and you might have to buy more than one of the braces in order to figure that out. But, it is worth the money to do that and you can always return one. Or you can order one that might be a little on the easier side and another one that you believe will be a bit harder, and then work into it. One thing I really feel strongly that the company should do, is make a DVD available with the product so that you can just put on the DVD and do the exercises with the person on the DVD. Without the DVD, you are looking on the internet, trying to remember what they said to do. And, if you don't have anybody at home to do the exercises with, it can provide a human support feeling to you exercise routine. You don't feel so alone. PostureMedic------Please create this DVD for your customers!! We need this! Great product for helping posture problems, but it has to be put to use by the one buying it. If there is NOTHING stopping the buyer from getting in there and doing the exercises, then you will have greater success! A DVD will make it so much more likely that the buyer will get in there and use the product.

I use this product to improve my posture. It reminds me to keep my shoulders back so that I don't hunch. Wearing it right now. LOL
