I sit at a computer several hours a day. Will this brace promote better posture?

No it its not made very well you would be disappointed if you purchased this.

i am no expert but I surmise it will....because your shoulder will be positioned as you like it which should promote better posture. The brace is an individualized matter as witnessed by the other answers to this question. I can only say it has worked for me and has allowed me to continue activities that I could not have without it. However, posture was not my problem. In my opinion, I do not believe you will be sad you purchased the brace.

I don't think the shoulder brace would help with your posture. I would try a brace for lower back for that issue. This brace really relieves shoulder joint and rotator cuff pain for me.

For average size folks it might. I am a pretty large man and this did not have the benefit that I needed. I returned it to Amazon and got another and that seems to help a little.

No, I don't think so. It may make you more aware so that you can adjust your posture. It's main purpose is to hold the magnets over your shoulder area. It's more about healing than posture.

I really do believe that this helps with correcting forward head posture. I had xrays done about 3 months apart from the time I started using this product and chiropractic care along with some physical therapy to strengthen muscles back in the neck area. My neck went from a forward curve to visibly straight on the xrays and I am willing to bet it will keep on going with more use. If you use this and work on maintaining correct posture while sitting, I think that it definitely helps. But make sure to try to work on it everyday

Yes, but you will have to observe whether the brace will be equally effective for you.

I was told is is an aid to do so, however more work on your end is needed to continue being aware of posture Ll the rest of the time.

I think so-- the flexible neck makes it able to be positioned in various ways. For example, we have it to the side of the computer to shine on the keyboard without glare on the screen and it does that effectively.

It is more of a gentle reminder than a brace so would be better for a child than waiting for further posture problems or a hard brace BUT, and this is a big one... The only thing that helps keep it in place across the chest straps is (pardon me) BOOBS. An 11 year old might find it less supportive and difficult to keep in place correctly.

Yes, I currently use it for the purpose of a chair instead of a computer chair. But I would keep your current office chair handy for the first few days until you are comfortable sitting in it all the time. I never use my computer chair anymore and sit on this all day, feels great.

You would need help. I don't recommend this product I want to return it it does not help with my posture

It doesn't correct posture permanently, it only helps. So I use it when my back is hurting to help. I will say it's the best one on the market. It just helps you from not hunching over.

Yea it barely tilts back I think it's suppose to help you have good posture

It probably would if I used it to do exercises to strengthen my core but since I use it at work and tend to focus on what I need to accomplish so I haven't seen anything that would say my core is better. Of course, it might be worse if I hadn't been using the chair. My advice would be to use the chair with targeted exercises for your core. It has helped in the area of improving neck and back strain however.

Yes...It is great ..my chiropractor recommended that I get something to support my legs while at my desk. It has been great for my back.

Sorry I cannot give an honest answer since I have only worn it for 3 or 4 hours at a time. I can say it is more supportive and more comfortable than my DonJoy brace that is similar.

Not familiar with the other products but this product keeps me concentrating on posturecomfortably.

You can, but it would be very, very uncomfortable. Also, it really would not affect your posture while sleeping. Your muscles are going to go where they want regardless of the gentle reminder from this back brace. Give yourself a break and put it on again in the morning. Your armpits will thank you. :)

Yes, you may wear it comfortably under your clothes with very little discomfort while walking or sitting on a chair. However, It does put in some limitations when you bend all the way down which is kind of normal with any type of solid back brace.
