I have terrible back posture. Will this help me sit up properly?

It helped me. My posture was horrible. It felt very uncomfortable at first but it forced me to sit up and back straight. After a month I started to get used to sitting in a straighter position. I still use it one year later. I definitely recommend this product.

Definitely! I too have terrible posture, which was also a contributing factor to my back pain at work, this device will help you with maintaining a proper posture.

It *really* depends on the reason for your lower back pain. If you have compressed vertebrae, or bad posture, I'm not sure this pillow would help. You might benefit more from a lumbar cushion than a coccyx cushion. As with any medical advice, check with your doctor first.

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.

Hi Michael Honestly, I didn't find this worked for me. It was not the first posture guide I have ever used, and hoped it would help, as it is different from others I had tried. I still found myself hunched over. It didn't take very long for me to get used to the feeling of the tugging and was not a problem for me. I got used to ite

I bought this for my mom who was having back problems. It takes little effort to come up. No sit up needed. Just a slight shift in weight. There was also a strap if I recall, your earn could help also

Yes! my husband says his posture is better and that he's actually working muscles he couldn't before. Great buy!

I don't have that problem so I couldn't tell you on that. But it does give me relief to my lower back. You can always try one at stores that have them displayed or a friend that has one. But I would check with your Dr before you do it to be sure it is ok with your back problem

That depends on a lot of things, do you always sit up straight if not you of course will have to make adjustments while the chair is built for comfort it's shaped to keep you upright making you sit straight or slump, I would buy it again.

Yes, I have found that the brace helps with posture - I have issues with a bad shoulder and the brace helps hold it in place in addition to forcing my overall posture to be better. What discomfort complaints are you referring to? For me, the straps rub the front of my armpits which can be uncomfortable.

Kevin, so far I have had no problems, just good results. I have scoliosis pretty bad, and between physical therapy and using this lumbar support, I feel that it has helped me a great deal. After so many years of poor posture, this reminds me to sit straight. I hope this does well for you.

I have the same problem. I am an "hourglass" shaped woman, 147 lbs, and my butt and legs spill over the edges of the Backjoy posture relief, which doesn't allow me to use it properly. Did you find something that does work for you? I like the concept and think it could help... at a larger size!

The back rest is good, I don't feel uncomfortable leaning back at all. It gives me a little break from keeping my posture super straight.

Hi Yousef - it's helpful for lower back pain. I used to have pain from driving. My physical therapist showed me I was driving way too far away from the steering wheel. Your hands should be at the 4:00 and 8:00 o'clock positions, believe it or not. A few sessions with a physical therapist and a personal trainer to strengthen muscles which will get your posture where it should be would work way better than this TENS unit. That's my advice.

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

It should be positioned so your pelvis is tilted slightly forward, unless you have a herniated disc. In which case, the chair won't help with your back problems, and might even aggravate them. With the forward pelvic tilt, your spine should feel both straight and relaxed.

Yes it is. It can help support your back if you have trouble maintaining the posture without support. But I would like to add that when i sit on this chair, I can feel the metal frame to some degree through the cushioning and this takes away from the comfort it provides. It is not painful or anything... but rather a hindrance for sitting on it for a long periods of time.

I have just bought this device about 2 weeks ago. I use it when I know I will slouch. It reminds me to stand straight. I have bad posture for 30 years and I do not think I will be cured overnight. The good news is that my support is very comfortable and easy to use.
