Dr. Arthritis Doctor Developed Posture Support/Posture Correct/Stabilizer/Back Brace & Handbook - Fully Adjustable for Upper & Lower Back Pain. Suitable for Men & Women (Black, M)

I ordered this because I tend to slump more when stressed and tired and because it came with exercises. This is the greatest company and I have purchased many of their products and find them extremely well made and beneficial for my physical problems with my knee and elbow. And to my great delight they come in PINK and I get a lot of compliments on my supports. All their products I have are well thought out, very comfortable, with pertinent exercises and are designed by medical experts. Their catalog is well worth checking out......AND very, very reasonably priced for the quality. The back support is perfect and I waited years to find this very special one!!

I can’t figure out how to put it on. Is it just supposed to fit like a loose vest? Because that’s how it fits. I’m not sure how it’s supposed to correct anything when it doesn’t have at least a little pressure and is not “fitted” at all. It didn’t even come in a box or w an instruction manual (which it says it’s supposed to have). I’m not even sure I’m wearing it correctly. Sending it back. Don’t know why I bothered.

The product itself is very easy to use, however the style and usefulness of this was not what i expected. I was hoping i could wear this under my clothes/scrubs for work but it doesn’t feel well sitting directly on my skin on top of clothes feels clunky. It does help relieve pain however. It’s just not as practical as i imagined it to be. To wear at home and around in private, this is a good product!

I've had this for about 3 weeks now and my overall feel for this product is that it's nice to wear during the workday as I work at home all day, but I don't think I'd wear this to work or under my shirt. I wear this while I work during the day and it's an excellent reminder to not lean forward to type--just scoot closer to the desk then type. I think that aspect of wearing this product is very good.I give it 4 stars because on the other hand, it's decently comfortable and I tried wearing this under my shirt on a ~3 mile run and I didn't really feel support from it and it gave me a rash. I also wore this over my shirt on a 2 or 3 hour walk / hike with some friends, but I didn't really feel support from it yet again. So, overall I like this for working from home, but I would not wear this outside. Also, it kind of makes me want to get something heavier duty. So I like the concept of this product but I may like a heavier duty one rather than this one, but once again for working at home it's nice--but lacking comfort. I think I could wear this to the office but I wouldn't wear this under my shirt I'd wear two shirts and put it underneath the 2nd one.

This is a good product if you have some shoulder pain, but it isn't supportive enough for back problems.

This is my 3rd posture corrector.I've been targeting the $15 products and this is the best I've gotten so far. I figured I'd like to keep these in a few different places (work, car, home) and used the opportunity to try a few different ones.I felt that this one was the most comfortable and discrete. The cushion along the spine was great and the straps over the shoulders were a good width too. The straps to tighten the device were kind of like seatbelt-woven material - just not as wide. It was a classy touch and was thick enough to withstand buckling (with the tightness I used). My other ones would be uncomfortable in the armpits with thin straps or was thick enough to buckle/bunch up and make my underarms warmer. Of course, using it as something to keep your back completely straight vs. something to reduce the hunching of your shoulders will dictate how tight you make the straps and how well/poorly the underarm straps perform.One thing I noticed while using this was that I was hunching from my lumbar section (which this does not help with). I have another that goes around my midsection to address this but is the difference between wearing a jacket and zipping up the jacket (if you don't want people to see you wearing it).This one seemed easy enough to identify which way to put it on (vs inside-out/upside-down) and easy to put on too. The hook-loop fastener isn't super sticky so it's not really loud when adjusting it and is strong enough to hold your shoulders back.This likely won't be my last posture corrector (I have one that I would rather replace) and although I am curious to how the ~$25 ones perform, I am skeptical if it will be worth the 60% increase in price - especially since I am satisfied with this one.

I wish I had tried this earlier. I didn't realize i was past the window of return. This posture corrector does nothing. I tried to adjust it several ways. I tried to wear it all day to see if it could actually be adjusted. When adjusting the straps it just rides higher and higher on the back. It does not keep your posture upright at all. There is no way to fix this to ensure that it stays lower on the back so your shoulders pull back. It is absoluteley a waste of money. I wish I could return it.

As soon as I started wearing the Dr. Arthritis Posture Support, I couldn't believe how much better I felt! I could breathe much easier, and my constant shoulder and rib pain were greatly reduced. And with continued wear, my pain relief continued to improve. But, the best part is that after wearing the Support for only a short time, my posture without it is unbelievably better because it trained my body to feel what good posture is. And, if I notice that I'm starting to slouch, all I have to do is wear the Support again to remind my body of what good posture feels like. I just can't say enough about the "magic bullet" effects of this Support, plus it's really pretty, easy to adjust, comfortable to wear and inexpensive. Thanks again, Dr. Arthritis, for another wonderful product and accompanying doctor written handbook.
