Poor posture: Is there a pair out there that could help?
I am very tall and had bad posture since I was a kid. My shoulders are slightly rounded all slumped. I try to sit upright as often as possible, but I need the initial support. Does anyone know of a good posture correcting brace I could try? Thank you!
One thing you can do is cheap is to get a club band and use it on your back. What you do is sit up nice and your shoulders back and have someone put one piece of ribbon to the shoulder blade of the scapula and a band in the back of the neck to mid back. So if you slouch before you pull band and this forces the muscles to correct your posture. It will strengthen your postural muscles so that you can keep a better posture. You probably will tolerate this for an hour or two at first, but in a few weeks, you should be able to tolerate several hours ... Finally, you will not need the band and have really good posture. If you rely on a pair of holding your posture, you will never wear the brace b / c the muscles to be strong to hold your posture. Another suggestion is to see a physiotherapist to show you exercises to strengthen your postural muscles.
