"Shoulders Back" Product - Comments on Effectiveness?

You mean me?? That and a balance ball and your posture would be perrrrrrfect.

The light version is a really soft thin mesh material and the straps are a softer material so it’s perfect for hot weather. Also, I used to use mine when I drove for long hours, and even wore it to work under my suit to help my back. I know people use if while gardening, doing housework, etc.

Katie16, my one client with the injury BEGAN using her ShouldersBack at work because the pain was at it’s worst when she was at her computer!! She would literally put it on and sigh in relief. Her Chiro AND her Doctor recommended she use it at work until the pain went away completely.
Apparently it was the little muscle group used to move the mouse back and forth while sitting at the computer that flared up from the injury. Helped her a lot!

Anyone wear Shoulders Back under shirt?

This thread is 10 years old… but I will say I bought one and wore it a week around the house. Saw no difference. Then I started training at the gym and I saw a difference almost immediately. After a month, my shoulders have progressed so much that I now drive my car with them back and down… and it feels comfortable. For me, it was all about learning to feel what is right… and how to engage my lats.

I found the Shoulders Back very uncomfortable. If you wear it next to your skin it digs, so you need a thin shirt. It looks like underwear, so I would wear a shirt over THAT… adds up to three layers, which are hot and besides the product didn’t work for me at all. For me it’s more helpful to focus on my posture on and off the horse as much as possible and I use a foam roller to stretch the pectoral muscles when they feel tight.

My daughter used the shoulders back thing before she started doing yoga. She had a dvd that was something like “Yoga for Posture.” It helped a lot over time. If your muscles are tight and weak it takes time to get them stretched out and strong enough to keep your shoulders back. Core strength matters for the shoulders too.
