"When I sat at my desk this morning, I couldn't slouch over the keyboard like I usually do. As much as I tried to hunch over, my back was held straight, shoulders pulled back. My trick? I was wearing a corset-like device with straps over my shoulders that forced me into an upright position. Posture correctors claim to provide instant improvement in posture and relieve the back, shoulder and chest pain often associated with poor posture, if worn long term."
"The one I have on, Vicorrect (29.99), is one of many on the market Lidl's budget posture trainer (7.99) is now sold out; Taylor Swift has been spotted wearing a sports-bra version by Forme (140). I have a history of bad posture. I usually spend more than eight hours a day working on a laptop sometimes at my home desk with an adjustable office chair and external monitors, but also on the sofa, at the dining table or even in bed."
A corset-like device with shoulder straps forces an upright position and can produce an instant improvement in posture. Posture correctors claim to relieve back, shoulder and chest pain associated with poor posture if worn long term. Models range from budget trainers to higher-end sports-bra styles. Prolonged laptop work and varied makeshift work positions commonly produce tight shoulders, neck and back pain. A physiotherapist advises that posture devices are not standalone solutions, recommends limited short-term use, and emphasizes traditional posture alignment and regular position changes to avoid reliance on a brace.
