Braceability Posture Support Review
I am an active human that has scoliosis (a curve from left right if you are looking at me from behind) as well as occasional back pain. Most of the pain is brought on by a combination of poor sleeping positions and weightlifting with bad form. I like to think that I generally have good form, but when muscles start to fatigue, form crumbles a little easier. It takes a bit more focus & dedication to maintain it when you’re tired.
Anyways, this brace is something that is really helping me in regards to pain relief. In addition to my occasionally poor movement patterns, I have pretty poor posture most of the time. My chest is concave and my shoulders are forward. Ideally, my scapulas and upper back would be engaged, drawing the shoulders back. The chest would be sticking out, slightly–and the neck in a neutral position.
Sidenote: the brace is also designed to help support a broken collar bone, even though that was not my particular need.

What I like about this brace is that it keeps you in this optimal position. I see this brace as something that I may wear around the house just to help retrain myself to have better posture. I know how important having good posture is for spine health, but I have allowed myself to develop a habit of less than awesome posture. You could also wear this during exercise. Keep in mind, it will limit your range of motion in certain positions.
The design is simple, easy to assemble, put on and is very comfortable when you get the straps adjusted correctly. It reminds you very quickly how bad your posture is! (or at least it did that for me). It serves as a healthy guide & reminder to stand up straighter with your shoulders back and chest out.
I don’t see it as an absolute necessity, but I think it’s a good product for what it is designed for. Athletes or even inactive individuals alike could benefit from this Figure-8 Posture Support BraceAbility.
