Modetro Sports Back Brace Posture Corrector – Large, Upper Back Support Posture Brace for Men and Women - Unisex, Shoulder and Spine Support for Physical Therapy – Black

Back and neck pain are very unique issues and not all should be approached the same way. In my particular case this product provided me with immediate relief and gently forces me to take a correct posture via the support it offers. I have had similar products that really bothered me (causing pain and discomfort). The only reason I only rate 3 stars on Comfort is because, while sitting (especially driving), it tends to move a bit high on the back hitting me right where the neck meets the dorsal and it causes some discomfort - I repeat - only when sitting (and I now use a standing desk so, for most of the day, it's marvellous). I have found a workaround which is to use it upside down and this helps. I wear it for most part of the day and find it very positive. I hesitated reading some previous reviews referring to lack of quality - no such thing. It gets worn and deforms a bit under the armpit but that is better than being hard and hurting. I purchased a second unit for my kid and will probably purchase a third for my wife and will, definitely, purchase as many as I may need in the future in case this one gets worn out. Definitely worth the money. Great (and I mean GREAT) support from the Modetro Sports that follow-up on the purchase not really interested in commercial aspects but focusing on how well I've adapted. Very good user-friendly documentation. Excellent example. All positive. Do not hesitate.

Ok so I don't review products very often but as you're about to find out I'm very candid in my review. The product itself is very sturdy and the Velcro strapping, like all product from new, is good. Only time will tell on how long the Velcro lastes since it always ends up with carpet, dog, cat, snake and child fluff all inter-twined within it! The other material is like a "breathable" wetsuit type material. Needless to say it becomes less "breathable" when your running for the 16:47 train to Gatwick from London Bridge and ends up more of a back sauna. So the instructions you get are basically a drawing of someone with swollen armpits. And if this happens i recommend seeking medical advice and possibly changing your deodorant. The picture states if this happens your shoulders aren't back enough. However I made a point of thrusting my shoulders toward the centre of my back for the first few days I wore it, needless to say people thought I was having some sort of episode. This still did not stop the inflammation of my armpits. Baffled, I tried the straps tighter for a day then looser the next but the pit burn continued. I read other reviews and found that this was a common side effect for great posture. I put it down to the rough side of the Velcro position being right on your sweat-crevice! After about a week I decided enough is enough I wanted a great posture without the pit-burn! So I looked at the product from all angles and spent many hours in a think tank room of inspiration sitting on a throne of thought. After flushing my throne, I realised that right way up or upside down the product ergonomics are the same! So I upturned the device and set the straps to a medium tight and put it on like a skinny waistcoat. Immediately i was at a comfort level of 9, previously only living at comfort basement flat no 3. The Velcro had all but disappeared, no scratchy nagging mosquito bites in my Lynx department. After a day of use the straps overall needed a touch of loosening but then I could just throw it on, no issues. I've now worn the product for a few weeks and I'm not going to say any typical cliches about how amazing it is, life changing etc....it is. Because put simply it is an alarm clock. What, has this reviewer gone posture mad? No, it is An alarm clock, keep with me here. You know u need to wake up feed the dog, walk the kids and get your money making arse to work right? So you have an alarm clock to remind you to do this, correct, all be it probably a smart phone. Your body knows you should have a better posture and how to achieve this and this device reminds you that it's you alone that can make it happen. The device reminds you that your body needs to be straight and to straighten up. It does not hold you in position as some people expect. The afor mentioned "reminder" relies on your own muscles to do said straightening, which, if like mine, due many hours hunched over an information light box of pixelated hell, haven't been used for a while and do ache like a mother. Like a lot of less-used muscles, if suddenly used they burn like a hot poker to the spine! This eases up after a while and the more u use the less they burn. I hope this has helped your decision on your posture correction choices. No fifth star simply due to the Velcro rash. To use thus product without pit pain, simply turn it upside down, set the straps and slide on. If it's too tight , loosen and repeat!

If you want to do the robot dance flawlessly, this is for you. While it held my upper back up straight, I felt and noticed that my posture shifted to my lower back. This is more so a product to keep your shoulders back rather than keep your entire posture straight, and while yes I do normally sit up straight, it’s uncomfortable as it changes what you’re used to. If you have larger breasts I felt it shifted the weight. I noticed after where it for long, I had lower back pain and stiffness Good for sitting at a desk but don’t recommend wearing while walking around normal day

I don't often leave reviews but on this occasion I'm making an exception. I have suffered from incorrect thoracic posture for many years due to being slumped over a computer as part of my job role as a Sales Manager. A few years ago I had a career change and studied and qualified as a Personal Trainer. I now PT from one of the UK's leading Gym studios. I also participate in many sports related activities. It would be fair to say that im an extremely active guy. I ordered this posture correcter with a very open mind (although to be honest I did question what results that it would achieve). The results so far........ THIS PRODUCT DOES EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED AND INTENDED!! I am genuinely over the moon with how much my posture has improved and still continues to do so. Aside from the above the other reason that I decided so make this review was based on the customer service. I was contacted by the customer service team to make sure that I received the product on time and that i was happy with the product. This was the first time that this had happen from a supplier (and I order many many products from Amazon) If you suffer from the same issue as I did with your posture please give this product a try. Its great value for money but more importantly you will see and feel the results In a very short period of time. First time I given a 5 star rating! Thank you Modetro Retail LTD!!

Very painful under the arms if pulled tight enough to help the shoulders.

Really impressed with this. Using it for an hour a day sat at the pc. Posture feels better. A long process to correct years of slouching, but this is helping. Easy to fit and use.

As a big guy with a 48inch (122cm) chest measurement I found the back brace a little painfull to wear mainly due to the narrow straps that passed under my arm pits and cut in very tight and left me felling sore, unlike some others that I also tried that were meant for large person such as myself and had wider and softer straps that passed under my arms

Not bad, i thought it was elasticated (its not). It serves as a useful reminder to pull shoulders back so useful for that.
