PostureMedic Plus Strength Dynamic Posture Corrector for Athletes – High Resistance Training System for Performance & Recovery – Professional Grade Posture Trainer for Men & Women - Size S (Purple)

My physical therapist recommended that I buy one of these because I have poor posture and she thought it would be a good idea to use it at my desk when I'm working. Unfortunately, Amazon sent me a used product. It had no product info, packaging, or anything - just the item in a plain plastic bag. Boo. I contacted the manufacturer and they have AMAZING customer service. Not only did they respond right away, but they also overnighted me a new product. They explained that Amazon fulfills their orders and never should have sent out what they did! That aside, the product is really nice. It takes some getting used to for sure. I think the hardest part for me is the part under my arms. I like the reminder to have correct posture - no question - but it is taking me a bit of time to adjust to having something under my arms. It's not uncomfortable, but you know it's there. I have been wearing it a lot at my desk particularly at the end of my work day when I tend to be tired of sitting and really slouch. Great product and highly recommend this company!

My husband and I have been using these for the last 10 years or so. We both spend way too many hours at a desk and this is one of several things we do to counteract the negative effects of so much sitting. If you use it regularly, it will help you have better posture, not feel so tight in the shoulders and neck- and for my husband, it's reduced his tension headaches significantly.

TLDR: Would not purchase this product unless you are okay with paying $14 shipping every time a replacement is needed. I initially purchased this product in June of 23, and it started to fall apart after a few months of use. The foam handles are extremely delicate and have zero reinforcement. I contacted the company and asked for a replacement, and they sent one without hesitation. However, after another few months, I ran into the exact same issue. I only use this to do pull aparts (as described in the manual) a few times a week when my back is aching at work. Upon contacting the company regarding another replacement, my message was forwarded to the president of the company when I questioned why they were wanting me to pay $14 to ship a product that clearly has a defect and a supposed 'lifetime warranty'. I will post the response I received below - I am not sure why he is making references to rubber, as the issue I am having is with the foam handles. They clearly have zero plans to improve the product or even investigate the issue, and I am blown away at such a response directly from the president regarding such a simple inquiry. Note: my original review was removed, I think for including the email addresses and names of the owner, hence the redaction: Please see below from the President. Hey ---, he bought the first one in June and it lasted until November, then we sent him a new one and it's lasted till now February. Our replacement policy takes consideration for general wear and tear and we are happy to replace his unit, but he MUST pay the shipping fee. Or he can swing by the office and we will give it to him. Furthermore, I have to buy new sneakers every 3 months, and new tires for my car every other year. All rubber products eventually wear out, and instead of us insisting that they go buy a new one at full retail, like I have to with my sneakers, tires,and every single other product that I have ever purchased. We are willing to eat the cost of the product but he must pay for shipping. Our replacement policy is unheard of in any category and at this point, if it is not good enough, then he will have to purchase a brand new one from Amazon, our website, or one of our thousands of chiropractors that offer the product. Additionally, we have been in operations for 12 years now, sold over 500,000 units and this is the ONLY person burning through these products so fast. My question is what is he doing with the product other than what is recommended? Since there's no way for us to ensure proper use, again, we are happy to send a replacement but he must pay the shipping fee. Period. Have a nice day.

I am 5'2", 115 lbs, I ordered/received small first, based on the size chart, way too small/tight. I then ordered medium, same result as small. I got the large today, it feels pretty good. This one I can keep and use. It is pricier than other manufactures but the straps on the other styles are uncomfortable under your arms, this one is very doable.

Works great. I have a pain clinic and I recommend these to my clients who have posture issues. I use them myself to maintain my excellent posture. just make sure that it's the right size and not too loose or too tight.

My chiro did not suggest posture corrector but I was in pain and wanted to try these stronger elastic ones. The good, it is nice and strong and pulls back the shoulders pretty well. The bad, what about the neck? In sure I was sitting funny or was not paying attention to my neck with my shoulders pulled back while doing computer work. FyI

It hurts when you wear it

Purchased and used after I "Graduated" from "Yellow" beginner brace. Liked - guide for stretching and exercises included in box. Disliked - my hair would get caught in brace. If you have long hair "learn to put it up and off your shoulders" I tried other braces and the elastic either rolled up under breast / mid back area or strangled me. The brace is effective because of the gentle tug in front of your shoulders to remind you to correct posture. Just stop slouching. Slouching makes you look old. Slouching makes your clothes hang poorly on your body. Did you ever look at your profile in a window? You look old and for a second you correct posture...

I've been using the correct size (L) for my build, twice per day for 20 mins for a week, and already I'm feeling less strain keeping my back straight. My business keeps me at the computer 7-11 hours per day x 6 days/week on average studying 4 monitors. This causes me to hunch forward. So I wear the device at the computer mostly, and it doesn't interfere with the chair back. I see it as a long term process, wearing it more according to the clear instructions. The key is to get the correct size for your build and be self-disciplined about wearing it ;)

Love this band, it really makes you focus on sitting up, and the resistance exercises really help and are pretty challenging. With daily use and following the instructions, you can really feel and notice the difference. Make sure you don't lie to yourself and pick the wrong band based upon what weight you want to be or height you think you are etc.

I use this product to improve my posture. It reminds me to keep my shoulders back so that I don't hunch. Wearing it right now. LOL

Don't expect that the PostureMedic will help you with just wearing it all day. You have to follow exercises suggested in the box as well but it's somewhat better than not wearing it at all..
