IT'S GOOD - REALLY GOOD.
By Chelseael on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2019
I'm really impressed and VERY relieved! I have had bilateral hip replacements, a knee replacement, have current and have serious orthopedic problems with my neck & back due to additional, serious bone problems with my right foot --- all of which has made me favor one side over the other, messing heavily with my gait and balance. Broke my collar bone in two places long ago as well. ALL OF THIS HAVE WREAKED HAVOC ON MY NECK AND UNDER MY RIGHT SHOULDER BLADE. There is some pain but ALWAYS "radical discomfort", if you know what I mean. I've been limping (or compensating), with one side & my head is now actually "listing to left". It's hard to straighten my back properly anymore and this brace is a wonderful tool. It fairly gently (but with a corrective pull) reminds me to keep my head up, to keep my shoulders BACK - a big part of the problem - and to not hunch when at the computer, doing dishes, and just walking. I wear it as many hours as I can at home and want to start using it when walking with my walker (when I have to shop & carry heavy stuff on it) so I don't hunch then. On me, the brace is NOT invisible under clothing. I get a bunch. Not sure why. It is easy as can be to put on and adjust. I'm thinking it is not just providing pain & discomfort relief, but IS in some measure corrective too. I will continue with physical therapy with the enhancement of this wonderful brace and hope for permanent results.

It has potential but it is not worth the extra money when compared to other similar products.
By Rusty Lee on Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2019
I had very high hopes for this product. Based on the positive reviews, I just knew that the tightness in my shoulders and upper back would be relieved. I teach classes online every day of the week sometimes up to six hours at a time. Due to this type of working environment, it is no wonder why I experience shoulder and upper back stiffness and pain. This device is more or less designed like a woman's bra without the front. Going into this I knew that it would be awkward using, but manageable. Putting it on is very easy and my immediate response was "wow, this is going to work." It definitely brings your shoulders back in place, once the straps are adjusted. It took less than five minutes to realize this device is probably not going to be for me. Initially, sitting at my desk it feels great. After several minutes of moving, typing, and using the mouse the back support begins to rise up my back. I have to pull the straps up and back to put it back into place. That sounds simple enough; however, when I am teaching online via video and my student sees me tugging at my shirt like my bra straps are sliding that is a problem as I am a man; but even a woman should not have to pull up on something that should be a support. In the attached picture, the strap can be seen bucking under my shirt. This brings up another problem; this device cannot be worn in public unnoticed because of the buckling. If it where just the straps being revealed, I could deal with the odd looks that I get, but not from the buckling. I believe this product has great potential if it could only have a way to not rise during use. People that work behind a desk all day need something to assist with the ergonomics of the job. I purposely bought this because it was more expensive because I thought the company saw the value in this and it was more superior than the others. Had I know this would have bunched up in the back, I would have never purchased it.
