Recommended brands of posture correctors

For teenagers who want to prevent hunchback, choose Lovo; for office workers who are sedentary, choose Love; for those who want concealment and lightweight, choose Japanese MTG; for those with medical needs such as spinal injuries and scoliosis, choose Corfu; for children with mild scoliosis, follow the doctor's advice and choose Jiaozheng.

I worked on a project for three months in the past two years, and the shoulder height difference was almost 2 centimeters. When I wore a T-shirt, the shoulder lines on both sides were crooked. I tried three or four orthotics before and after, and talked with orthopedic surgeons and fitness coaches. Only then did I realize that the more expensive the better, the different brands are very different in terms of suitable fit groups. Oh, by the way, there is a lot of quarrel on the Internet now. Some people say that braces are all about IQ tax, and they will make your muscles dull after wearing them for a long time. Some people say that their hunchback is really cured after wearing them for three months. I specifically asked my classmate in the Department of Orthopedics at a tertiary hospital, and he said that both of them are correct - they are completely dependent on braces. If the machine does not exert force on its own, disuse muscle atrophy will indeed occur, but if you just use it as an "external force reminder" to help you break the wrong force exertion habits accumulated for more than ten years, coupled with appropriate shoulder and back training, the effect will be much faster than forcing yourself to carry it. There is no need to be black and white.

Speaking of which, everyone’s impression of good backs may still be the kind of suffocating style worn by parents when they were children? I just bought the new youth style for my cousin who is in the second year of high school. She does her homework until 12 o'clock every day, and she is almost buried in the exercise book. She refused to wear the braces no matter what she said before, and made jokes about her classmates. This model is made of mesh and has wide shoulder straps to reduce pressure. She can't see it under the school uniform, and it won't cause chest pain. She has been wearing it for more than two months now. At the parent-teacher meeting last week, her mother said that she can sit up straight for a long time without being reminded. But a word of warning, don't buy the pirated ones that cost tens of dollars, it will really hurt your ribs, and don't wear them for more than 2 hours a day. Just wear them when doing homework, don't wear them when going out to play.

I always keep Love's posture-correcting straps at my workstation. I bought them cheaply for 9.9 with free shipping. I pulled my shoulders back and broke them. After wearing them for a day, my shoulders were so sore that I couldn't lift them up, so I threw them away. The support point of Love's model is between the waist and shoulder blades. It doesn't pull your shoulders hard. When you hunch your back, there will be a soft resistance to remind you to sit up straight. I wear it when I have a long meeting of two or three hours, and it doesn't feel boring at all. I have been wearing it for almost half a year now, and I don't unconsciously push my shoulders forward when fishing. It is very cost-effective, costing more than 200 yuan. It is suitable for office workers like me who can't change their hunchback after sitting for a long time. The only small drawback is that it can be a bit stuffy when worn close to the body in the summer. I usually wear it when the air conditioner is on in the office, otherwise I use their posture correction cushion, which can support my waist even when I lean on the back of a chair.

My best friend, who works as Party B, often meets clients. She thinks ordinary posture-correcting belts are too ugly and have a lump when wearing a suit. Last year, she bought a lightweight posture-correcting belt from Japan's MTG. It weighs about the same as an AirPods Pro. It is as thin as a layer of gauze and cannot be seen under a shirt. She saw clients wearing it for a whole day and no one noticed. However, the support of this model is relatively weak, so it is only suitable for people who are not severely hunched, but just need something to remind them not to slump. If you already have obvious rounded shoulders or high and low shoulders, this model is not strong enough to support you, and the price is not cheap at almost 400 yuan. If you are not on a budget, there is no need to rush.

If you have been diagnosed with scoliosis, lumbar herniation, or you have severe low back pain, don’t buy ordinary models, go directly to Corfu’s medical-grade posture correction belt. My former colleague had a lumbar herniation, and the doctor asked him to buy this one. It comes with adjustable steel plate support, which can firmly support the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae, but this Don't wear it randomly on your own. You must follow the doctor's advice to choose the model and control the wearing time. My colleague didn't understand it at first and wore it every day. After wearing it for half a month, his waist became boring. Later, the doctor asked him to only wear it for one hour a day. Wear it when it hurts. When it doesn't hurt, take it off and practice Xiaoyanfei, and then he slowly recovered. There is also a product for children with mild scoliosis. This product must be customized under the guidance of a doctor. Do not buy it blindly, otherwise it will aggravate the scoliosis.

Finally, to be honest, don’t expect that wearing an orthotic device will cure the hunchback that has lasted for more than ten years. I still practice shoulder opening exercises for 15 minutes two nights a week, and with the reminder of the orthotic device, I can regain my high and low shoulders. If I wear an orthotic device and it becomes paralyzed, it is really an IQ tax, so it is better not to buy it. When choosing, don’t blindly follow the recommendations of Internet celebrities. First, find out whether you just want to change your bad habit of sitting for a long time, or if you already have pathological problems. Just choose according to your needs.
