    No it will create a good habit and help you practice sitting upright. It does matter because you can and will develop a hunch in your back if you sit a certain way sleep a certain way hunch over over time

    i am a bra creator, specialising in large and XL busts, and I’m wondering if you thought some very light posture braces, but not a full on one, just some lighter elatics in those areas could be helpful to improve posture and back pain for heavy busts? I would of course consult a physician about how to implement it exactly, but i’m wondering what your or anyone on here’s thoughts are? thanks!

  3. @MarxistClownism on January 11, 2025 at 7:00 pm

    Hey I have scoliosis and my back hurts every single day..I’m in the market for back brace to help take away a bit of the pain. What on your recommendations for that type of problem??

  13. @whitakermarisa on January 11, 2025 at 7:14 pm

    Could I wear this in my working environment? I have to be on my feet all day and I fear my posture is suffering. 6 – 8 hour shifts.

  18. @gloriatandal4692 on January 11, 2025 at 7:19 pm

    I had surgery done on my shoulder 8 mos ago & now I’m getting pinched nerves running down that arm each time I lean fwd, bend down or whenever not sitting/standing straight. I notice that placing my shoulder backwards, it stops or prevents pinched nerve cycle. Is there a brace that can pull or keep shoulder backwards?

  19. @itsprivate3061 on January 11, 2025 at 7:21 pm

    they work better than not wearing them at all, but unless you make a conscious effort you probably will return back to bad posture if you dont have the discipline to keep doing it, its not like they going to bend up your spine into the correct form to fix it permanently

  20. @rashaka9455 on January 11, 2025 at 7:24 pm

    I need something for scapula winging brace

  21. @adithyan1826 on January 11, 2025 at 7:25 pm

    Hi Tim ..!
    I’m a professional who used to sit in front of my laptop for 5 to 6 hrs per day and I’m suffering from Kyphosis. Kindly suggest a best posture corrector to get better.

  22. @Teisharocz on January 11, 2025 at 7:27 pm

    It’s about gaming…. for hours….???❤

  23. @juicefiveone on January 11, 2025 at 7:27 pm

    Hey Tim! What are the scap exercises you reference 3:11 ?

  24. @chadr4013 on January 11, 2025 at 7:28 pm

    Not even close. Been wearing one for years and I still have terrible posture n hunch.

  25. @Syahburei on January 11, 2025 at 7:29 pm

    What if you are already having rounded shoulders posture? Should i get a posture brace?

  26. @OOoKarmaoOO on January 11, 2025 at 7:32 pm

  27. @ksk5517 on January 11, 2025 at 7:32 pm

    The worst thing about the posture brace is the chiropractors trying to criticize them (bad advice quacks).

  28. @Wolfie.22 on January 11, 2025 at 7:32 pm

    What If you did exercise with one of these on… would that do…

  29. @ilynn9794 on January 11, 2025 at 7:34 pm

  30. @cheyenne1524 on January 11, 2025 at 7:36 pm

    My back is a weird shape. I always been super self conscious about it and I wanna fix it so bad, it’s like an s shape and nobody I know has that type of back. How do I fix it!!

  31. @Teisharocz on January 11, 2025 at 7:37 pm

  32. @BeastmodeA7X on January 11, 2025 at 7:38 pm

    i have scoliosis and the brace i have helps big time better than anything else i’ve tried

  33. @do9138 on January 11, 2025 at 7:41 pm

    SPEAK ENGLISH PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND. WE DON’T ALL SPEAK PHYSICAL THERAPEASE. We aren’t here to be "impressed" by your vocabulary. Of course you would advise against these. Your salary depends on our wasting an hour a week in physical therapy. That didn’t help my muscle spasms, either, but it cost a lot more money. Notice you brag that the study supports what you do. You try being old and confined to a wheelchair and see how often you want to call Uber Assist and wheel your way everywhere to deal with a bunch of "healthcare" BS that does NOTHING.

  34. @timwatts8186 on January 11, 2025 at 7:41 pm

    Where is the link to the video about correcting forward head and rounded shoulders?

  35. @Charlie_Chicago on January 11, 2025 at 7:42 pm

    Those Chinese factory assembled "braces" in Amazon or not even close to the braves tested on athletes. They have to be custom made for the person or that will actually damage your spine. I’m 44 man, I’ve seen 8 million of you in my life. Knock it off, you’re giving people stats on something they can’t get on Amazon.

  36. @sdsartor1942 on January 11, 2025 at 7:43 pm

    I use an elastic band to work out with and it helped me when I threw out my back wrestling

  37. @jthe2ndd on January 11, 2025 at 7:44 pm

    I started using the posture corrector but the one you also need to strap the waste for about 10 months. They always told me it just a reminder to keep your shoulders back. Now I can feel the change on my shoulders and back. My chest is out and my posture looks and feels so much better ! So yes i recommend to use a posture corrector but try to use it consistently. I use this only when i work.

  38. @omarnaser8291 on January 11, 2025 at 7:47 pm

    whats about back straightener for Duchenne muscular dystrophy

  39. @TheWackler on January 11, 2025 at 7:47 pm

    Do you have anything for WAD? Or PCS ? Any reccomendation for cervical problems and fixing posture

  40. @josemiguelvillaltasorto1495 on January 11, 2025 at 7:49 pm

    🤩 🤩

  41. @MultiMyNickName on January 11, 2025 at 7:49 pm

    Not needed. I had very bad posture about 1.5 years ago, rolled shoulders inwards and curved neck and spine. I now have near perfect posture. I started with yoga sessions which helped, painfully, stretch out the pecs and correct the shoulder pull but even then the position was never natural until i developed the back strength to hold it naturally. The reality is you have to be able to get the position and then be able to naturally effortlessly sustain it and yes that’s very possible. What feels awkward and requires effort at the start, will ultimately become natural, using braces wont strengthen the muscles and its not about just getting the position if you dont have the muscles at the back to hold it, its pointless you will be sore and tired all day trying to keep position. You have to make it natural.

    Geez a minute in and I already feel like it’d a video about a bunch of other videos. 😒

    Great staff

  45. @jorgevasquez3653 on January 11, 2025 at 7:53 pm

    Very informative. Thank you so much

  46. @SO-fb4ef on January 11, 2025 at 7:54 pm

    Sleeping with the posture brace stops me rolling onto my side, rolling onto the side shoves all the torso weight onto my shoulder, which shoves it forwards, squashing it for hours every day.
    Obviously wearing the posture brace to bed HELPS.

  47. @brianparker2502 on January 11, 2025 at 7:54 pm

    Great video!

  48. @elonakurti on January 11, 2025 at 7:54 pm

    Does it affect on if im growing or not

  49. @Decent9mm on January 11, 2025 at 7:56 pm

    Unless u have bad posture in your sleep too …

  50. @rasimrasheed4130 on January 11, 2025 at 7:58 pm

    How do you determine which size is apt for you? For eg, my chest or waist size is 106 cm, should I opt for one btw 80-110 cm or 110-140 cm?
