Does Posture Support Work?

Do posture correctors work? While having good posture is a great goal, most posture correctors don't help you achieve it. In fact, some of these devices can do more harm than good. That's because your body begins to rely on the devices to hold you up, especially if you wear them for long periods of time.

Do posture correctors work long term?

While posture correctors can be helpful, they are not a long-term solution. “Posture correctors should only be used short-term to help cultivate awareness of healthy posture, but not for extended periods which results in core muscle weakness,” says Dr. Zazulak.

Do doctors recommend posture correctors?

Posture correctors are often recommended for patients with mild cases of misalignment, says Dr. Okubadejo; in other words, if you're having general neck pain, back pain, or headaches, or your posture is noticeably slouched, a posture corrector can help you retrain your muscles into a healthier alignment.
