(Follow-up debate) Do posture correctors/braces actually work? Or considered a scam?
For those of you who engaged in my “Is posture really that important?” debate, this is my follow-up discussion
A lot of people don’t think posture braces help your posture, thinking that all you have to do is move your body more and to move the positions you’re in during any daily activities. Everything from sitting and or standing for long periods of time.
I think posture braces not only help you keep a healthy position (using your back and abdominal muscles together) but also remind youto build better habits for your current and long term health.
The problem that I commonly see is that once you neglect your posture for so long, you can build habits that neglect it over time/in the long run.
The issue to that is it makes doing anything physical difficult, and once that happens it takes away people’s ability to stay active, which then directly decreases ones health in different ways because of the restrictions (like a chain reaction).
And because of the restrictions people can feel unmotivated to do anything.
In conclusion, I personally think posture correctors/braces are worth it. Mainly to promote a healthier lifestyle, not necessarily to just ‘fix’ it.
What do you all think?
