However, because the brace is intended to correct your posture, some level of discomfort should be expected. Rectangle D-rings located on the back of the brace prevent any type of twisting of the straps, meaning you’ll never have to worry about readjusting a twisted strap throughout the day.

What are the Health Benefits of Good Posture?

The health benefits of proper posture are endless. Beginning with confidence, good posture makes an individual not only appear healthier but become healthier. By practicing correct posture in your daily life you can prevent back pain that may come with age or an incorrect stance. For example, practicing the correct posture technique will prevent you from the aches and pains your back feels after a long day at your desk job. Without being addressed these aches and pains can become long term issues for a person.

Keeping an upright posture allows your airways to open up helping you to breathe properly. As you begin to open up, more oxygen will travel to your head. This will allow for the blood to carry a sufficient amount of oxygen to your entire body, creating a healthier individual. Low levels of oxygen can create countless health issues for a person including- migraines, strong pains throughout the body, low energy levels, and even heart problems.

Good posture also has the potential to help you with weight loss by taking tension off of your body. As your practice better posture your core muscles will strengthen by the extension of the mid back. This extension allows your core muscles to engage better, which in return will slim your frame and improve your appearance.

If you experience any pain or discomfort, remove or loosen the straps. You can also reduce the amount of time you wear it.

To adjust the straps, undo the fasteners and tighten or loosen them for your ideal comfort. If the straps are still too long, trim the ends (after removing the alligator clips) and then re-attach the clips.
