Thank you. I have bad posture from years of depression, and got one of these. Now I know to only wear a short time

Thanks I hadn't considered that the brace would be artfically holding your posture up so not actually training the muscules to form better stature . I imagine this would be good for stretching the back not correcting it.

Big surprise that a chiropractor doesn't like something that it takes dozens of chiropractic visits to achieve. I went to a chiropractor for muscle spasms in my back for months. It didn't help much. The muscle is in spasm again, and it's all caused by my C-curve scoliosis. I'm going to buy one of these. Lots cheaper and probably will do as much good as those months of chiropractic appointments.

I have a hempvana and it’s changed my life.
I’m 57 and have strong shoulders but was hunching bad and 2 inches shorter than I was at 30.
Now I’m 6’2” again and feel no pain.
I’ve noticed you good doctor are suffering from a hunch yourself.
Best if you get one mate.🇦🇺

This information makes sense I’m glad I saw this sooner I was wearing the brace for like 3 hours long or more bought it a couple weeks ago

Won't the muscles be strengthened if we wear it in the gym?

[jontysarge]

Haven’t read the instructions but here’s my review 🤣 nice one doc

[marcdelaney]

Well — TY for the caveat to not wear this device for too long. However, if I like wearing this device as a part of an isometric walking and exercise routine daily, can you please provide some idea pertaining to — if I opt to wear this device daily for this purpose, and not to correct any spinal or back issues per se — how many hours could I potentially wear this device per day, or every other day, without incurring any of the potentially negative effects which you caution against in your video? TY in advance. — md.

wouldnt wearing an elastic band in the same way achieve the same effect?

[anthonyg]

Thanks for the explanation.
So what i understood was that this helps with keeping the shoulders at a proper position.
But does it prevent the spine from bending when sitting?
or should i get a posture corrector that supports this as well ?
or would the product/design you're using does this?

[blakecrandall]

Would it be efficient if I wore it while lifting?

[davidpestana]

I have a bad posture I am 27 however I always workout would that compensate the muscles weakness?

[alaaomar]

[jorgechoypernia]
