There are a few slouchers in the Frost office so we jumped at the chance to review the new bac< shoulder brace. Let’s find out if it works…
First of all, it is relatively easy to get on, as long as you follow the instructions. Yes, I know, we all hate following instructions but it needs to be done. The device looks good too. We reckon you could even wear it over your clothes. If you are into that type of thing.
So for the most important answer: yes, it works. It is lightweight and comfortable and it makes you stand up straight. This is a great device for strong posture. Recommended.
