Could work during these WFH times
Upon wearing it, there was a noticable difference in sitting upright. Good quality straps that don't seem like it will loosen soon, and the back part is a rubber/semi-matte-plastic material that pushes your muscles up. Out of the box, there was a slight smell that probably can be rid off by tossing it in the good ol washer.<br /><br />From an anatomy perspective, the reason why we have the desk slouch, or "potato chip" slouch is due to overdeveloped lats, and underdeveloped rhomboids. If you sit up straight, and feel the back of shoulder blades connect to each other, that part of the muscle is usually the weak muscle developed from being a desk warrior. (Imagine if that muscle was really strong, you couldn't even slouch if you wanted to)<br /><br />This helps in that it pushes and engages some part of this muscle, but I also suspect that I can only work with a good exercise routine that trains that specific part. The shoulder strap keeps you upright, engaging that lazy muscle that we grow accustomed to relaxing, but we would also need to give it some gym time such that overtime it becomes strong on its on. Personally, I also think this should be eased-in when wearing, such that you don't develop aches or muscle injury from something too drastic.<br /><br />Search up "How To Fix Rounded Shoulders FAST (10 Minute Science-Based Corrective Routine)" on YouTube, there's more details in there that can perhaps complement this device well.<br /><br />*** I am not a doctor, or licensed practitioner, all thoughts above are my opinions only and cannot be construed as advice.
