Gives decent support for those who have a problem with slouching and others with medical issues.
I'm a bit big to try this out and have decent posture anyway, so I had my friend put it on today.  I ordered it with her in mind as she'd been complaining of shoulder pain.  She'd had rotator cuff surgery not too long ago, and the pain was back.  She had problems sleeping on her side with the pain.  I mentioned this to her and she said her doctor has told her about similar devices that helped maintain posture.  I've ordered and used compression straps for my forearms to alleviate and allow healing for tennis elbow, so I know how a little support helps.  Anyway, she tried it on and said she immediately felt two inches taller.  The support was there and it helped with the pain immediately.  The device came with two pads, but didn't have any explanation for them.  I thought they might be shoulder pads, but later read on the product page they were for the arm pits.  They wrap around and velcro the strap there so it doesn't make that area tender.<br /><br />I think the best thing about this she thought besides the support and pain relieve was how light it is.  She is still working and on her feet all day inspecting electronic components for a local firm with government contracts for critical plane parts.  With this she can wear under her clothes and maintain good posture all day working while her muscles heal.  Thus avoid the bad things of taking NSAID painkillers and other things that become chronic problems instead of solutions.  Going on her experience, I recommend this device, it's inexpensive and does it's job well.
