ComfyBrace Posture Corrector-Back Brace for Men and Women- Fully Adjustable Straightener for Mid, Upper Spine Support- Neck, Shoulder, Clavicle and Back Pain Relief-Breathable

I was in a pretty bad car accident about 15 years ago. My posture has suffered and I was getting pretty bad migraines as time progressed. I purchased this item as well as a chiropractic neck pillow. The posture brace made me sore with migraines the first week. I attributed this to my body trying to readjust. Several months have passed and my posture has completely changed . I am confident enough to wear my hair up and show my neck. I had a forward head posture and rounded shoulders , both have significantly improved . I have to use the brace more for maintenance now. I get headaches when I need to wear it; after I immediately feel better . I also wear the brace until I can feel my upper thoracic tension decrease . In the beginning I could only wear the brace for 3-5 minutes . I get immediate relief with the release .. this sometimes takes and hour depending on the severity of the tension. I also use the chiropractic pillow which I purchased first … but I didn’t get the most relief until I started with the posture brace . I honestly look like a different person and and I am more confident as well.

Instantly I felt pain relief. The brace is comfortable and easy to put on and take off! Def helped my pain that I wasn’t certain came from posture. Finally relief after 18 months of doctors trying to figure out why pain! I even slept in it to get relief and slept better than I had in 18 months and woke up pain free! Def posture issue for me and def got relief from this! And I love the maker’s personal guarantee and message inside the box! Very thoughtful and caring! Thank you!!!

I have a pinched nerve in between my shoulder blades with extremely painful serrated knife cutting through my triceps type of radiating pain in my arm. Muscle relaxers were kinda helping, pain killers did nothing really. I have been active in the gym prior to the pain so getting back to working on my gains bro was of top priority second only to pain relief. Chiropractors are a sham and will only do more damage. So I was at a crossroads of needing relief. And this seemingly simple contraption was the only possible light at the end of my tunnel. It shipped super quick so I when I got the package I quickly tore apart the new elope and got to work on figuring out how to put it on. Word of caution if you have a new or healing shoulder injury DO NOT attempt to put this on. You will hurt yourself! My shoulders are 50” and biceps 16”. If you are any bigger than that you probably won’t fit in this and if you do, it probably won’t be comfortable. Speaking of comfort, sometimes you have to choose the lesser evil. This is not comfy to wear. It will rub in your armpits and on your neck. But! It will release the pressure just enough to help with radiating pain. It will force you to sit up straight which will prevent future problems as well as helping to align your spine to relieve pain. It won’t make sitting any more comfortable but it will make it more tolerable. It won’t take away your neck pain but helping your posture will remind you to stop looking down at your phone like you are doing right now. Lol I do have more ability to turn my neck even though the pain is there, i don’t feel so robotic. It’s 20 bucks and for some much needed relief even though it doesnt erase pain you can at least feel more relaxed.

Chaffs... Pressed on arm nerve

Easy to use. Works on me & my son. Only downfall... he can adjust the strap to make looser. But otherwise, its just what I wanted for video game playing and working on computer

It was easy to adjust the tension of the braces. But I can not wear it under my clothes. I wear at home at night for 2-4 hrs. to help me with my posture. I tend to slouch.

I just got my brace yesterday and wore it for about half an hour, so thats where Im coming from with this review. My family have noticed my poor posture lately and have been commenting on it, so Ive ordered a new chair for my home office, a lumbar support cushion for my chair at work, and this thing for when Im not at either. Ive got a large torso and wide shoulders, so I wasnt sure how long the straps should be; eventually I decided to put them on with only slightly lengthened straps from the default. Theyre elastic, and fairly strongly so, and they held my shoulders back in the proper posture without trouble. My family noticed immediately that I was standing straighter, so clearly theyre doing the job, and there wasnt any noticeable discomfort from the relatively tight straps. The seller recommends wearing them for short periods until you get used to them, and I can see why: I wore them only half an hour because my shoulders were getting sore. The fact of the muscle soreness suggests that my body is actually doing some of the work to hold my shoulders back (probably unconsciously), and thats good news: it means my rear deltoids will actually be tightening up over time while wearing them, improving my posture even without the brace on. I dont think this is the ideal solution for poor posture - barbell exercises for the chest and upper/lower back are the best solutions - but for anyone without time or access to a gym this is at lesat a reasonable alternative. I cant say how well this would help people with longterm injuries or chronic pain, as I dont have either, but at least as far as a single wearing this product seems to be exactly what its advertised to be. Ill update this review in a month or so, after Ive worn it more. EDIT: Ive now had the brace for two weeks, and I can safely say that its much more comfortable to wear for longer periods now than it was at the beginning. Ive restarted my weightlifting regimen, so its hard to say which has had more effect, but Ive noticed myself automatically sitting up straight without having to consciously make myself do so. Obviously, this involves tensing muscles, so I have a little bit more soreness after long periods sitting with no back support than before, but thats been fading as I become accustomed to it.

Ultimately I had to return this item because I’m a large guy. It didn’t fit me correctly under the arms because of my size (which I was afraid of happening to begin with). However, I’d it hadn’t been for the size issue, I would have 100% kept this product. It is made cleanly without rubbing seams. The materials are high quality. The elastic adjustment straps are not stuff. The velcro larches were very strong and the shoulder/ chest padding was gel and very comfortable. I really wish this had fit my size. On my weight loss journey I hope I’m lose enough to fit this. It looks as if it is meant to fit an average size person next. Very petite might be too small and xxxl like myself is too large. I’d say it probably goes anywhere between S-Xl comfortably. I always appreciate a well made product.

Gets irritating on the skin after about 5 minutes

I havent tried the brace. I bought it before I talked to my Physical Therapy doctor. And when I talked with the doctor, he made it clear that this brace will make me dependent on the brace, rather than strengthening my own muscles so I dont need a brace. The manufacturer tells us as much in their product description. Paraphrasing: You can start with a few minutes a day and then after a short time you can wear it all the time. Thats just another way of saying that after a short time, you get used to the benefit of wearing it, and you no longer need your muscles to do what theyre supposed to be doing. A better solution is to work with your doctor or physical therapist to strengthen your own muscles to correct your posture.
