Fit Geno Back Brace Posture Corrector for Women and Men, Shoulder Straightener, Adjustable Full Back Support, Upper and Lower Back Pain Relief - Scoliosis, Hunchback, Thoracic, Spine Corrector (M)

This is the best back support for my lumbar section and for pulling back my shoulders. I am comparing this to prescribed custom fitted ones. None have ever fitted me as well as this one nor been as easy to put on. It is very easy to put on by yourself. I keep it loosely adjusted when I put it on over my head. I keep the shoulder adjustments loosely in place on the velcro and it opened in fron. This way I am able to put my arms in by lifting the support high over my head and just letting in slide down my back. Then I am able to reach all adjustments without any help. I am 5 ft. And weigh 170lbs and I ordered the medium and it fits perfectly but if you weigh more I would order the large. I have had it for about 3 weeks and I wear at least 4 hours everyday. It is not recommend to owear it all day because that does not give your muscles a chance to strengthen. Wearing it all day would soon cause your muscles to weaken because they are not working. Even. Though. It is correcting your posture , it raises extremely comfortably. It has helped my posture in a very short time and I can feel when I start to slump and I then straighten up. When I got the posture corrector , I was walking bent over at the waist and I really couldn’t straighten up. This has help to give my muscles what is called muscle memory. When you realize you are slumping and you’strsighten up - that is exactly what the posture corrector is suppose to do- BUILD MUSCLE MEMORY. Since I can now walk straight and my balance is better, I am working hard on trying to hold my shoulder back. That is going to talk longer for me to develop muscles memory in those muscles and I will get there because this posture corrector has all the adjustments to accomplish that. Any very important thing about this posture corrector is extremely comfortable to wear . It is also an excellent item to wear when doing gardening when. Moving and lifting heavy barks of soil and mulch. I do wear it the whole time I am gardening to save my back. am so straight now, I don’t realize it is on. I am an RN, BSN REWIRING THIS ITEM AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEMD. I

I’ve found this posture support incredibly effective while working at the computer. I wear it throughout the day to keep myself from slipping into bad habits, and the difference is noticeable. I sit much straighter now and avoid slouching without even thinking about it. The design is easy to use and generally comfortable. The only issue I ran into was with the shoulder straps, which felt a bit rough during long wear. I fixed this by adding soft backpack‑style strap pads. With those in place, the support stays snug against my back and performs even better.

Good size posture support. Works good so far. It is pretty durable and versatile with Velcro to adjust to your size and fit. Not heavy when worn.

I just started playing the piano and 15 minutes into the session my back was killing me. Then I spent a day at work solely on the computer and learned I tend to slouch. I realized that to enjoy the piano I needed a brace that would help me NOT slouch and was also comfortable. I tried a different one and quit after 5 minutes - ow! Plus it did not prevent slouching. This one is so comfortable I forgot I was wearing it - except I noticed my great posture without effort!!!! Love all the adjustment straps. Can't even offer a way to improve!

Every body benefits from proper posture. Thus, this product is one I highly recommend. It would be more correct to call all posture correctors, in general, posture reminders or posture monitors. They are not straitjackets or suits of armor that force or immobilize wearers into proper correct posture. Their purpose is to make it uncomfortable when you stray from your maintaining good posture as a reminder to resume proper posture. However many people have no idea what proper posture entails in the first place. 98% of all people practice less than proper posture. There are many good videos online for your consultation that demonstrate proper posture. Proper posture has enumerable positive benefits and outcomes. Primary would be the lessening or eliminating of everyday common back pain. Other benefits include overall attractiveness for everybody - regardless of gender, body shape, weight, age or physical condition, enhancing breast appearance for women, improving one’s stride, elevating one’s self esteem through improvement of one’s appearance and mobility, and much more. Everyone's body benefits from proper posture. Having said that, this particular model is one I highly recommend. Many posture correctors only address shoulder position, and most if not all of these absolutely DO prove their value as one exercises, lifts weights, does household chores, walks or runs on the treadmill, or sits at a computer desk. However this model goes much further, adding tension adjustments to the shoulder straps, middle back, and abdominal / lower back. Wide straps wrap around the abdomen, which I prefer to pull very tight, are there to remind me to pull your stomach in, a critical aspect of maintaining of proper posture. And for stomach breathers, the wide waist straps pulled tight are a continual reminder to fill your lungs with air when you breathe rather than expanding your abdomen. It also features stiffened stays along the spine for further support, all of which makes it a terrific value among other designs. I notice that at specific times I am most aware of my less than ideal posture, and I wear it during these intervals. They include doing kitchen work, as I cook and prep three meals a day, meaning I spend a good amount of time in the kitchen slouching. Another very productive opportunity is wearing it on my lengthy dog walks. Another is when sitting at my desk typing as I am doing right now. In my case I again prefer pulling the adjustments tight, which in my case while sitting at my desk makes the underarm straps uncomfortable over time. In this scenario I slip a folded sock under each strap to help alleviate that particular discomfort. Some commenters state that the Fit Geno Back Brace Posture Corrector is uncomfortable, because yeah, that’s whole point - to make it uncomfortable for you whenever your body tries to resume slouching. I will edit this review if there are any additions.

The Geno Back Brace Posture Corrector arrived with minimal packaging (recyclable). The brace had no unusual odors or industrial smells. Read the directions, don't worry if it feels tight, it is supposed to be tight for efficacy and the design ensures at good fit. Some braces are indicated for 1-hour use; however, the Geno Brace is so comfortable that my first use, I almost forgot I was wearing it! Overall, I got the silver color and followed the fit/size guidelines online. I am 180-ish pounds and 5'5" and the Large fits perfectly. My posture was noticeably better after a couple hours! The materials seem very durable. The only 'meh' is that the shoulder straps could be wider for better pull on the shoulders. Otherwise, the materials are solid and well made. Recommend this for wfh folks who often have posture issues from sitting in front of the computer. Anyhow, a solid buy.

Don't be fooled into thinking this is a back brace - it is 20% back brace and 80% posture correction. S0 if you have a bad back, like I do, it's just one more "close but no cigar" brace for your arsenal. For the price it is pretty good, and even though I am not thrilled, it is worth keeping. BUT here's how they could make it great: 1- The overall length should be 8-10 inches longer so that it supports the entire back. As is, it mostly supports the mid to high back 2- The shoulder straps should be adjustable right on the front where it is easy to get to them. Right now you really have to take it off to access the shoulder straps so it is a time consuming pain to get them just right. 3- the shoulder straps need to be completely redesigned so that they are much more comfortable - too much material is going under the shoulder making it uncomfortable in the armpit. You need more padding up top and the portion going under the armpit should be much thinner. 4- it would be great if it had more adjustable straps overall, so it could be used for better back support.

I ordered a TLSO brace, but shipping was going to take too long, so I ordered this to try in the interim. I suffered a compression fracture of my T5, which healed wrong, causing a deformity and also taking 2" off my anterior height. It's very painful for me to both stand and walk, and often to even sit, so I had to have something. This isn't quite supportive enough for MY injury, but it does help quite a bit and is the most supportive of any other brand of this type that I've tried. Most thoracic fractures are T12 or lower, so my T5 fracture is very uncommon. Thus, I don't think there's anything negative about this brace at all. As I said, it's the best of any brand I've tried, and I think it's because it has two long metal strips going down the back and two shorter ones along the sides, offering much more support. That may make it sound uncomfortable, but it amazingly isn't at all. It also doesn't require someone else to help you put it on after it's been adjusted to your personal fit either, which most rigid TLSO braces do. I think Fit Geno put a lot more thought into the design of this brace than other companies. Most just have thicker material or magnets and neither type was of benefit to me. I had to walk a good distance from street parking on another block to my doctor and PT appointments just a few days ago. Normally, I would've been in terrible pain before even getting there, but this brace made a huge difference. Normally, I wouldn't be able to sit in a regular chair afterward either because the pain would be so bad that I had to lie down, but my pain was greatly reduced and made it possible to sit without the pain becoming any worse. This brace is pretty decent for me, so it may be perfect for people with different injuries. If your injury is farther down than the T5, since that is not common at all, this may work just fine for you. I'd recommend giving it a shot, as it is much less expensive than the rigid TLSO braces, and much more comfortable, too! This isn't labeled as a TLSO brace, so I'm not trying to say that it is. I'm just saying that it's a pretty good substitute for one, and you may not even require that type of brace, so I would recommend it over any other brands that are labeled to do the same as this one. My injury is very uncommon in its location and not correctable since it healed wrong. If those two things don't apply to you, then save yourself the time and trouble of ordering and having to return the wrong brace and just order this brace, period. Good luck. I hope this was helpful.

Bought after reading positive reviews. Has helped my back with the muscle cramping fatigue I get from my weak and bent Scoliosis~spine, but no~one knows I’m wearing over my tank under layer but under my tops Prompt delivery too

No funciona para la espalda lastima mucho los hombros

It reminds me to straighten my back when standing. It useless when sitting. And it is very hot and sweaty.

Once I get it on my back does not hurt as much. Comfortable to wear up to 2 hrs at a time,longer than that starts hurting.

Can't wear it under clothes
