I have thought about buying a posture corrector for quite some time. My back feels sore and tired daily especially at my desk at work and once I get home. My husband tries to help me by rolling my shoulders back or pushing my shoulder blades in but it is now just the way my body is if I don't actually think about correcting myself. I know it sounds silly but it does take effort to correct my shoulders and shoulder blades and hold them there. I even get tired if I hold them like that too long. My should blades actually hit the back of the chair before my back does, that is how bad it has gotten!
I've been to the doctor about it and the chiropracter a few times but their responses are never a guarantee that it will fix my problem or they said just to think about it all the time and roll my shoulders back. This does not really work well because the problem is it's now a habit so I don't think about it...ever. I am not sure how it started, some people say that it is laziness or embarassment of chest size or height growth while I was young. Any of those things could have played a part in my posture, I really don't know. Whatever the reason that started this needs to be reversed because I don't want to be one of those elderly women with a hunchback and can barely lift my upper body. As I think about it more and look at myself in the mirror my shoulder blades now stick out and my shoulders roll in, it is not a pretty sight especially since when I slouch my tummy looks like it is sticking out which I am fairly thin so it shouldn't look like that. I have finally decided to buy a posture corrector, actually my husband thinks I should buy 2 and try both types to see which one helps more. They are not extremely expensive so I think I am going to try and see if it helps. I will wear them probably on weekends and on week nights, not sure if I would want to wear them at work. I hope that I have not made this posture and upper body form permanent!
Here are a few of my options I have found online on amazon.com, there are not very many choices that have good ratings so I hope to find a good one that works. Wish me luck!
