Posture PT Posture Personal Trainer with Strap

This is a Godsend for me. I need lumbar support, but I also need something that helps my shoulders open up. This simple, but we'll made device solves both. The first day I used it, my middle back muscles were sore in a way they never have been before. That, to me, means it's working!!!! I will cart this everywhere to keep my back supported. Won't live without it.

expensive for what it is.

Absolutely amazing. I have posture issues that I've spent a lot on. PT, strength exercises, yoga, clavicle support braces, and more. I've only used this item for three days, mostly during long drives where my posture is at its worst and this has changed everything. Yes, you will be sore but in the best way, your weak areas will engage and have long lasting corrective effects. I will be ordering another for the office.

The concept is great and does a good job getting you to sit up straight. However, $60 is just way too over priced. One could buy a foam roller cut in half for $3. I have since returned the product.

Great idea... forces the shoulders in to proper spread position while providing full spinal support as a desk jockey... suggesting chairs are designed improperly!!!

It's too much money for just a piece of foam... returned it after realizing that there are a lot of other ones that are better and considerably cheaper

This product has it's positives and negatives. I am a dentist/dental surgeon, concerned about my posture. I'm also an athlete and do a lot to keep my body/back/neck etc. strong and balanced. I purchased this hoping it would, as the website for the product says, help activate back accessory muscles, help me open my chest and avoid hunching. I emailed one of the inventors (their website encourages you to) and told him I was thinking of using it while working on patients. He said he just had contact with another dental professional, who was using it for that and liked it. OK...so...here's the positives and negatives (in my opinion). By the way. I purchased two of these. Pros: when you sit back against this (it is basically like a foam roller, cut lengthwise, and it's centered correctly, it's cool. You can feel your back kind of expand around it, it definitely opens the chest, and I think the design is good. It's comfortable. I like it in my car, especially for longer drives. It is of a slightly squishy but firm rubber material, and I think its' good quality, definitely durable. They had the right idea including a strap for it to help secure it to a seat. Cons/negatives: the strap thing is, well, it's an idea that they didn't think out too well. The Posture PT basically tips or slides side to side, or falls forward, virtually every single time I get up, or sit down, even if I am careful how I sit. I have to adjust it every single time. If I am doing errands in the car, driving short distances, it's a friggin' pain. So far as securing it to my dental operator chair (essentially a stool with a backrest about 8-12 " above the seat), it was a joke. Even though I tightened the strap as much as I could, fiddled with the strap in various adaptions to the chair, the Posture PT fell forward, fell on the floor, fell sideways....every time I moved. So that one is now on my chair, in my office. And while it stays upright most of the time it slides to one side or the other...again requiring adjustment every time I sit. I am using it--I think it does help me be more aware of my posture and keeps me from hunching. But with things I do, I can't afford to, for instance, do a surgery and not bother suturing things so they are secure and the patient is assured things are going to stay in place. I kind of "get" that the inventors had/have a good idea--but they didn't bother following through for actually using the device in practice.

this item hurt my back even more, I thought it will be helpful at least to decrease the backpain while I am working on my computer; however, it didn't and it disappointed me since I keep trying things and they don't work
