5 Best Posture Correctors for Women

5 Best Posture Correctors for Women
Akanksha Nigam

Just a healthy reminder to straighten your back!

Continuously working on a computer, or laptop, using your mobile phone, or simply sitting without back support bends your spine in an unnatural position. Sitting in this manner for prolonged periods can cause pain in the back, shoulders, and neck.

Over time, it could also make your spine weak and imbalanced, cause degeneration of bones, and lead to osteoarthritis.

Your spine bears the weight of your body, keeps your head balanced, and enables you to walk, run, and perform daily activities. That is why maintaining good posture is so important. It ensures good health of your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones and enhances your appearance.

If you are looking to improve your posture, we've got your back wink 

Buying Guide for Posture Corrector for Women

1. Comfort

Although a back brace will keep your spine straight, it should not apply so much pressure that it becomes unbearable to wear throughout the day. 

As you move, friction can cause skin irritation, so check for features like the thickness of padding at the armpit area. 

2. Ease of Use

Whether it has straps or a hook and loop closure, a brace should be easy to put on, take off and adjust without help.  

3. Discretion

If a posture corrector needs to be worn throughout the day, one that can be worn discreetly under clothes is an important feature.

4. Muscle Activation

Our body adapts to repetitive movements and activities, which is why it is so easy to get into the habit of maintaining bad posture. When muscles are continually placed in improper positions, muscle memory takes over, and bad posture continues. 

A posture corrector can solve this problem by activating the muscles properly and keeping your spine straight and upright. The brace should not be too rigid and have a slightly soft build so that your spine can move with your body.

5. Focus on target areas

Bad posture can cause pain in any area of the back. For example, constantly looking down while using your phone or laptop may cause pain in your neck and shoulders. 

Although a brace will give ample back support, exercises are a great way to support your posture. Ask your doctor about yoga, Pilates, and core strengthening workouts.
