To wear a shoulder posture brace, follow these steps to improve your posture:
- Put it on like a vest: Begin by slipping the posture brace on as you would a vest.
- Position the shoulder straps: Slide the straps over your shoulders, ensuring they are comfortably positioned.
- Adjust the straps: Reach behind your back and gently pull the ends of the straps apart.
- Angle the straps: Pull the straps downwards at approximately a 45-degree angle. This angle is important for effective posture correction.
- Fasten the brace: Secure the ends of the straps below your bustline (or in a comfortable position on your abdomen), ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit.
Remember to adjust the brace so that it's snug but not restricting. Start by wearing it for short periods (e.g., 15-30 minutes) and gradually increase the duration as your body adjusts. It's also essential to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and to ensure the brace is appropriate for your needs.
