Neo-G Clavicle Brace - Back Support for Early Kyphosis, Rounded Shoulders, Pain Relief, Muscular Aches, Rehab - Fully Adjustable - Class 1 Medical Device - M - Tan

I have purchases several posture aids over the years, including several in the last year. I have had poor posture for many years despite weight-bearing exercise, unless I am paying attention, in part because my Dad was round shouldered as he got older. In the years before his death at 92, he could not even lay his head flat, coming at best about four inches from the ground. I have been determined to fight this as I get older.None of the devices I have purchased comes close to working as well as the Neo G device. And most I have not returned because I have worn them long enough that I didn't feel I could legitimately return them. My most recent purchase -- Faburo Adjustable Back Brace for Posture Correction and Back Pain Support - NEW Added Under-Arm Cushion Support - UNISEX (Black), also from Amazon -- was a good device but it was so long in the body that, to strap it on tightly or it would hurt my neck. And even though I purchased my size, it just did not pull back my shoulders as much as I would like.The Neo G is a fully adjustable device, both around the waist and, because the should harness also pulls around and velcroes in the front, is also fully adjustable. It ran true to size and, when pulled on tight, it really pulls your shoulders back. It has lightweight stays for the length of the back to provide a reminder to keep your bak straight. It also features pads so that the underarm area is well-protected. I have worn it at night (and I sleep in an adjustable bed) but I find that it is more useful to wear during the day, where it is a strong reminder not only to keep your shoulders back but to keep your spine more erect. Since I work from home, it's a good reminder indeed.Going out: I would wear it under a jacket but not something lightweight, like a T-shirt. I have worn it over an exercise shirt and under a fleece jacket when running around doing errands. If you sit at a desk, this would be ideal.Finally I have found a posture device that really works!

This was a disappointment. I had pretty high hopes for it but it just isn't a good product. I got XL but the straps are way too short. Cuts off circulation under my ribs. The shoulder cushions are enormous and don't actually help a bit. The straps themselves are far less uncomfortable and certainly less bulky, but too short to fasten properly.The metal stays in the back work their way out within minutes so they poke up. If this were worn under a shirt, there would be lumps everywhere.

They were definitely on the right track with this -- the materials used are strong and yet thin to go under clothes. The design is right on the mark -- only they screwed up with the length of the straps that go over the shoulders and are supposed to cross in back then Velcro closed in front. I'm usually an XL but I decided to play it safe and order a 2XL because it's much easier to shorten than to lengthen straps. As it comes from the seller, there is no way a human of any proportions would find the shoulder straps long enough! So I now have made a custom extension strap out of a 3" wide elastic band with Velcro sewn at each end (on opposite sides) to run across my belly and connect up the two shoulder straps in front. At my size, this strap measures about 2 1/2 feet long. It needs to be the exact size you need to close the two shoulder straps across the front of your body. I think the manufacturer probably figured this out before they designed the package because, when you look at the illustrations, you can see that they cleverly omitted any views of the front of the "model" with the device fully applied!

Because of pain exacerbated by sitting in a chair where I can't lean back to support my upper back and neck, I ordered this brace. I had one that fit around the arms and fastened in the back like a bra but it cut off the circulation in my arms quickly so I couldn't use it very long. The same thing happens with this brace if I wear it in the configuration pictured on amazon site and the product box. If I wear it with the straps going under my arms, it's very hard to stretch the straps long enough to fasten them in front, making the product seem "too small." Also, the circulation is cut off in my arms, making it even more uncomfortable than the support device I was replacing. So, I place the straps over my shoulders (using the cushions there), cross them in an "X" on my chest, then wrap them around my waist and fasten them in the back. This may not be the ideal configuration but it does help support my upper back and keep it straight without torturing me in other ways. The brace has extended the time I can sit comfortably and concentrate before I have to take a break. I still can't go very long but any improvement is welcome. I can put it on over my clothes for driving and when it gets cooler, I'll try try some yard work with it. If I could wear it the way it's designed, I'd give it a 5.

This product runs very, very small. I can't say "very" enough. As a size M in a women's t-shirt, I ordered an XL, following the reviews of the other reviewers. The shoulder straps are too short and by the time they wrap around and connect, the straps dig into your armpits, causing friction/burns. What makes the sizing problematic is that this product is NOT returnable. I received the brace yesterday, wore it today and said, "No way." When a manufacturer does not offer a return policy, I have to wonder why - because they finally dumped something marketed deceptively and made their money? Especially frustrating for a product in the realm of a medical device where we just want relief from pain. I should have read their return policy. You should, too. Lesson learned. By the way, a similar product call Posture Corrector Brace by ufeelgood.us is appropriately sized, and you will be much happier. I bought a size Medium from them and the fit is accurate.
