The EquiFit Shouldersback Posture Support Lite is a posture corrector that was specially designed with the help of orthopedist and physical therapists to reduce the tendency of the upper back from bending forward. This posture brace was intentionally made to give comprehensive coverage to the thoracic region of the upper back (the area below the cervical vertebrae) and the lower rib cage.
The EquiFit Shouldersback Posture Support Lite is highly recommended for daily use regardless of what type of physical activity that you indulge in, whether that be in work, exercise, or just the need to straighten out your crooked posture. One advantage of wearing the EquiFit Shouldersback Posture Support Lite is that it is the first alternative solution in reducing those chronic neck and back pains that is commonly related to spending too much time sitting in a wrong position.
The EquiFit Shouldersback Posture Support Lite straightens the upper back along with relieving the strain on the neck and lower back by regaining the center of gravity of the entire spinal column. This results in a straighter posture, balancing the weigh equally on the lower back and the lumbar muscles. Since the lower lumbar area has the thickest bone density in the spinal column, the entire weight of the torso should be centered here. And since the upper back has a slightly thinner bone density, it is only natural that pain will eventually develop in that region due to the weight that it has to carry caused by the chest that drags the weight forward.
Quality and Materials Used:
Being made from purely synthetic materials, the EquiFit Shouldersback offers its wearer the convenience of optimum comfort by the way it allows adequate air circulation all throughout the garment. Comprising mostly of Nylon, Ryon and Polyester fabrics, this posture brace is able to pull the substantial amount of weight being carried by the upper body, particularly the chest.
The main back portion of the posture brace is mostly made of Polyester fabrics that hold the entire posture corrector together despite of having a minimal design. The back part of this posture support pushes the entire thoracic area inward, forcing the chest outward, giving its user a straight posture. The shoulder support are made from a combination of Nylon and Ryon along with having a Velcro strap for easy shoulder width adjustment.
The lower chest area is also supported by a Velcro strap that wraps around the entire rib cage as it secures the upper back, inhibiting the entire posture brace to move, making it very secured. Being “Lite” as it is, the entire posture corrector weighs just around 6.4 ounces, which is hardly noticeable when one is wearing it. Because of the lightweight qualities of the materials used, this model can be conveniently worn directly without the use of any undergarments.
