The strap kind that is, that go round your upper body.
I know they're often frowned upon and it's more important to strengthen muscles to fix your posture (e.g. lower traps, serratus etc) but I'm trying a combination of both.
My right shoulder has been rounded forward for a couple years (I spend a lot of time at a desk) and sometimes causes issues. I'm pretty sure it's gotten a lot worse over the lockdown too and working from home.
I've had plenty of trips to the physio who have given me a load of rehab exercises mainly for my traps, RC and serratus aswell as chest / pec minor stretches. These have helped ease any pain I was getting but the position of my shoulder / scapular is being really stubborn though and looks like it's hardly budged.
I'm wondering if all the time I'm spending at my desk is reversing the effects of the exercises.
If I wear a posture corrector it reminds me to contract my lower trap on that side, its also made me realise just how much my shoulder has been rounding forward when I'm working.
I don't rely on it to hold my posture in the right place.
Anyone else tried
best posture corrector for neck? I'm hoping keeping my lower trap contracted more often like this will help
