how posture braces weaken your muscles

152 views

I’ve been improving my posture with a chiro but the next step is to strengthen back muscles and try to keep correct posture. I’m trying a posture brace and smart device which i feel like are strengthening / training my muscles; but, supposedly these devices *weaken* your back muscles. How? And why is my back sore after using the brace or smart device if they weaken the muscles?

Your current muscles work just fine. It’s the awareness of sitting like a shrimp that needs to be worked on. The supports will make you rely upon a device and make you weak. When you don’t have the device what are you gonna do? You are gonna sit like a wet paper towel again.

Set a timer for a minute and train yourself to be aware and mindful of your posture. You should be able to maintain focus on a single thing for a long time like your posture.
