Orthopedic Vest

What is bad posture and what are its effects?

Having bad posture is standing in a position that is not optimal for the spine, it can lead to severe pain, impact on your daily life and generate other problems, joint, muscle, migraines or pain in other parts of the body. Poor posture creates pressure in certain areas of the back, particularly on the nerves, which quickly leads to pain, including migraines. By bending over, your lungs and diaphragm are slightly compressed, reducing your breathing and causing fatigue and lack of energy. Being bent over can also change the appearance of your silhouette, making you look less slender.

Whether we’re sitting, standing or making an effort that strains our backs, the posture we adopt is not always the right one, without us even realizing it. Certain degenerative diseases also cause back pain and poor posture. Weak musculature is also one of the causes of bad posture and its attendant aches and pains. It’s our muscles that hold the spine in place, so it’s important to build up back and abdominal muscles, as well as wearing a posture corrector.

Using a posture corrector vest helps you keep your back in the right position, effortlessly and without having to think about it. Our orthopedic vests will give you instant relief, straightening your back to free your muscles, joints and vertebrae from the pressure they’re under.
