I bought the ur2 on Black Friday, tbh it’s been so helpful for posture and back pain I had from constant bending at work. I’d give it. 9/10 I wish the battery life was longer, but with the amt of vibrations and the more intense settings I have on (so I can know when it vibrates) I can see why the battery drains
Good video. However would’ve been good to get to get a more conclusive answer to the title of the video as supposed to just an comparison between the previous model.
Short answer is: this can totally fix your posture if you're willing to use it consistently. The long answer is: Think about this like you would a treadmill. Will this treadmill help me lose weight? Probably but you can't just let it sit in your spare room and never use it. The Upright is a wonderful biofeedback tool that is, in our opinion, the best of its kind for posture. But if you're not willing to put in the work, you won't see results.
OMG this idea is actually really cool. I had no idea this existed! I'm posture training right now and have had a lot of success. I use something called a GymBoss strapped to my upper arm. It looks like a pedometer and doesn't require charging. You pick a sound and/or vibration pattern, duration, intensity, and time interval personal reminders. I started with a silent, short, single pulse, medium intensity vibration, every 15 minutes. Wore it all day, every day, for 2 weeks and then increased to 20 mins, then 25 mins. I also change the vibration patterns up sometimes so I don't get desensitized to it (e.g, 3 very short pulses). It started as a conscious reminder but is turning into more of an unconscious one. So it basically trained my brain to automatically correct any posture issues without me actually thinking about it.
Wow thanks detailed comment. So from your experience will come to a point . Your brain will automatically keep good posture and fix itself, or this a device you wear rest of your life ? Also can wear always? Like 24 hours.
@@sleepyjoescumbag1663 Well I actually haven't worn it for weeks! =) It got to the point where just the mere _sensation_ of feeling my neck pushing forward or back hunching would automatically trigger this reminder in my brain to "fix it now!" Those self-corrections eventually became second nature until I was holding the positions for longer and longer periods unconsciously. I had VERY bad posture originally, so had some pretty painful days due to underdeveloped muscles TBH Had to really keep up with stretching, massaging, etc. But the changes are astonishing! The neutral position my skeleton goes to when I stand relaxed now is completely different than 6 months ago. My ears shifted back inches and sit over my shoulders, my upper back isn't hunched, my lower back has a nice curve, my pelvis tilted a few degrees, and even the weight distribution on my feet changed significantly. I sometimes catch myself starting to slouch some towards the end of the night so started back strengthening exercises 2 weeks ago so I can make it permanent. I definitely would not have been successful without stretching and the GymBoss. You could technically wear it 24/7 but I was too afraid my brain would get too used to feeling it and become desensitized... So I wore it when I knew I wouldn't be too distracted to miss or ignore alters (like at while work or watching TV).
Got mine today, leaned over a few times at my desk to give myself a couple of electric shocks to test it out (JK)… Works great. Everyone who sits in front of a computer for hours a day(like me) really should look into trying this out.
After watching it I disagree. - "Can An App Fix Your Posture?" I still do not know - "Physical Therapist Reviews Upright Go 2 Posture Device and App." Literally anybody could do such review. Nothing from physical therapy included, at lest nothing what would need a real therapist.
Is there a way to delay buzzing after a set time? For example, if you drop a pen on the floor or pick something up that requires bending, can you set a 10 sec time limit where if you continue to bend for longer, it should start buzzing?
Hi I was just wondering if the upright is better than other postural "braces" because braces make your muscles weaker as u have to rely on it? Thanks in advance 👍
@@pooblock4092 We actually have bought our Uprights. We have no financial interest in the company and we were approached by them to be in a promotional video following the release of these videos :) Dr. Lin's really just a big fan
Are there any 'speculative' associated health risks with wearing this radiation emitting device all day on your back? Of course there's going to be no study on this but have you heard that?
Would have preferred a professional view as to whether it actually does what we actually need it to do. What the benefit it. We can all read the manual and follow in-app instructions. No need for you to make a UA-cam video repeating it all.
Totally works. We love uprights and have made several videos about the products. But you have to know what a good posture looks and feels like to calibrate the device. If you calibrate it in bad posture, it won't correct you properly.

Thank you for the comparison. You helped me make my decision!
Good info, just ordered mine. Kudos for the Batman transition music…

This is honestly the best review I’ve seen
After watching it I disagree.

Thank you kindly for this informative review.
Glad you enjoyed!
Great job brother!

It does not buzz if you overextend to pick something up, tie your shoes, etc. But it also does have a timer integrated.
What Aljoscha said!
@@aljoschanoe4155 Can you personalize a set time of your choosing, like 5 secs, 10 secs, etc.?
@@thtt9279 yes
My husband mostly slouches from the neck up to his head. It will not help that poor position will it?
Only if he wants to be helped is what I tell patients
@@RehabRevive will it help his neck posture was her question?
Yes, just stick the device at the base of the neck.
Hi I was just wondering if the upright is better than other postural "braces" because braces make your muscles weaker as u have to rely on it?
Thanks in advance 👍
Is the position you hold your tablet and therefore look to it a good postural example? Can it be improved to prevent future postural problems?
Sorry maybe I missed in the video....do we have to calibrate every time we put it on?
Ideally you can but not needed
Dam make life easier also if dont have anything to train.thank you pail.
Graet
I have a spinal stenosis in the cervical.. Buzzing is making numbness in the body ..
Is this kind of buzzing harmful for my case or not?
It can be adjusted. Should see if it increases symptoms but for thr most part could be ok
Where is the answer of the question, "Can this device fix your picture?"
Is the 3 noticably heavier since the battery lasts longer?
Do you have anything for hyper lumbar lordosis
How to purchase in india
Is this suitable for a teenager?
Where you payed for the review? Did you get the devices for free?
We did not get paid for this review. Dr. Lin was an early adopter of the Upright and has been an advocate for the product for a really long time! :)
He probably got it for free

Sir what's the name of the background music ?
Darude - Sandstorm
I don’t need… my wife just tells me to stand up straight if I’m slouching…..
So to answer the original question..can it fix your posture?
Alone? No. But if you're consistent with using it and put in a genuine effort to change the habit? YES.
@@RehabRevive so if you use it all the time for let’s say 3 months, would there be a noticeable (even if it’s slight) difference?
Good instruction….music is annoying and unnecessary.
Are there any 'speculative' associated health risks with wearing this radiation emitting device all day on your back? Of course there's going to be no study on this but have you heard that?
it aint xrays bud
MUSIC IS ANNOYING!!!!!!! CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!
It sounds like po** music form the 70's- 80's hahaha
