- I bought 4 of the 'top' posture correction braces on Amazon and there is a clear winner. Though, the other 3 may have features that you really want for a posture correction brace. Here they are:
Gea Rari: amzn.to/3aiJrKL
Comfy Brace: amzn.to/3akMhyY
TruWeo: amzn.to/3mYsn1P
FY Posture: amzn.to/3swuAT5
Remember, posture braces are not meant to be a long term solution for bad posture. Posture exercises and stretches are important to consider as well as a posture brace, so be sure to subscribe for some ideas on how to improve your posture.

Thank you for posting this. I ordered the Gea Rari and the Comfy Brace to compare and the Gea Rari wins out hands down. It's comfortable, super easy to put on and take off and the straps don't slip AT ALL when adjusting (I'm a pretty big guy, so this becomes kind of a big issue with most products). Thanks again!
Does it work as time goes on? I've been told by overweight people that they slowly start slouching again. I was unable to determine why. It's made me hesitant to try this. I do t trust many reviews. This guy is a physical therapist but says nothing of recommending it to his patients.
@@DingDangDun from what I've been reading you have to work your muscles. This is a good tool to remind you to correct your posture, but it's not a magical device unfortunately.
How much are they paying you to say this?
@@DingDangDun but,, he said he wouldn’t hesitate recommended a few of them to family members or patients ….
The comfy brace for me
Thank you! Recently, I have been wanting to find an easy way to correct my posture. My siblings have been making fun of how such bad posture I have, and with school starting, I want to fix it before other people might comment on it. I’ll defiantly look into the Gea Rari one, and I might even wear it during school. Putting a lot of hope into this!
So, how did it go with the brace?
so how is it
is there any posture brace you know that has the straps you pull down to tighten, but also not so restrictive when moving your arms (like breathable and mobile material)?
Thanks for sharing this information . I really liked this video and I think Comfybrace is great . I have couple of questions . Is Comfybrace available in India ? I searched it on Indian version of Amazon but It doesn't show the product . My second question is what is the difference between Posture braces and those posture correctors which cover the whole back in addition to what posture brace covers .
My Gea Rari will be here this Friday..! thank you sir.
This was so helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for this informative video. So, what is the BEST posture brace and what specific exercises and stretches do you recommend?
I had bruised armpits for a long time wearing these. I can't say it helped since my bad posture comes from being a nanny and bending a lot, also carrying kids all the time. I have constant pain caused by shoulder cuff, on my left arm, where I usually hold infants. I gave up of these and got myself one of those neoprene corset shaped belts, so I can tighten. Actually, that fixed my core much better, together with putting my stomach back in place. And somewhat natural I put my shoulders in a good position once I straighten up.
You want a chiropractor lol
@@trapbandicoot7877 No I don't. With their plans in thousands of $ that I cannot afford... I got myself a military grade roller and I crack my back as never before, not to mention all the good stretching and circulation it gives you. Then I stopped buying things. I already have shiatsu massagers, TENS unit for nerve issues of sprains, all the belts provided on Amazon, name it, but you know what actually helped.
To quit the stressful job that was also hurting me. I don't need any belts since for 3 months I'm not doing a nanny job anymore lol
I know if post is from a year ago, but what neoprene corset did you get? I struggle with pain and need some type of better spine support, rather than shoulder.
Omg 😍
Cute, witty, smart, loved how you put together the intro. I can tell that you are a special person to many. Thanks for this video xo
What a nice thing to say :) thank you, and thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. I hope you found it to be helpful ☺️
@@PTProgress I sure did :) . I ordered both Gearari and the Comfy, ended up keeping the Gearari and returning the comfy. It has helped quite a bit so far 👍🏻😁
Thank you so much! This has been very helpful!
Thanks for the content doc
Thanks for the review ! How long should one wear one ? I’d say my posture is mediocre - not the worst not the best
Thanks so much! You saved me hours of research
Thanks for a very useful info 👌
I have the 2nd best on your list..the comfy..I want to know how you keep it from hurting your arm pitts..if I do it to loose I feel I dont get the effect om supposed to
Is there a link for the gearari on Amazon by chance? I can't find the exact one. It comes up with a whole bunch of back braces, but not specifically gearari one.
When I went to see an orthotician, he gave me a lumbar brace, as he thought that would help my middle and upper back, as my middle and upper back are still painful, when I'm wearing the lombar brace and trying to bend or lean over as well as reach up high. Out of all the braces you talked about, which one would be for the middle and upper back? Thank you!
Question: is it helpful to use Brace or would they make the body lazy and dependent rather than to adjust on its own via poster correction exercises??
Thanks for the review.
It would've been nice to see how effective they actually are over time... and if your posture was any different after x amount of time.
From what I read, we have to work our back muscles in order to get it right, but this tool is a good reminder to not stay slouched over
@@CinHalCedHerChance work them as in strengthen the muscles in the back or stretch?
@@chooseyourfighter6112 Yes, correct. Sorry if I wasn't clear.
Wear it for a while. Then begin to lower the amount of time you spend with it on, little by little, keeping an eye on your posture. Eventually, you won’t need it anymore. But if you use it always, without rest, then you’ll just become dependent on and won’t actually fix your posture.
Does shoulder support helps after a month of using shoulder sling?
I have a shoulder feacture clavicle type
I ordered the comfy brace because of this video and it works great! Thank you so much for creating this video :)
Did it work
Hey! I’ve watched your videos on the topic of PT Schools’ costs. I’m actively following your advice while doing my school search. I would like to know if the 1:1 debt to income ratio includes living costs as part of the total school debt or should I keep that separate? Adding up living costs kinda makes it impossible to keep it on the 1:1 ratio or am I wrong?
Hey Janelylm - thanks for your comment! I recommend keeping all costs (tuition and living expenses) at the 1:1 level. Graduating with 80k of tuition debt plus $40k of additional 'living expense' debt still means you have $120k of student loans. Paying $120k of student loans on a 70k-80k salary is very challenging. You can see the video of the top 10 cheapest PT schools to find that it is possible to graduate with less than 80-100k of total student debt. Some students have even moved to a different state, lived there a year to gain residency, then applied to a cheaper school. It's possible, but it's not easy.
@@PTProgress Got it! Makes sense. Thank You!!!
Great video I’m thinking of buying your number 1 but would like to mention some things…
I don’t get any pain but I know I have rounded shoulders and lean forward because I’ve been told plenty times that I do. Should get get one even though I’m not in pain? Also…I was thinking of wearing tbis in the gym whilst lifting weights. Is tbis a good idea? Thanks again
hello, thank you for this very informative video. I am 60 years old and my right shoulder has always rolled forward more than my left. It appears to be worsening as I age. I am very active with swimming, cycling and running so I am over relatively fit for my age. Do you think a support could help balance this? Thanks again
This is an awesome vid!
I watched a few of these and unfortunately a different channel that also loved the gearari mentioned it got discontinued and supposedly the new model is being marketed as the original. The channel mentioned the difference is very noticeable and the original model was better. I really liked hearing your advice on it. Are you going to review more posture correctors in the future?
Great comment. I also watched the Posture Specialist and will order the Truweo corrector instead of this one.
I can’t seem to find any of them on Amazon.
Thank you so much orderd 2 of the one you liked the most.
How’s it working
Thanks, I have a slipped disc and the posture brace helps not slouch
I seen video that no these don't work to correct posture besides during the time it's being worn....does it actually correct the posture to point it's no longer needed ?
I ordered your favorite. Hoping it will help my poor posture and neck pain. Thank you for your honest reviews.
Hi Nancy! I hope you find it helpful! I have some new videos about exercises and stretches for upper back and neck pain coming soon.
Its been 2 months perhaps fill us in on an update? :)
@@joyrambin9196 how is it
Thank you very much for sharing. I have been suffering from shoulder and waist pain before. Later, my friend introduced me a posture corrector, which successfully relieved my pain and bad posture by physically correcting the incorrect posture. Hope to help more people: amz.run/4npN
It's been 11 months, how is it?
Thank you thank you thank you thank you for posting this video I didn't know which one to get and you made it so easy! Blessings
Thanks for watching!
Ordered your fave on Prime Day and got a great deal!
it seems like the gearari isn't available anymore. anybody know where I might be able to get my hands on one, or if there is a better one now, seeing as how this video is now 2 years old?
Which one do you think is best for lumbar lordosis?
Hey man so my grandma has a problem with the lower back pain cause of pelvis misalignment and the muscle between the joints has wasted in a part of her cervical spine and she’s been having problems bending down or even walking long distances. Would it be best for her to do some stretches first or would a correction vest help with her problems or at least ease the pain somewhat?
A brace is not the solution. Is she going to physical therapist right now? Sounds like she would really benefit from a specific exercise plan and also a PT assessment to identify ways to prevent pain with movements.
Why does the Amazon link to the Gea Rari look like a different brace than the one in the video?
Thanks for the video doctor! great review. have just subcribed to you channel
thank you kind sir 4 the informative vid
Great video, made me understand more. I have chronic back pain that makes it very difficult for me to work and sleep. The device I bought in the brace7 store has helped me and relieved a lot of painful moments. 👍👍
I have a question, how will you know it's cutting your circulation off?
They always say you need to work on muscles to keep good posture. But some of us have health problems and then you can only do easy exercise that doesn't give you any muscles. Posture is of course horrible cause of it. I'm thinking of getting one of these belts, I had one years ago and it really helped for a while.
Comfy brace is too small for my thiccc shoulders and chest. Very hard to reach for adjusting. Is your top choice built for thiccc people?
is there an update? the Gearari one is no longer available at least not on amazon
American Flag on the brace... impostures 😏
😂
😂
Nicely done 😂
Good one lol 😆
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I clicked the gea rari link and it took me to Vokka posture corrector... is it the same?
I noticed the design has changed for the Gea Rari posture brace. Would you still recommend it with the new design?
Following
What is the name of the 5th one, the one you said was best
People should definitely like yo shit fam really useful
Any brace to help correct lumbar lordosis/ posture?
Are there individuals who you would not recommend posture braces to in order to avoid worsening a existing? Just curious as a preDPT student
If you have an existing spine condition, it's always best to check with your doctor or PT to make sure it won't be worsened. Hard to list out all potential issues here.
Which is the best for women
68 k.g and 173 cm tall &
broad slim shoulder ????
Will the gea rari help with a neck hump?
How long time should i use it. Per day?
I was wondering how difficult or easy it is to get into these?
Thanks!
This video quality is crisp 🤌🏽
Where can I see the link for the last one?
So which one was the best
What camera do you use? The lighting is great too
Thanks! I use the EOS M6 Mark ii camera and 15-45mm lens :)
i am an elderly lady with very poor posture and balance. i have started doing some exercises to help but i would like to try one of the last two just to help remind me to stop slouching and hold my head up. do yo see any problem with wearing one for short periods during the day when i am most active?
Not at all, that’s a good approach and I hope the exercises help!
@@PTProgress Thanks so much for the prompt reply!
Your video was very helpful.
Does this help with fwd posture?
Would this help with mild scoliosis?
Hey, can you suggest me something that i can get in canada?
Hello, and thank you. I see the Gea Rari only comes in one size. How would that work for me? I'm 6' tall and 190lbs. Could this still work for me?
It should. I’m close to your dimensions
@@PTProgress I'm curious about how long you should wear one per day. 1 hour? 3 hours? All day?
@@darthracer777 his first video on this subject answers this question.
Thanks would you recommend one for my son he’s 9 years old
Thank you.
Thank you
should i get the shoulder ones or full back?
Didn't mention anything about the elastic braces? no adjusting the shoulder straps. seems to do the trick.
Thanks
I want to order for me lm small person but l noticed l must have correction on myp back
In most of your videos you talk about the debt not being worth it and if you could go back you might change your mind. The debt vs salary pushes the job away from me. However I like the idea of being able to work with patients and make actual good money. If there are other jobs similar that make good money as well I’d love to hear or even some ideas you’ve considered doing if you didn’t become a Pt.
Have you tried Back Medic?
So funny. I just bought this exact brace before watching the video. Today is 1/27/2022 and it is on a Lightning Deal with an additional 5% off coupon. I ended up paying $10.07 for it after all was said and done. Biggest issue is I will be waiting 5 weeks to get it according to the shipping estimate.
Has your posture gotten better?
Where did you purchase for $10?Thanks in advance .
How long does it usually take to correct posture?
I mean takes 21 days to build a habit lol
Thanks man, I am going to order “The bro”
Are these actually safe if you have scoliosis or osteoarthritis or some other spinal issues?
Same question
@This is The way thanks for the suggestion, but i dont have money for that
@This is The way My family doctor said he does not know if it is safe to use and to go ahead and try it if I choose to-it's up to me. What is wrong with you?
@This is The way I asked my family doctor first, obviously, and here I am seeking out other's opinions. Don't assume.
@This is The way Because I am seeking other opinions for my own interest. Why are you still talking to me? 🤣
There is no product available in India 😩😩that u mentioned...Can u pls suggest me any other better that can available in India too ?? Pls
Bro china is round the corner for you get it from a chinese shop..
Hi! In my case I've noticed that ever since I broke my upper humerus, my right shoulder blade protrudes a bit more, pushing my shoulder forward which is creating a hunched posture. Based on this would you recommend a posture brace and which one do you think would work best for it?
Watch the video he just explained it lazy ass
I’m having trouble explaining this but basically the top of my back protrudes and from the front of of me you can see it like the part of my shoulders by the bottom of my neck arent flat and I think it’s because of my posture but I have no idea how to fix it.
Do these fix nerd neck?
I just ordered your fav, my wife stole my first one, it just seemed to small.
I'm going to give it a try. I've tried to correct my own posture for awhile. But, I then get sick of it, or stop thinking about it and I'm right back to having bad posture. So, for $13, you can't go wrong. Worst case is I send it back or I lose $13. Thanks for the review.
what happened now? is your posture better 1 month later?
@@ngc_6205 No. I wore that thing for like, 3 days, didn't do a thing. You can still completely have bad posture with it on. It doesn't really pull your shoulders back. It feels more like a gun sling without the holster. LOL.
I mean, I guess it's mostly my fault. I guess they are more for reminding you to keep your shoulders back and neck straight. Hell, it's been 40 years, I think I'll be okay with bad posture.
@@darthollpheist1156 it seemed right to ask you because you have a picture of your pc as your pfp, so that kinda tells me that you have a bad posture right away lol.
@@ngc_6205 LOL. Yeah............. I do....... I assume you do too since you know I do just from my pic.... and the that you asked me about it.... and that you're on this video too. LOL.
@@darthollpheist1156 yeah we all do.
thankyou for existing
Do they look bad if you wear them under a shirt?
Yo guys i kinda look like a question mark "?" So imma try the gea rari brace and imma see if it works
Love from india .... And I orderd that brace
Found one very similar to his top pick at Five Below store yesterday for only $5. Working great so far.
My mom just came home from the us after 11 months and gave this to my sister and we don’t know how to use it lol
God. Had bad posture before I even got a computer and have done martial arts, all kinds of sports, gone to gym, dancing and yet I have a bad posture that even my doctor was surprised to hear back in the day. I want this fixed so bad
Update
Please update us
Did it make your penis bigger
Do these really work. It's kinda different. How will this actually fix your back/spine posture?
It pulls back your shoulder to a wide and healthy position due to its flexibility coming from its elastic materials.
@@user-tp8dm7kv3u so which brace you recommend that is good?
@@Herozonex200 But again, i'm speaking from the manufacture's persepctive but not the medical perspective. Maybe you want to do some more research before choose your product. but again, they all work like the same, so on functions, it should differ that much. Whether it's comfy or not is more important i think.
@@user-tp8dm7kv3u ok I'll do more research.
@@Herozonex200 so u found anything?
Ha!!! Gea Rari and Ferrari rhym!! Cute!
That shoutout to Seinfeld 🤌🏼🤌🏼
will this word for forward head posture?
Work*
Wish I would’ve saw this video first lol I bought the American flag one
Well bugger, the Gea Rari isn’t available anymore. 🤔
I got the comfy!
All these just hurt my armpits
4:35
Respectfully you look like a young James Rolfe
The flag is to remind you that it’s the work practices of the country that you need the brace.
Numb nuts comfybrace is far from comfortable and you can’t reach straps to adjust it!!!
Hi Robert - I’m sure they’d make an exchange or return if you have a hard time reaching the strap. Didn’t know my review would spark such anger - hope it doesn’t ruin your weekend.
