Hi could this be used as a transition between a hard medical brace (like an Aspen or Miami J) and going brace free? Does it provide any support or is it just a reminder to correct posture?
I love this brace but you guys need to use better glue and sand/texture the metal rods and where they adhere. I've had a lot of these over the past year because they only last a few months before breaking or wearing out. They have helped my severely weakened neck heal and rebuild muscle by preventing further injury and giving my muscles a hand though! If you buy this just know may need to repair it with superglue at some point... but it works for me...
@@niggagaming249 it doesn't exactly straighten the neck, i would say, but it provides extra support so if you have weak muscles or joint problems, it helps hold your head up and take strain off the neck. It can go tight around your neck, but it also depends on the individual. For me it prevented repeated injury due to my muscles not being strong enough to hold everything up without subluxation, which helped my neck get stronger and now I don't need it anymore after a year or two of using it and physio :)
Couple Hours a day, preferably when you'd most likely be using bad posture, good example would if your a desk worker wear while your at the desk for your shift and then remove it, if your a student during class periods, this will make sure your not wearing it so long that you'll weaken the muscles and will help to retrain your body during the time when you'd most likely have incorrect posture/neck alignment. After a few months wear it for half the time tour use to and observe if your keeping the proper posture without it(by then your body will be conditioned to the proper posture). You can then choose to wear it occasionally to check your alignment/posture similar to how one would check their teeth alignment with a retainer after a few years

How tight can you make it? Can it straighten the neck completely?

how long shold you wear this during the day? will not this weaken your neck muscles in the long run?

Thats a lie that physical therapists want to tell you
