Individuals who struggle with postural issues might want to wear posture correcting devices. The devices are available in a range of styles, and they help provide support and stability for muscles that may be weak. Over time, the use of posture correcting devices could improve spinal alignment and increase the wearer's awareness of their posture. Patients can choose from physical correctors, including elastic braces, molded braces, and longline braces, and there are also electronic posture reminders. Since overuse of these devices could make muscles weaker, patients should check with a physician or physical therapist before wearing a posture corrector. Healthcare providers can perform assessments to determine if the patient would benefit from using the devices, and they can recommend posture correctors that will be most suitable for the patient's health needs. Most importantly, they will be able to advise the patient on how frequently the device should be worn, and they can instruct the patient on how to wear the device safely.
