If you are looking for ways to improve your posture, it may be time to consider trying a good postural or support bra. Let's be clear, simply wearing a support bra will not magically fix your posture or back pain. What it will do, however, is provide very good back support and "remind" you to self-correct your alignment. Combined with some simple habits, many posture bras can significantly help improve your posture.
First, it helps to understand the specific bra characteristics and how they are designed. The main distinguishing feature of these bras is superior upper back and shoulder support - the bra essentially pulls your shoulders up and back to alleviate pressure. Most of them are constructed with reinforced bands then designed to criss-cross in the back. They will not have underwires because of this design. Some of the longline designed bras will also have back and body support panels for additional support. Others have a pullover athletic design.
How can a posture bra actually help your postural alignment? The design causes the bra to pull your shoulders in - this serves as a reminder for you to keep your shoulders in and to also sit up straight. Yes, there is some work for you to do! Activate your muscles in the neck, back, and shoulders to keep you posture aligned - head level, shoulders back, lower back straight. The posture bra lends great support but cannot do all the work - it is the trigger that reminds you to engage the correct muscles.
If you already have fairly poor posture, you should use a posture bra and combine it with the relevant neck and back postural exercises. The posture bra will provide excellent support so that you can strengthen these muscles up slowly.
If you already have decent posture, the posture bra can serve as an excellent maintenance and preventative device. It is especially effective for people that are in seated positions for extended periods - for example office workers, drivers, etc.
To summarize, if you have the right expectations and are willing to help your muscles get stronger, a posture bra will improve and maintain your posture significantly.
