Posture Trainer Back and Lumbar Support

I must say I've had to go through a lot of ergonomics products over the years since I have a desk job, suffered a sports injury a while back, and in general don't pay attention to my bodily well being.The Posture trainer is easily the best purchase among those as it quickly improved my quality of life 8+ hours a day. It took a little getting used to but over the course of a few days it is very clear why it is better than a traditional lumbar support.A typical lumbar support doesn't work over any decent amount of time because it usually tries to address your lower back by pushing it in and propping it up. It sounds reasonable because the lower back is usually the most fatigued or painful after sitting for hours without a good posture. But that only addresses the symptom and offers relief for a short time. The lack of the support in the middle and upper back makes me lie back into the chair first for a while, semi-lounging, but since I am still typing and working away on my desk, I would lean back forward into the desk, now simply a few inches outside the chair. After 10 mins I am back to hunching over my desk with my spine in the C shape I had before.The posture trainer, in comparison, forces my middle section of my back forward while allowing the lower back to stay a little behind. This follows the natural S shape of a healthy spine and prevents the middle section of my spine from collapsing or dropping behind into the unsustainable C shape mentioned earlier. With this better posture, I would avoid placing too much lateral pressure on my lower spinal discs that is usually the source of back pain.On occasions I also notice that my shoulder is more aligned with my collar bone in height, and my chest is more open for better breathing. I say on occasions because such posture now comes more naturally to me, as if an afterthought, instead of having to remind myself to sit up straight every 10 mins but inevitably fail.The same goes if I'm driving -- I don't drive a whole lot compared to how much I work on a desktop computer, but the principles are the same. It pushes forward the portion of your spine that is supposed to curve forward so that it is in a healthy shape rather than making me "lounge" away from the steering wheel, rear view mirrors, and turn signals -- everything in front I need to attend to.Let's be clear, the human body is designed for walking and running around, or simply lying down and sleep -- it is not for sitting for hours on end. But as long as you, like me, have a living to make in an office chair or in a driver's seat, Posture Trainer is your best shot at making it more natural and making it last.

I use this for back pain and it does a good job. I bought this second one for use in the car. For the price of this thing the manufacturer could at least provide a decent quality bicycle pump. The pump arrived broken, the packaging had obviously been opened and crudely stapled back together, and didn't even include the pump needle. I know I can get a low cost pump, but the manufacturer should not provide anything that is defective/shoddy, especially at this price.

I have a problem with imbalance of the muscles of my lower back. I had it for years. So I've tried a lot of solutions from Amazon. Non has worked as good as this one. When I say, I have tried a lot, believe me, I've done! lol. Many chairs too.I work everyday in a desk, and this is an amazing product. It curves to your back really good, and it keeps you there. It is not uncomfortable. I'm very glad this product was invented, I almost lost hope of finding something that I could use without even thinking about it. I highly recommend it.

The Posture Trainer has truly changed how I feel about sitting for hours a day at my "desk job". Being an active 24-year old, it did not occur to me that sitting with bad posture for long periods of time would effect my daily life, even at such a young age. For months, I found my posture getting worse and eventually led to pain in my back and shoulders. I was constantly uncomfortable and the pain was steadily growing stronger.I ordered the Posture Trainer and all my pain and discomfort disappeared. It took a few days to get used to and a few position adjustments, but it quickly became the best thing to happen to me. I was amazed at the quality of lumbar support it provides and how it has changed my natural posture in such a short period of time. My productivity has increased greatly, as I can now focus on my work instead of the pain my poor posture was unknowingly causing me.This is truly an amazing product and I wholeheartedly believe everyone that sits for long periods of time would benefit from it. I will forever be grateful to the Posture Trainer for improving my overall quality of life!

I’ve had back problems for a little over a year now and have tried various solutions to resolving it. Some of my issues included degenerative discs and a forward tilted pelvis along with a flat back. These back issues were so bad that they were having a detrimental impact on my very active lifestyle. Fortunately, I was recommended by a friend to try the posture trainer and I can definitely say I don’t know what I would do without it. The posture trainer has not only completely alleviated my back issues but I can also definitely feel a difference in the strength of my back muscles even when I’m not using it. Before the posture trainer I had to cut back on my active lifestyle and now I am full throttle in all of the activities that I do. I didn’t realize what a detrimental impact sitting at a desk hunched over a computer for 8 hours a day can have on your body. Besides relieving my back pain my posture has improved tremendously and I look so much better in pictures because I am not slouched and hunched over like I used to be. The posture trainer is comfortable and not too bulky or stiff and with the air pump I can easily adjust the pressure to my wants and needs. I do yoga and didn’t realized how much I wasn’t activating my pelvic floor, which if you do yoga you know how important that is for everything! Now I can feel my pelvic floor muscles activating and strengthening with the proper posture and alignment the posture trainer provides. I seriously recommend the posture trainer to anyone with back issues or for anyone who just wants to improve or maintain good posture. It is a worthwhile investment in yourself, which is the most important investment you will ever make!
