Do posture correctors actually work?
You may have caught yourself slouching and sitting in a poor posture at your desk at work or at home or when you are driving. However it is important to maintain a good posture for overall health and well-being as good postures can help us reduce strain on our muscles and joints, improve digestion, boost our mood, increase our energy levels, reduce brain fog, and make us feel more confident. However chronic slouching is a habit that’s hard to break and you may have tried a number of way to overcome this. One of the commonly recommended solution to manage a poor posture is a posture correction brace or a posture correctors. Lets discuss what these posture correction braces do and of they can actually correct your posture, in this blog.

Posture correctors are braces, that come in different shapes such as a corset or a harness that can help you achieve proper alignment at your shoulders and spine (midback, back, and neck) and lead to a good posture, when used correctly. So they can help you achieve a good posture, but you need to make the effort to maintain this good posture. This is similar to a standing desk that will give you the tools to avoid static sitting for long time but you still need to make the effort to manage a good posture while standing

If you decide to get a posture corrector, start wearing it for 20 minutes a day working your way to an hour and then onto a few hours in the day. You need to give time to your muscles, spine and surrounding structures to adjust to the ‘new’ posture slowly and gradually till it becomes a learned behaviour. In addition to this, it is very important to work on strengthening the muscles that help you to maintain a good posture such as spinal extensors and core muscles. So one hand you are giving feedback and retraining the brain to sit upright and on the other hand you are training the muscles that support a good posture. This holistic approach will help you to fix your poor posture and help get the maximum benefit out of your posture corrector. 

HERE is the one that I use and recommend.

MEET SWATI

 
Hi there! 
I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach & Certified Posture Expert

I help mums of young kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage back, neck, and nerve pain, even with low energy, brain fog, and little time to spare. My proven system delivers real relief without stealing hours from your already packed day. The result? More productive professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can be fully present with their kids, instead of being sidelined by pain.



My passion comes from personal experience. I’ve been where you are: in pain, overwhelmed, and exhausted. After two pregnancies in three years, juggling my kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was stuck in a constant cycle of back and nerve pain. The physical load of motherhood added strain to my spine and joints. Meanwhile, adrenal fatigue left me drained, even after 10–12 hours of sleep.

Everyday tasks became a struggle. I was forgetful, foggy, and low on energy. Even as a trained physiotherapist and posture expert, I couldn’t escape my own pain. I stood all day at work, spent evenings on the laptop, rocked my kids to sleep, sat through endless meetings, traveled frequently ... I’ve been through it all.

I kept my pain hidden at work, afraid to speak up. I felt like a fraud, someone who coached others on relief strategies but couldn’t find relief herself. I loved my job and my children, but I couldn’t give 100% to either. Pain was holding me back.

One New Year, I made a resolution: to get healthy, not just fix pain, fatigue, or weight. I focused on reducing inflammation, healing my adrenal fatigue, and reclaiming my energy. Slowly but surely, the pain faded. I lost weight, my brain fog cleared, and my energy skyrocketed. Today, my pain is nearly gone. I feel stronger, clearer, and more in control than I have in years.
And now, I want that for you.

I combine professional expertise with lived experience to support other mums like me, those with young kids, high-stress jobs, and no time for complicated health programs. I’ve helped hundreds of women reduce spinal and joint pain, lift their energy, and clear the mental fog that holds them back.

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. I’ve been there. I got you, mommy!

Let’s get you feeling strong, confident, and fully present at work and at home.
Are you ready to start? Curious about how this works? Just ask.

Let's DO THIS!
