Does this help with neck posture? My neck is bent forward quite a lot, but my back posture is fairly decent...

Also...I'm skeptical about these as I've heard they train your muscles to be lazy – the brace does lots of the work, so when you take it off old habits kick in because you're muscles can't do the same job the brace was doing.

But I guess the limit of 20–60 mins a day is to prevent that?

$20 is really cheap for this kind of value prop.

Have you tried it yourself? Not doubting, just always have some skepticism of reviews on Amazon haha

I got an el-cheapo one from Staples. Same idea, same shape, etc. It helps a lot, but it takes some fiddling to dial in the right amount of tension pulling your shoulders back.

I'm also looking for recommendations of back braces if anyone here is using one.

You also need to do strength training.
