OTC Elastic Posture Support

The OTC Professional Orthopaedic Elastic Posture Support brace is a product designed to aid and encourage proper posture naturally. Proper spinal posture is a simple but important thing to maintain. Proper posture can prevent back pain by encouraging muscle strength in the back, prevent conditions like scoliosis, and can help a person appear more confident. The OTC Elastic Posture Support is not a poor posture corrector, but rather, a gentle wrap that provides tension on the back, encouraging the user to support their upper body naturally. This product contours to your form for comfort, is easy to put on, and resists chafing. Its wide straps hold to the form without putting an uncomfortable level of pressure on the skin, providing an all-around more comfortable experience. This product (OTC 2452) is worn over clothing and is latex-free to prevent allergic reactions in the user. To encourage better posture while sitting, this product matches well with a Posture Seat Wedge.

Good Posture

Having good posture can save you from a lot of unnecessary pain. Since we at Vitality Medical prefer a pain-free lifestyle, investing in proper posture is something simple you can do to greatly benefit your future self down the road. The Mayo Clinic points out that poor posture can cause a myriad of problems. These include headaches, back and neck pain, knee, hip, and foot pain, shoulder pain, jaw pain, fatigue, and breathing problems. That's a lot of pain that can be simply avoided. But enough about that, how can you improve your posture? The best way is simply to practice. Using items like OTC's elastic posture support can help you get started. The idea is to stand so that the back of your head, shoulder blades, and glutes are perfectly aligned. One way you can easily check at home if you're walking with proper posture is to simply stand with your back up against a wall. If all three of these parts of your body are touching the wall, you're good to go.
