With how much time people spend hunched over computers and phones, poor posture has become more prevalent, and with it the rise in interest in posture correction devices.
My question is do these devices actually work?
From what I've seen most are a harness you wear that pushes/pulls on your body in such a way that makes it easier to stand or sit correctly.
However, isn't poor posture a result of not using the muscles that keep you in proper position enough such that over time they weaken, making it harder for people to maintain proper positioning? If so, I don't see how these devices ultimately help. They may help while wearing the device but they are doing the work the muscles would normally do and thus you aren't actually strengthening them so when you take it off wouldn't you be no better off?
Or am I totally wrong about how this works?
