Any back brace to correct hunched posture?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly`: I will sometimes use a corrective brace if there is no chance of improvement in improving posture with muscle strengthening program. It is not the best way to go in most cases as it only weakens the muscles more but will use it as a last resort.
