Improve your posture with a posture brace

A realistic image of a woman in an office environment, sitting at her desk, arching her back and holding her back with a worried expression as she has back pain due to poor posture.

A forward-slouched posture is becoming more common as we become more sedentary. Sitting in front of a computer for long periods of time or having poor posture at work can lead to pain and stiffness in the back, neck and shoulders. Good posture reduces strain on the body, improves breathing and also gives a more confident impression.

To achieve better posture, you can use a posture vest or a posture belt – simple but effective aids that provide support, remind the body of the correct position and can speed up the path to a more upright posture.

What does a posture vest or posture belt do?

1. Provides support and relief

A posture vest relieves statically tense muscles in the back and shoulders. It can reduce pain and stiffness that often occur after long periods of sedentary work.

2. Reminds the body of the correct position

The posture vest acts as a physical reminder – it makes it harder to slouch and easier to keep your shoulders back and your back straight. Over time, your body will get used to the better position, even without the vest.

3. Activates the muscles

Unlike passive support, a posture vest encourages muscle activation. It helps the body work towards a more natural, upright posture.

4. Comfortable and flexible design

Modern posture vests are soft, flexible and can be worn under clothing. They are adjustable to fit different body types and can be used both during the workday and for lighter physical activity.

Posture vest + training = best results

A posture vest cannot replace exercise, but is a valuable complement. For best long-term results, you should combine the use of the vest with training of the back, shoulder and core muscles. This will build strength and endurance to maintain good posture even without aids.


Summary – strengthen your posture in the short and long term

A posture vest or posture belt gives you:

  • Direct support for the back and shoulders
  • Reduced pain and stiffness when sitting still
  • A reminder to maintain an upright posture
  • Possibility to gradually train the body's natural posture

At Rehaboteket you will find several varieties of posture vests and posture straps – comfortable, discreet and adapted to different needs.
