How To Permanently Fix Bad Posture Forever (And Ease Back Pain)
Ben Singleton | Saturday, July 23, 2022
My back has been absolutely killing me lately.
I mean it. It had gotten to the point where I didn’t want to do anything on my feet after I was done with work… all I wanted to do was lay down. But, even that was painful…
You see, as a writer, when I’m working, I’m sitting. That means every day, 8 hours a day (or more), I’m sitting hunched over a computer, typing away. Sure, when my back gets stiff, I stretch. But, then I go right back to hunching over my computer. The pain got so bad, it was affecting the rest of my life, too…
Normally, I like to get out and take a walk every morning. But my back pain was making it so I didn’t even want to put on my shoes… And, being hunched over all the time was actually causing my body to compensate in my sleep, leaving me with a stiff neck in the morning… Plus, I can’t even roughhouse with my young son anymore, the pain’s so bad. And he’s only four!
Well, I am not the type of person to let something rule my life, even if it’s excruciating back pain. So, I went to physical therapy for 6 months… I did the exercises and stretches I was supposed to… I got heat and ice packs for my back muscles… and, I even got those special pillows you’re supposed to sit on. I even got so desperate, I went and saw a chiropractor…
He took one look at me and told me my posture was absolutely terrible. In fact, he said it was so bad, I was actually standing an inch and a half shorter that my actual height! Well, after he realigned my spine, the pain was gone… only to return a week later!
Now, going to the chiropractor too often is bad for you, so that’s a route that I haven’t been back down. But I still needed answers…
You see, even though all those “remedies” helped a little bit, the pain never truly went away. Because, I wasn’t addressing the root of the problem… being hunched over my computer for hours a day…
Well, after all that, wouldn’t you know that I found the answer I was looking for, literally right next to me…
You see, my coworker Dave has the best posture I’ve ever seen, so I decided to ask him for some “tips”…
Now, I’d always assumed Dave had such great posture because he was brought up by a disciplinarian father who brought out the belt if he’d ever seen him slouch over. Boy, was I wrong…
Turns out, Dave had the same problem as me… he used to get back pain from hunching over and typing all day. But, now, he had help when it came to sitting up straight…
He unbuttoned his shirt and pulled off some kind of strap that was going around his chest and shoulders, then handed it to me and told me to put it on. He told me it was the TrueFit Corrector, and I’d never suffer from back pain ever again…
What is it?
The TrueFit Corrector is a simple device that goes around your shoulders and chest, to keep you sitting with perfect posture all day long. It can be worn under any shirt, and you can’t even tell it’s there.
How does it work?
Wearing the back brace not only keeps you sitting in perfect posture, but it actually keeps you sitting and standing in perfect posture even after you take it off! It does this by developing muscle memory over time, meaning you’ll naturally stand with perfect posture without even realizing it.
Plus, this will completely eliminate most back and neck pain, because your body is finally in the position it was designed to be in!
Who is using the TrueFit Posture Corrector?
People of all ages are finally sitting and standing the way they’re meant to with TrueFit. From those people like me who sit at a desk all day long, to those of us who slouch on the couch while watching some tv. Now, we can relieve our back pain while we relax…
I made a list, and couldn’t believe how many real benefits there actually were…
- Gives you perfect posture & improves body alignment
- Reduces back, neck and shoulder pain
- Makes you look taller, slimmer and more confident
- Strengthens muscles and prevents further damage
- Improves breathing
- Speeds up injury recovery
- And more…
Would this be my saving grace?
There I was, standing there as Dave strapped the TrueFit onto me. It was actually quite simple to do, and he had it on in ten seconds. Once I put it on, I sat down in my chair. And, I could not believe what I felt…
Sure, I was sitting straight up, but there was a difference from when I did it without the strap…
It was completely effortless! Now, I was sitting with perfect posture, and it was like I wasn’t even trying! And, I even kept it on for the rest of the day and never slouched once! Plus, it was just so easy to do!
Even when I was standing, I could notice a huge difference. I got up and looked in the mirror, and, WOW, I could barely believe it was me standing there! I just looked so… confident… I truly felt like I could take on the world!
Now, I’m a big guy, (6’ 2”, 200 lbs.,) and even I felt taller! I felt like I’d been “hiding” for the past few years, if you can understand what I mean…
Well, all this caused a buzz around the office, so everyone wanted to try it. Mike, who’s even taller than I am, and much heavier, put it on and the straps adjusted right to him. Then, little 5’ 2” Karen put it on, and it worked for her! Talk about One Size Fits All.
I knew I had to have one. So I ordered it on their website and it arrived in the mail just three days later. Now, as a writer, I’m a stickler for documenting everything. So, I kept a journal on my experience for the next 30 days…
My 30-Day Experience with the TrueFit
Day 1 – A little discomfort, but not bad. Body isn’t used to perfect posture. Moving is fine, doesn’t feel restricting. Feeling muscles in my back that haven’t been used in a long time. We’ll see how this works…
Day 7 – I’ve upped the amount of time I wear it to 2 hours a day. Back pain is definitely decreasing. Neck doesn’t feel as stiff when I look from side to side.
Day 15 – Been wearing the TrueFit pretty much all day at work. Don’t even notice anymore… very comfortable. After work, brace comes off… posture is still good for rest of day, even when not wearing it. Back pain significantly reduced.
Day 30 – Have decreased the amount of time with brace to once every few days. Don’t need it much anymore, just use it so that my back muscles “remember” the way they’re supposed to be. Posture is perfect, and the pain feels like a distant memory. Been playing with Joey (my son) more now. Feels good to wrestle with him again.
Here is a before and after photo of how much my posture has improved after 30 days…
How much does it cost? Is it worth it?
The TrueFit costs $29.95. Honestly, that price surprised me. After paying for the chiropractor and all those different “remedies,” I was expecting something in the $80-100 range.
I definitely think it’s worth it. Not only is the price good on its own, but it’s for your health, and you really can’t put a price on being healthy… Whether you have back pain or simply want to get better posture, I definitely recommend the TrueFit.
