Are posture correctors worth it?
Well, I think they do help BUT... constant conscious awareness is better. Using a foam roller on the mid back and strengthening those muscles is a better option. Stand against a wall touching the heels, butt, shoulders and head. FEEL IT! This is good posture. READ MORE
