Upper Back Posture Supports There are posture supports that pull the shoulders back, even T-shirts can have built in posture supports now. Poor posture occurs due to weakness, which can cause people to jump to using these posture supports. We provide a serious word of caution because these supports feel good - that’s due to your body not doing the work and being in a good position. They’re often used so that you can withstand longer hours doing repetitive activities. We have posture supports built into our body, they’re called muscles and can get stronger with the right persistence. We’re not designed to sit at desks for hours on end.  Lower Back Posture Supports / Bodybuilding Belts Weightlifting belts might be gravitated towards in the gym. The belt would sit just above the hips, but the most commonly injured discs do set below this level. Generally the belt will protect the middle of the lumbar spine, which forces strain directly to those commonly injured segments. If you’re using it due to an injury in those discs, it’s only making the problem worse because of the segments it’s protecting. The only reason to use these would be a very high level powerlifter.  If you’re using a fabric lumbar support belt, these resemble more of a corset. The use of these will be more specific. If you’ve got a very severe back issue and are having to make a long journey by car or by plane. Sit it lower so that it covers the whole lumbar spine and only use it for the day you’re travelling if you are usually unable to move for no more than a few minutes without pain.
