The article from MSN discusses the effectiveness of posture correctors, devices designed to help improve posture by realigning the spine and shoulders.

Physical therapists and chiropractors emphasize that these devices should be used in conjunction with exercises that strengthen the muscles supporting the spine, like the core, back, and shoulder muscles. Over-reliance on posture correctors without addressing underlying muscle weaknesses or imbalances can lead to dependency and might even weaken muscles further. The consensus is that while posture correctors can be part of a broader strategy to improve posture, they are most effective when combined with regular physical activity, ergonomic adjustments, and conscious effort to maintain good posture habits.
