text: It might not be something you should use by itself, there needs to be a stretch and strengthening routine coupled to it, but I will say, that I have been suffering from low back pain, from a bulging disc, and this brace takes a lot of pressure away from my discs by modifying my posture. I can stand for longer, I can sit for longer, and I don’t even feel the constant presence of pain in the area while I wear it. Even though this targets my upper back and shoulders, it has provided great relief to my lower back. It didn’t solve my issue, but it helps a lot.
