"I did not find this brace any help at all:
It is awkward to put on
It will rub on the front of your shoulders
Straps will slide of your shoulders if not very tight

Take a deep breath - pull your shoulders up
then breathe out slowly and roll your shoulders back and down.
This works better!!

"I'd been out of riding for about 2 years, and my tendency to round my shoulders (I'm the tall and lanky kind) has gotten even worse now that I'm back in the saddle. I knew I needed some aid in order to help build the correct muscles needed to sit tall on my own, and a friend recommended this product to me. What a device! I wear it every day for a few hours, on or off the horse, and afterwards there is visible improvement. It's like having your own personal chiropractor - as my muscles relax, my back cracks - it's wonderful!
If you do decide to buy it, though, be prepared to wear a t-shirt under it, as you won't want to wear it directly on the skin. Wearing two shirts is lighter than show clothes though, so it's not usually a problem!"

"I actually purchased this because I have an extremely weak right shoulder due to scar tissue. I have constant pain, but I have found that while wearing the Shoulders-back nearly all of my pain is alleviated. It's helped improve my balance in the saddle and during weight training as well. Can't say enough good things about it! You do need to wear it on top of a base layer as it will cause chaffing on the skin. I've also found that I can only wear it about 6-7 hours at a time. Totally worth the money. Great device to help you improve your posture!"

"As an "older equestrian", the Equifit shoulders back garment helps with improving my posture when riding as well as when I'm working on the computer. It doesn't "force" your shoulders into the correct position automatically, but helps "remind" you what good posture feels like. As a result, it has helped reduce shoulder pain overall and assists in improving my seat and balance when on my horse. Thanks!"

"I tore my rotator cuffs a few months ago, and even after physical therapy my shoulder stayed kind of caved in. I bought this in hopes it would "train" my shoulder to be in the right position. I started wearing it around the house, and noticed a change in my posture after just a few uses (30 minutes at a time, while I did household chores). I then started riding in it, and my posture improved and my shoulders were no longer making me unbalanced."

"This really works! It keeps my shoulders back and my trainer is saying less and less about my position. The stitching on one of the velcro straps did come up, but my mom easily sewed it back down. It might have been my own fault, though."

"I recently purchased your Shoulders Back - I love it and have recommended it to everyone I know. I wear it riding, driving, working on my ranch. I haven't had any chafing at all, it's very comfortable. I can't imagine anything happening to it because it's very well made - but if something did I would immediately order another. It's so worth the price and has made my life so much easier and pain free."

"I purchased this item actually not for riding but to help correct my habit of slumping my shoulders while on the computer, desk, etc. which a lot of times would end not only sore shoulders/neck but a headache. It does work. My only suggestion is the way it cuts under the arms. I first purchased a youth/adult, then the large because it cut under my arms, but went back to the youth/adult because there was no difference in the width of the back between the straps so they both cut equally sharp under my arms. The difference in size was just the band length. It definitely works, but personally I think it would annoy me while riding."

"I've been using a Shoulder's Back for years and always recommend them to people who may have trouble maintaining good posture, and who tend to ride more on their own than in lessons. Its a great reminder to lift your chest.
Do wear it over at least a short sleeve shirt. I used to wear it under my shirt and it caused rub marks in my armpit area. Also if you tend to have bad posture all the time I recommend wearing all day for several days."

"My trainer is always telling me to keep my shoulders back, so this seemed like an obvious purchase. Ever since I bought it my trainer has complained about my position less and less and I can really feel the difference. The only negative is that the material rubs the skin so you have to wear it over you shirt."

"When I first received the Shoulders Back in the mail my initial impression was "Oh I just spent nearly $50 on some material and strips of velcro". However, after riding in it, my view totally changed and it was soooo worth the money.
Both my trainers remarked what a huge difference it made to my upper body in terms of my shoulders not being rounding and as a result opening up my upper body. It has also hugely helped to reduce my shoulder and back pain.
Highly recommended!"

"ShouldersBack has helped alleviate my upper back pain both on and off the horse. It's really improved my posture and helped me build muscle memory to be able to maintain it without wearing the brace. My only complaint is that it chafes under my arms, so you have to wear an undershirt with it. With the summer heat, I've had to devise another solution. Cut the toes off a pair of bobby socks and stick the straps of the ShouldersBack through the "sock tube" and adjust the socks from there. Adds some bulk but really helps."

"My first lesson while wearing my EquiFit was the first lesson I didn't hear, "Shoulder's back," constantly. It doesn't replace good technique, nor can it make a bad rider good, but it can make a good rider better. I found out that my trainer even uses one once in a while for herself... Since I spend so much on aids for my horse, it makes sense to spend a little on aids for myself!"

"I measured myself and bought the youth/adult. Had to send for the bigger one, but opted to keep the smaller one, because there was not enough tension on the big one. The first 10 min were very painful. I kept it on for two hours and the relieve was immense. The next day my headache was gone and I stood straight. . The next day my headache was gone and I stood straight. I wear it now on a regular basis, when I drive the bus. I have to agree the straps cut in the armpit, but I think I can alter it by putting the straps of an old bask bag under them."
