Years ago when when people spoke of getting a back supporter they usually meant big bulky devices with springs or some other kind of equally cumbersome material that looked and felt unnatural.
Those days are over.
With the advent of modern technology and space flight new super light weight materials with incredible flexibility and strength have been developed so neither you or an observer would ever know that you are wearing a back supporter.
Now you can get an all purpose back supporter, posture corrector, rolled into one.
If you are inclined to have a weak spine or poor posture, you can get a posture corrector that covers every necessity.
Also if you are overweight and need to reverse the effects of gravity a back supporter may be good for you.
In my case when I was on a diet the back supporter gave me that extra support I needed when I became hungry and tired, as I have a tendency to stoop over when I feel fatigued.
The good thing about a back support/corrector device is that while it is supporting your back it is also retraining your body to use different muscles to correct your posture.
  It doesn't happen overnight but you will be surprised at how quickly your body will respond to this kind of rehabilitative treatment.
Even if you have a tendency to slouch over a posture corrector can quickly reverse this tendency and can also save you from asking for a shoulder massage.
Also related areas will benefit such as neck pain and lower back pain.
 Posture correctors now have straps that go over your shoulders so while keeping your abdominal muscles tightly squeezed against your spine and  the straps will also pull your shoulders up and back giving you a very straight upright look and feel.
Also you can get either the ones with stiff material to support you if need to do a lot of bending or loose material that will just support your natural look and feel.
Sometimes these devices tend to run large so if it doesn't fit snugly make sure you can get an exchange.
