ITA-MED TLSO-251 Consumer Report

ITA-MED TLSO-251 Review by butron

This product came in about 4 days ago, and i'm trying to make it a habit on wearing it as often as i can. I work from home so I spend a lot of time walking and sitting like I 'work from home'.

I believe this product won't help you with any back problems or posture issues concerning your back, but I do believe it works great for your shoulders and as long as your shoulders are back and aligned that should let you be conscious if your back is slouching down. Your under arms may hurt the first days using the product, that means you just have a real slouching issue and it's helping you correct it.

There is no product out there that will correct years of bad posture without giving you some sort of discomfort! and if there is then it's not correcting your bad posture.

This product will correct slouching shoulders (by force/pain)
This product may correct a slouching back. (by your own will)
This product will not correct any neck issues.

You never really feel yourself slouching down, until you see yourself in a reflection or maybe once in a while remind yourself "don't slouch" well this product (worn) will always remind you "keep your shoulders back" and then have you thinking "you may also want to straighten your back"

Overall I'm happy I made this purchase. It's something that has been bothering me for a while now I feel its working, slowly but surely.

***ALSO! I read about two reviews that said this company's size chart is way off, and that you need to order one size smaller... (if your a large order a medium)
not in my case, I'm a medium and sometimes even a small; so i decided to go with a Small size of this product. It was way too small! Should have ordered a medium. velcro straps were way too small, I luckily had some extenders so i was able to make it work without having to return it. so I would suggest to ORDER YOUR SIZE.

ITA-MED TLSO-251 Review by T. Pruyt "Troy" (San Jose, CA)

According the the current sizing chart, I needed a medium brace. I ordered a large to ensure fit, and found that I STILL could not even get the straps to come within 5 inches of each other to close it.

I noticed that the sizing chart included with the item is COMPLETELY different than the chart listed here on the website, but even by it's own information still should have fit and the item is grossly undersized. (When it should have been too big!!)

Also, there's absolutely no way you could wear this under clothes without it being seen.

Finally, according to the instructions, you need your doctor to customize the brace for you. If wanted that, I wouldn't be shopping online.

Terrible product.

ITA-MED TLSO-251 Review by Nicholas

Not at all what I expected. It's not clear how to wear it and it can't be worn under clothing that easily. A waste of money.
