It pains me (literally) to admit this as a health editor and certified yoga instructor, but I've struggled with poor posture and neck and upper back pain my entire life. I've always had a hard time standing and sitting up straight—even as a little kid!—and while yoga has worked wonders for me over the years, I would still love to hunch less.I still remember the lengths I went to in the months leading up to my wedding seven years ago, so determined not to see photos of myself all hunched over on the big day. I got regular massages (can't complain about that!), did extra yoga and decided not to wear heels because the very act of trying to balance might make my posture worse. So when I saw how ramrod-straight Taylor Swift's posture was during her Eras tour while wearing Louboutin boots, I was obviously impressed.?SIGN UP for tips to stay healthy & fit with the top moves, clean eats, health trends & more delivered right to your inbox twice a week?I knew from research that she was spotted wearing the Forme Power Bra during her rehearsals, a posture-correcting sports bra designed to help you stand up straighter by semi-forcing your back and shoulders into proper alignment. At $182, it isn't cheap, but when I got the opportunity to try it, I jumped at the chance. Could this be the solution to my hunched shoulders and the tech neck I'd simply learned to live with?Related: Here's Exactly How Often to Do Squats to Improve Lower Body Strength, According to Personal Trainers
My Review of the Taylor Swift Forme Posture-Correcting Bra
I wish I could say I had the willpower to wear it 100% of the time, but New York is currently experiencing an oppressive heatwave, and I just need something that makes me feel a little freer most of the time. But I have spent the past few weeks wearing it for all my workouts, which include indoor cycling workouts and yoga classes.And honestly? It's making a huge difference. Because of my poor posture (a physical therapist once told me that the upper portion of my back literally does not move, making straightening it very hard), if I'm not extra careful during workouts, I end up with some soreness in my neck and shoulders the next day...and not the good kind. And while wearing this bra isn't the most comfortable experience, it does keep everything aligned while I'm exercising, which is a huge deal.
Look at those shoulders rolled back!The Verdict
Whether your motivation for standing up straighter is related to wanting to project confidence, reduce pain or both, I personally think the high price tag on the Forme Power Bra is well worth it. Even though it's not my favorite bra to put on, in just a few weeks I've noticed less pain in my shoulders, back and neck, and a difference in my posture even when I'm not wearing it.
