I have medical issues that cause posture problems and chronic pain. It has not been easy at all to find a good shoulder brace that is comfortable and effective but this one is totally worth it. The straps are cushy and comfortable but not bulky, it provides the perfect amount of support without being too restrictive. Overall this design is extremely thoughtful, comfortable and durable. I definitely notice a difference at the end of a work day when I wear this versus when I don’t.
