Forme® For Round Back

Round back, or habitual slouching, is usually a result of chronic poor posture and weak spinal muscles.

It's often marked by an excessive curve in the spine, which can give a slouched, hunched-over appearance. Round back is usually correctable at a young age, but can become the fixed hunchback we often witness in the middle aged to elder population. Round back is also becoming an alarming public health issue due to habitual reliance on mobile device usage and gaming starting at a young age.

What are the symptoms of round back?

Symptoms of round back can include a hunched appearance with rounded shoulders, stiffness and pain in the back, breathing problems from compressed lungs, as well as weakness and muscle fatigue.

What causes round back?

Round back is often caused by poor posture, as well as common spinal conditions such as kyphosis, ankylosing spondylitis, arthritis, fractures, disc degeneration, scoliosis, and muscular dystrophy.

What people are saying

"Great product, it improves my posture immediately. I have slept in this shirt and also played golf in it. The difference is instant, and the effects of posture correction/training are lasting. I’m much more aware when I hunch now without the Forme tee on. Highly recommend."

Brandon D.

"I've noticed in recent photos that I'm not standing as straight as I feel I do. At 73, I don't want to end up hunched over in the future. After only wearing the Core Tee for a few hours each day, I can tell it will make a difference. I wear it after working out and after playing golf."

Brian L.

"I’ve had poor posture my entire life. I see my mother’s hunched back as a senior, and I don’t want that to be me. When I saw this bra, I knew I wanted it but the price gave me major pause. I decided to try it since I couldn’t find a better or more affordable option that I thought might really work. Wow! Just wow! It’s comfortable, lightweight and my posture has improved dramatically. The few times I’m not wearing it, I’m conscious of slouching and try to straighten up. Proof that it’s retraining my body. I’m so pleased, I just bought another one!"

Ana V.

"I have a shoulder impingement (ouch!) that was caused in no small part by my WFM laptop slouch for the last year. I got the Power Bra to help counteract my bad habits, and so far it has been effective in making me aware and creating new behavior patterns. I got the black and the look and feel is comparable to what's used by higher end athletic brands; in no way does it look 'correctional'! I would definitely consider purchasing additional bras or the leggings!"
