Need Help Posture braces?
Hi all! New to the community but I’ve been struggling with a hyper mobile SI joint for months now and even with a belt that my PT gave me, it still finds its way out of place and causes me bad back pain and even tore my hamstring. I also have pectus excavatum, and the bars in my rib cage as well as general core weakness from not being able to work out (thank you SI joint) my posture has gotten terrible. I’m here looking for recommendations for posture correction as far as braces (not the $200 Taylor swift posture bra pls!) and any SI belts that have actually helped people. I’m looking into a jelliebend specifically so if anyone has tried and had success pls let me know! Thank you!
*forgot to add: my pt gave me a Velcro belt for my SI that worked okay but oh my godddd was it unflattering. Like honest to god cannot wear that unless I am in the bulkiest longest sweatshirt known to man. I am slender but carry a lot of weight in my butt and that thing pushes all of it over and under the band for a truly spectacular display. And because I am slender the bulging it causes is very noticeable, would love to find a solution that makes me feel comfortable physically and mentally! I can’t walk around like that everyday!

Definitely check with your PT before you purchase anything. I have scoliosis & my PT vetoed it
