As a way of trying to help my back heal, I am trying out something called (I think) a Posturepedic t-shirt. (I just looked this up, it's called Intelliskin, which makes less sense to me). This is a tight-fitting elaskticky thing that is supposed to help my posture and take pressure off my back by keeping my shoulders from drifting forward and up while I'm sitting and doing my ADL's. It costs $90 and its bright white and comes in two versions for men, what's called a foundation shirt, which fells kind of like the material in bike shorts, and the v-neck tee, which is thinner.
Let me say one thing. Not that I didn't already respect all y'all, but I have even greater regard for womenfolk who having to wear those bra things all day.
I can't say I enjoyed it, but it seemed like it helped. It was kind of odd feeling like someone was pulling on my shoulders all the time, but I didn't have any pain while I was wearing it. I'm only supposed to wear it 30-60 minutes the first day. We'll see what happens when I wear it for longer
