I would like to wear some kind of device on my back to help it remain straight while I work on my computer (sometimes many hours in a row). Although I try consciously to keep the back straight, shoulders up, chin up, etc, after 10 minutes I forget, and tend to bend my back again. I need something that FORCES me to keep it straight. Or at least to force me to remember to keep it straight. I have not found anything in the internet about this, which is odd because I consider it to be a very common problem. Nobody invented anything yet?

There are things out there... just where I am not sure. My mum hurt her back ages ago at work. Now whenever she lifts anything she MUST put a back brace on to stop her from bending her back (which im sure it would stop you from slouching). Her work provided this as a saftery pre-caution to workers compensation. Have you tried any Health & Safety workplace stores? Can your work order you one if you pay for it? `

TRY A HOSPITAL SUPPLY HOUSE, THEY MAY HAVE SOMETHING AVAILABLE. OR CALL A 24 HOUR NURSE LINE AND ASK. EVEN WAL-MART MIGHT HAVE A BACK SUPPORT AVAILABLE. THERE MAYBE A SUPPORT IN THE SPORTING GOODS SECTION. DONT LEAVE ANY STONES UNTURNED.
