ABSTRACT:
An exercise and posture correcting device comprising a slightly bowed strip of spring steel or other material having comparable flexing characteristics extends upwardly from the rearward portion of a broad width waist belt to which it is connected at one end to a padded contact member connected to a height adjustable extension sleeve slidably received on the strip at its upper end, such padded contact member at such upper end being positioned to bear against the wearer's back in the region between his shoulder blades. The padded contact member is biased toward and against the wearer's back by the strip of spring steel or other material. A rigid plate is secured to the broad width waist belt in back on which a tension adjusting ratchet assembly is mounted to increase or decrease pressure against the user's back as desired.
