ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a device for promoting proper posture in the user wearing the device. The device properly corrects the user's posture when he is slouching his shoulder's forward, and is discrete and comfortable to wear. Two sides of the back plate of the invention are mutually rotatable along a vertical edge which includes a pivot means comprised of a hinge or other device. The back plate further includes a spring means for biasing each side of the back plate away from the user. A pair of shoulder pads each contacts the front side of one of the user's shoulders. The spring means urges each shoulder pad rearward while urging the pivot means of the back plate forward. When the user wearing the invention slouches, the shoulder pads in the invention urge the user's shoulders backwards, thereby correcting the user's posture.
