Before we learn to speak properly we have perfect posture completely automatically. That is because natural posture is controlled by a very primitive part of the brain.

Posture correction gadgets like this one are flawed because postural muscles are not controlled by the conscious part of the brain.

Nice try, but to fix poor posture you need to address the root cause:- the average westerner spends around 75% of their waking lives sitting in a seat.
