UPRIGHT GO

I was having severe back pain from my poor posture. I also have fibromyalgia so my muscles are really sensitive to painful stimuli and I get severe muscle spasms. I couldn't sleep, the pain was unbearable. My doctor told me the only way to relieve the pain was to improve my posture. I tried really hard to change and have better posture at my desk but I would revert to old habits. I purchased this wonderful device and my world changed. This device is super easy to set up and use. You will need to use your smart phone. It says to use iPhone 5 or newer but this works just fine with my iPhone 4C. The device and the free app you download on your smart phone work together. You set your posture everyday and wear the device. It tracks your posture and gives you a buzz if you are slouching while in the training mode. When I do not want the buzz, because I am in a meeting or doing something where I will be bending over often then I change to tracking mode. No buzzing in tracking but it will send a text if I am slouching. This thing tracks your position. Since it can only sense when you are bent forward, it will track as slouching even it your are bent forward tying your shoes, reaching in the lower cupboards, etc. This has changed my life. I am getting less feed back (buzzing) while working at my desk, I am tucking my tummy more which improves my posture immediately. Best of all after using the device 4 days in a row, the severe pain in my back lessened and I was able to sleep at night. I was also able to reduce the amount of pain meds I was taking. The customer service is great also. I text them a question and someone answered very quickly sending me a link to some videos. They have great videos that help to explain things and they followed up to make sure my questions were answered. The adhesive lasts about a week. They send a little case and charging cord. The battery lasts about 12 hours, which is longer than I wear daily. Place the Go in the little case, plug it in and the next day it is ready to use again. I think if I left it out in the air, the adhesive would not last as long. It does not irritate my skin at all. The adhesive does not hold when I am sweating heavy, like when hiking on a really hot day. The case is very small and easily fits in a pocket or purse. I have been using it for about 14 days now. This device is really wonderful, it does exactly what it says it will do, and I am glad I did not listen to the poor reviews. (I suspect those people do not use with a smart phone, or keep it in the case at night.) Give this a try, it is simple to use but like everything, you must follow the few simple instructions for the best experience.

While the upright go is not perfect, it certainly works for correcting your posture. It is basically meant for if you are sitting at a desk all day. I don't really find that it works well for if you're walking around your house cleaning and the like since it can't really register that you are reaching for something or bending over. It is a little pricey, but better than wearing a brace, which i had considered. Several reviews stated that it didn't hold the charge, but I didn't find that to be a problem. I can wear it all day at work and the charge lasts all day. The only issue i had was the sticky tabs that it comes with don't stick for many hours. However, a previous reviewer had recommended buying Body/Dressing Tape. That was great advice. the tape was about $7 and well worth it. I don't recommend buying their tabs. The body tape brand that was recommended that i purchased and it works great was "Braza Body/Dressing Tape". Also, i wear it much longer than the recommended amount and i never do the tracking mode, i keep it on the training mode so that it buzzes whenever i start to slouch. If you choose to purchase, i hope that it works as well for you as it did for me. It alleviates the major neck pain i suffer from. There are times where i forget to charge it at night or think i will be fine without it, but i always regret not wearing it. I would give it 5 stars, but the sticky tabs it comes with are not very good, and if they could perfect the technology to recognize when you are reaching for something or bending down to pick something up vs. poor posture, that would be fantastic.

First, it is rare that I review anything. The item has to be really good or a huge rip-off for me to bother. But when I was looking into this product and reading the reviews here, I almost decided to pass on this one based on some really negative Amazon reviews. After more research elsewhere I decided to go ahead and get two of them, one for my wife as well. We are both athletes in our 60s and are continually getting on each other for slouching. We needed something like this! The short story: My Upright Go does exactly what they claim. So...5 Stars! (Wife has not started yet). DETAILS: If you are thinking of purchasing this item 1. You MUST READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!. If you hate instructions, don't buy it, and 2. It would be very helpful to have access to a smart phone to set up the device. Yes, you can use it without a smart phone as they claim, but it is not optimal, as they warned! I used my wife's phone to get the app and dial in the device. Took me about three sessions to really figure out how to set everything for home use, then office use. Totally different settings! But I COULD settle for a happy medium if I had no more access to a smart phone ever again. The phone I used is an iPhone 4G and the app is not supposed to work on it, but it is perfect. If this device shipped without the app, or I didn't have even one friend with a smart phone to set it up, I'm thinking my rating would be much lower, maybe 3 stars. I don't like the factory setting at all, unless I was only sitting in front of the TV or desktop PC. Then it would be OK out of the box. Moving around a lot doing everyday things, forget it. Now for you folks complaining about the glue. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! My Upright Go is stuck to my back right now as I type this - SEVEN straight days with the original sticky patch still working great. Grab an alcohol swab and wipe the spot on your back, then dry with a clean paper towel. Really rub well with the paper towel. Don't touch the sticky with your hands and always store it IN THE CASE when not in use. The inside of the case is made from special plastic material that does not affect the glue at all. Unless you have crocodile skin or some kind of snail genetics the thing is going to stick for a week at least with each glue strip. Obviously, if you are a Bigfoot, you'll need to shave that spot. There is even a way to clean the glue if it gets dirty. HINT: For home and office use I set the device buzzing pattern to Long and Sensitivity (how far you slouch before you get scolded) to 5 or 6. At home, I like a 10 to 15 second delay before the device buzzes me. At work I need at least 20 seconds delay. Without continued access to a smart phone I would set the device at 20 seconds and be happy with that home and office. Out of the box it was set at 5 seconds - NO BUENO! This would drive you mad. GRIPES: If I were sitting in church the buzzing would sound like a jet landing. At work when I am moving around a lot, I can't hear it and often can't feel it. You can fix the church part by setting the device to Tracking which kills the vibration, or just turn it off. If you don't have a smart phone the tracking mode does you no good anyway. Tracking just keeps recording posture data so you can see how bad you slouched all day next time you use the app. There are a few different setting for Short, Medium, or Long vibrations you choose from through the app. Short is really just a tap, long is like a cell phone buzzing. EFFECTIVENESS: After only one week I can tell you something with 100% certainty: Your posture will improve WHILE YOU WEAR IT for sure. Long term? I don't know yet. But I don't care. If I have to wear the thing a few days a week for a year it's a winner. THE UPRIGHT GO WORKOUT: The app gives you goals to hit starting at 5 minutes and ending at 20 minutes over the first five day period. I wore the thing for several hours every day my first week and had no issues. Your muscles will get tired and my abs got sore after two days but I have no ill effects. I am a serious athlete so I do everything in excess anyway. I have no fear that this device will hurt me with overuse. Eventually my "good posture muscles" get tired and I just call it a day at that point and return the device to it's pouch. CONCLUSION: Best if you have two or three days access to a smart phone to set up the device. You only need five minutes of phone time a day to do this. Maybe a coworker can help if you don't have a partner at home. And for Pete's sake...READ THE DANGED INSTRUCTIONS!! DISCLAIMER: I have no affiliation with this product or the makers of this product. In fact, I never even heard of it until a coworker recommended it about one month ago. Hand to God, this is not a faked review. I am wearing the thing right now. Cheers!

Me encanto porque no se trata de utilizarlo mucho tiempo durante el día, todo depende del plan de entrenamiento, la app súper fácil de usar y para los adolescentes que se la pasan con mala postura ahora con los aparatos electrónicos es una maravilla ayuda bastante

Sicuramente molto semplice da usare al momento ho indossato per quattro giorni consecutivamente l’articolo senza riscontrare nessun problema relativamente alla colla adesiva anzi devo dire che risponde pienamente alle aspettative. L’app prevede tre impostazioni differenti che si adattano al mio stile di vita. Seduto per la tv o leggere attività mista seduto in piedi e camminata. Devo dire che é di una sensibilità disarmante ho cercato di fregarlo ma nn c’è verso. Sono completamente soddisfatto ottimo prodotto giusto rapporto qualità prezzo e soprattutto efficace.

Loved this product helps me to correct my long seating bad habits realy easy to use great after sale service I have got a gift after three months two packs of cilicon adhesives for replacement of used ones Appreciated and wish you good luck

Formidable ....... Vraiment il semble bien plus facile pour le cerveau d’assimilé une posture correcte à partir d’une experience ressentie directement par le corp, plutôt que d’essayer de se corriger par l’exercise conscient de changer d’habitude. Je souffre de la maladie de Parkinson, et j’ai beaucoup de peine à me tenir droit. En 15 jours j’ai gagné la bataille puisque je me tiens bien mieux qu’au paravent et d’une manière presque instinctive. YES ça marche, pour moi cela vaut chaque centime de l'investissement.

El dispositivo es muy pequeño y ligero, fácil de colocar y activar en unos segundos y puede utilizarse también sin la app. Una vez colocado es muy disimulado y se puede usar perfectamente en oficina, por ejemplo. Viene con una funda de transporte muy cómoda y bastantes adhesivos de repuesto. Los adhesivos suelen durar por lo menos una semana continuada de uso pero una vez completado el plan inicial de entrenamiento de unas dos semanas no es imprescindible seguir usándolo a diario para mantener el hábito. Tras un par de semanas de uso diario realmente ayuda a acostumbrarse a mantener una postura más recta tanto por la calle como sentado o conduciendo.
