Chris what advantage are you seeing with the bowtie / how do you feel like it is improving your biomechanics when it's off? Flexibility improvement? I find the idea of the correction attractive but would worry about it becoming a crutch for me
I'm new to it but here are the early reviews: it is comfortable running especially over a compression shirt. Early in a run I have good posture, but it prevents me from slouching later. Ditto at my desk -- I am okay when I start to write but deep into a project I roll my shoulders forward. It cues me to engage my lats and rear delts. My hope/expectation/plan is that it will serve as a reminder for a while then I'll wean myself off it and keep the better posture on my own. With my shoulders back I don't notice it but when I slouch, it tugs them back.
Chris, I admire your perseverance and determination. I hope you are well on the way to 100% recovery from your medical issues. Much respect.
Thanks, Pete. Getting there!
