Has anyone used a posture strap /harness for running to keep your shoulders and chest in the right place. Just out of curiosity

I am afraid I haven’t heard of them. I would imagine anything that held you muscles in a way they weren’t used could put a lot of pressure on the joints. My understanding is if there is an unbalance the physio will work with you and your muscles and joints to build up and coax your muscles into the right place. It is a slow steady process. I could imagine anything that forces you to change posture might be a bit hard. That is unless it has been prescribed by your physio and then it is a completely different issue.
