I'm often required to sit upright (if not motionless) for long periods at my place of employment. Perhaps this is a fashion of importance for the modern working man?

In times past both men and women wore corsets. When those corsets were removed both men and women who wore them fell into a heap with back problems.

Yes, a setagen or a corset will definitely help you to sit upright for lengthy periods, but strengthening of the core muscles is probably a better option.
