I have one of those back weights. Got it from Nancy's Notions years ago. Wear it if I'm going to be at the sewing machine for any length of time. I love it. I really think it helps keep my posture straighter. You might go on-line and look for tips for sewing ergonomically. I've seen some really good demos. Hope it works out. My advise would be to get up frequently and stretch your back.
