The Posture Pal® is a specially designed therapeutic cushion to improve posture while relaxing or exercising.

The Posture Pal is a patented device that stretches the chest region, relaxes back muscles, reduces forward head posture and improves overall posture.

How Posture Pal® Pillow Works:The Posture Pal® positions you to allow gravitational force to stretch anterior body tissues while placing the posterior tissue in a shortened position. Posture Pal® is designed to bring your head and shoulders into a healthy, normal postural position. This simple benefit allows comfortable, balanced and functional motions for your life, which reverses or eliminates common upper body aches and pains.

1. The headrest stabilizes the head.
2. The neck support promotes a natural curve.
3. The center hump supports the spinal region and gently extends the upper back while stimulating the spinal postural muscles.
4. The shoulder slope allows gravity to stretch the chest muscles and allows the back muscles to relax.
5. Smooth transition for the lower back.

Why Is The Posture Pal Important For Me? During the day, a person flexes their spine on average between 1,500 and 4,000 times per day while extending their spine, at best by less than half of that. This imbalance in motion, over time, develops an increased kyphotic posture (rounded back), off-centered joint positions and asymmetrical musculature. These effects are often neglected because, as the saying goes "out of sight... out of mind." This usually continues until a person has their "Ouch, that hurts" moment. Have you had yours? The good news is that posture can be corrected in mild to moderate cases and aided in severe cases with proper positioning using the Posture Pal® to recreate a balanced torso.

How Do I Know If My Body Pain Is Because Of Poor Posture? You may be at risk of suffering the effects of poor posture. Over 50% of all common aches and pains above the chest are related to poor posture. Check with qualified healthcare professionals such as your physician and physical therapist for proper testing. Here are some common painful manifestations of poor posture:

• Aches and pains in the upper torso, neck and shoulders
• Headaches
• Pinching pain in front of shoulders
• Sharp pain in ribs or back

How Should I Use The Posture Pillow? After being hunched over a computer all day, slaving away on an assembly line with neck and back pain, or just slouched on the couch, place the Posture Pal® on your bed, couch, or floor and relax or implement an exercise regimen to use on Posture Pal®. The Posture Pal® is designed to do the rest. For severe postural changes, use Posture Pal® between 5 and 20 minutes at least once daily depending on ones physical condition. Good posture is now in your control with Posture Pal Directions:

1. Lay Posture Pal® on the floor, bed or couch.
2. Lie supine on Posture Pal® with head in headrest.
3. When lying on the floor, bend knees or place a pillow under the knees so the lower back rests comfortably against floor.
4. Place arms out in 30 to 45 degree angle from body with palms facing up to utilize an exterior rotation for a proper stretch, resting arms on pillow to maintain same height as torso, or place hands on stomach.
5. Use up to 20 minutes. Overstretching can occur if overused.
6. Exercises can be used on Posture Pal® and is recommended.
7. For best results, exercises should be done to strengthen the postural muscles and to tighten the anterior muscles after being stretched.
