While most posture braces simply pull shoulders back into static positions, the Posture Medic keeps muscles fully engaged while keeping your spine correctly aligned. Posture Medic is a personalized posture solution that is available in a variety of different sizes and fits a real-world solution to a real-world problem.
Every day, your spine gets compressed with the natural forces of gravity. Under normal circumstances throughout the day, you sit, stand, then sit again changing the angles and amount of compression that is forced onto the lumbar.
However, if you stand for a long period of time (say for several hours at work) the amount of compression that is forced on the lumbar is extreme and can cause excessive force on the lumbar. This can cause the spine to either to have too much curve (a condition called Lordosis) or have too much force placed on the discs. can cause additional pain and exacerbate the problem.
Massage has long been respected for the powerful therapeutic effects it can have on soft tissues. Two forms of bodywork in particular, myofascial release and trigger point therapy. These can be extraordinarily effective at relieving deeply-held chronic pain problems originating in soft tissues.

Standing still for over 20 minutes at a time can can have a negative impact on your musculoskeletal system. You need to stand properly to enhance your balance. This distributes your weight evenly throughout your body beginning with your feet and moving all the way up. Proper footwear is key. You should find shoes that support your feet properly while still being safe and work appropriate. Make sure that your shoes fit properly, have a soft sole and provide good arch support. You can also modify your existing shoes by adding a custom orthotic or over the counter arch supporting insoles.
If your job requires you to stand all day, ideally it is not on a hard surface. Using an “anti-fatigue mat” can reduce the strain on your body. Wearing a Posture Medic helps keep your neck and shoulders aligned to reduce the stress and pain of standing for such extended periods.
While standing, pull your naval towards the back of your spine and tuck your hips under. Stand tall and keep your chin tucked in – do not stick it forward.
Be sure to shift your position regularly so that your muscles do not get stiff. It may also be helpful to occasionally stand with one foot on a stool to relieve the pressure on your back. Take breaks throughout the day and stretch with the Posture Medic to loosen those tight and sore muscles.
