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.

Rigid back brace have been around for 60+ years and most people have put one on at one time or another. A typical back brace uses elastic to tighten around the waist and hips to create compression and stabilize the core, which in many cases can provide short term relief for lower back pain.
How does the BaxMAX reduce pain for people suffering with various conditions of the spine? Watch this video to learn how.
Single-pull braces Â
A single pull back brace (like the BaxMAX) has only one pull that is connected to both sides of the brace and includes a series of “pulleys” to tighten the brace. This is called a compound pulley which gives you leverage when you are tightening the brace. For example, the BaxMAX has a 5:1 compound pulley, meaning that for every 5 inches you move the pull, the brace only moves 1 inch. The compound pulley effect enables you to get the brace tighter and provide more support than a multi-pull brace. In the case of the BaxMAX, it provides 5 times the amount of support. Also, thanks to the one-pull system, the BaxMAX can be loosened almost instantly which makes it quick and easy to release the support without taking off the brace. Then re-tightening is just and quick and easy. Our recommendation is to loosen the BaxMAX once per hour for 5-10 minutes, which ultimately addresses the muscle atrophy issue.
