"I had been suffering with thoracic back pain and horrible back spasms when I was introduced to PosturePals. Although it hasn’t completely cured my pain, I no longer have to walk around holding my back and in fear of when the next spasm is going to hit.
The support has been fantastic. Thank you Ryan."

Stooping, Slouching, Round Shoulders?PosturePals™ are adhesive spinal supports designed by a Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist to help you manage your spinal alignment or posture helping you to: Move better, feel better and look better! |
 |
Benefits:
- PosturePals are comfortable to wear and do not dig in or rub under the arms like many braces
- PosturePals do not get wet so unlike tape they will not wet your clothes after showering and do not smell like tape tends to do after a couple of days
- PosturePals are better able to correct position as they adhere directly to your skin. They don’t rely on being tightened (until you can’t breathe) to stay in place
- PosturePals retrain by encouraging you to correct your position. You cannot hang off them like other braces (which may actually reinforce bad patterns)
- PosturePals are concealed nicely under clothing
- Simple to apply
PosturePals™ work in three ways:
1. RESTRICTION 2. RECOGNITION 3. RE-EDUCATION
1 . RESTRICTION:
The supports are designed to prevent you from adopting poor postures by maintaining the spine at or near its neutral (unloaded) position.
2. RECOGNITION:
Although backs are made to bend you may find that you are habitually adopting poor postures or feel that slouched or flexed postures are a problem. PosturePals™ will help draw your attention to the positions or activities that take your spine out of the neutral posture (there will be more than you expect). You can then modify your activities accordingly. You might need to change your desk set up, your car seat position or the position in which you sleep. There will be no more bending to tie up shoelaces and no slouching in the comfy lounge chair.
3. RE-EDUCATION:
By force of habit slouching feels normal or comfortable while correct sitting feels abnormal or awkward. PosturePals™ help to correct this anomaly. PosturePals™ possess elastic characteristics. Therefore, whenever you move away from a good posture, PosturePals™ exert a gentle correcting force that prompts you to actively improve your posture. Actively correcting means that you use your own muscles, which may help to improve strength and endurance. Through repetition and constant correction, you will start to learn a new posture, just as you might learn a new golf swing through practising hundreds of times.
PosturePals™ are not meant to hold you rigidly in the upright position. They rely on you responding to the feedback that they provide by correcting your position whenever you feel them start to stretch. The aim is to stay in a good position, one in which you feel little or no stretch from the device.
