The Posturepole™ is the invention of Australian chiropractor Dr Bruce Scott. |

The Posturepole™ helps relieve neck, shoulder and upper back pain coming from a forward head posture. It also encourages more comfortable upright posture. |

The original idea came after Dr Scott had started cycling with some friends and they complained about back pain after a ride. He closely examined what was happening and saw an opportunity to apply some of the knowledge he had gained while completing Post Graduate Studies in Rehabilitation. In particular using an approach favoured by the Czech School of Rehabilitation where specialists focused on body postures and breathing and how a person's muscle tension can change when they are placed in different positions. |

Vital to the development of the Posturepole™ were Scott’s observations of the Brugger Relaxation Position, which is mimicked in the position taken by people when they use the Posturepole™ . |

The Brugger Relaxation Position was developed by Professor Brugger, a Swiss occupational specialist. He saw the need to address postural problems that arose as a result of the way office workers sat while at a desk. The Professor discovered that he could safely and reliably switch off the tight postural muscles by placing the person in certain postures. Read more |

Dr Scott recognized that the same or even greater ‘postural loads’ were coming from the forward-head cycling posture, and that using the Posturepole™ essentially reverses the position that makes those muscles tight, in much the same way as the Brugger position. The special shape of the Posturepole™ was then crafted to allow the user to place their spine in a level, neutral position. Then, by supporting the spine, pressure eases from the surrounding muscles so the shoulders can comfortably relax and drop allowing the chest to open. |

What was pleasantly surprising was that many people found that the tension relieving effect of lying upon the Posturepole™ to be even greater than the original relaxation position. And there were other advantages; a heightened sense of upright posture, lower abdominal breathing and a feeling of ease and calm associated with the Posturepole™ use. |

From humble beginnings in a Australian Chiropractic clinic the Posturepole™ has grown to attract many satisfied users from around the world.
