Back Pain Relief - Posturepole

Relieves nagging neck, shoulder and upper back pain FAST!

how it works?

Health professionals have found that sitting in a slumped (kyphotic) manner can cause postural muscles to become tense and painful.

They also noticed that those same muscles could be relaxed quickly and easily by moving to another specific posture.

It was realized that this 'relaxation' was an automatic nervous system reaction; like having your kneecap tapped and then feeling your leg suddenly jump or twitch. However, instead of 'firing' muscles these particular reflexes selectively 'switch off' the tension prone postural muscles.

A European neurologist, Professor Brugger, first described this reaction. As part of his care he often recommended that people follow a body positioning routine - that they lengthen their spine, tuck their chin in slightly, turn their arms and legs out, and take slow breaths - to relax their tight muscles.*

The Posturepole™ activates that same relaxation response. It has been specially designed to:

	activate the nervous system relaxation reaction
	use gravity to gently open the chest and lengthen the tight upper body muscles
	allow each upper arm to reposition itself properly into the shoulder joint
	encourage deeper abdominal breathing
	foster a straighter more up-right posture and greater body awareness
	provide a feeling of ease and lifting of mood

There is a strong mind-body aspect to the Posturepole's™ use; a lengthened spine and open chest encourages a sense of ease and optimism while a slouched posture is a associated with feelings of a need for protection i.e. fear and anxiety. After using the Posturepole™, many people describe feeling a quieter more peaceful state of mind. Many people have found that the pole offers an ideal position for meditation.
