innovative adhesive spinal supports designedby a musculoskeletal physiotherapist, posturepalsergo tapes help manage spinal alignment or posture. learning howto maintain the correct posture helps patients to move better, feelbetter and look better. they work in three ways:

1. restriction. posturepals help prevent poor posture by maintainingthe spine at or near its neutral (unloaded) position.

2. recognition. backs are made to bend, but they aren’t meantto be bent all or most of the time. habitually poor posture is aproblem. posturepals help draw attention to the positions or activitiesthat take the spine out of the neutral posture (there are morethan you think!). being mindful of problem activities, the patient canmodify activities accordingly. adaptations may require a change indesk setup, sitting in a car or sleeping position—no excessivebending to tie shoelaces and no slouching in a comfy lounge chair.

3. re-education. by force of habit, slouching feels normal orcomfortable and correct sitting feels abnormal or awkward. to correctthis anomaly, the elastic characteristics of posturepals exert agentle correcting force whenever posture starts to slack. the slightpull prompts users to improve posture, using their own muscles toimprove strength and endurance. through repetition and constantcorrection, a new "healthy" posture will be learned.posturepals are not meant to hold the body rigidly in a upright position.they rely on you responding to the corrective feedback. thegoal is to maintain good posture while feeling little or no stretchfrom the device
