The posture exercises displayed and demonstrated here in video format were created by Dr. Howard Makofsky, Professor of Physical Therapy and texbook author. They are also displayed on an attractive sheet that comes with each PostureJac unit.
Poor posture affects the mechanics and structure of your entire body. The exercises are designed for use with the PostureJac to gently mobilize the whole body over a controlled, consistent pattern.
You may feel an immediate correction to your alignment, and even some stiffness when you start, but long term change requires requires gentle, frequent repetition - for conditioning and to overcome strongly embedded poor habits.
Changes will result from using the PostureJac for even 5 minutes a day. We recommend at the beginning that you wear it more frequently during your daily activities. Posture correction works best when you are aware and make conscious changes to your mobility habits. Be prepared for the compliments!
