Because my job requires me to sit at a computer, desk and type all day, I often experience back and neck tension. A friend of mine who is actually a physical therapist recommended something called a Posture Right by Neck Orthotic to help alleviate some of the pain I was experiencing. It is really not that much to look at, it really has a simple design consisting of hard plastic and looking similar to a bookend. I tried it by lying with my back flat on the floor, knees bent, the base of my neck on the Posture Right Orthotic and my head rested on the plastic slant. I felt relief instantly as I began to feel my neck strengthen and stretch and I felt the tension draining from my jaw and face. My friend recommended that I stay on it for ten minutes for optimal benefits but I only lasted five.
I have back and neck pain so severe sometimes that it actually makes me nauseous. That is exactly what was happening with the Posture Right Orthotic, the longer I stayed on the more nauseous I felt. I also feel nauseous when I get massages due to the toxins leaving my body, so I know when I am on the Posture Right and I begin to feel nauseas it is working. This is not a great feeling but I at least am aware I am going in the right direction to help with pain relief.
According to the makers of The Posture Right Orthotic, it has two functional angles that give traction when need. The wedge design it said to help achieve certain vertebral placement.
The design of the Posture Right is to restore a normal and healthy cervical curve and to correct forward head posture. Some of the benefits of the Posture Right include:
• It has a staged progressive care
• Yields better post x-rays which in turn comes out to improved compliance and correction
• It is durable, strong and keeps its shape
• You are able to use it at home
I believe Posture Right Orthotic is an easy and effective tool to use to ease back and neck tension.
I found it very comforting to be able to stretch my jaw and facial muscles for which I do not ever remember doing prior to this. Most chiropractors recommend using the Posture Right for 15 minutes sessions. There are now more the 150 chiropractic offices using this product with a 98% satisfaction rate. If you want to purchase it in quantity, you can get it for as little as $ 15.50 each but if you have a single purchase the price is $ 39.99. I would recommend this product.
