SOME BENEFITS OF POSTURE IMPROVEMENT

Poor posture negatively affects your overall appearance, and can lead to back problems. The PostureNOW posture corrector brace will help you reverse a lifetime of bad posture.

Here are some interesting quotes from various sources about the importance of good posture:

"STRONG, SOLID POSTURE IS THE BACKBONE OF FEELING GOOD AND STAYING ACTIVE."

-HealthAndAge.com

"[WITH GOOD POSTURE] YOU CAN ACTUALLY LOOK LEANER, TALLER, AND CONSIDERABLY MORE CONFIDENT."

-AOL Health

"OVER TIME, YOUR POOR POSTURE TAKES A TREMENDOUS TOLL ON YOUR SPINE, SHOULDERS, HIPS AND KNEES."

-Men's Health Magazine

"SLUMPING POSTURE CAN ZAP ENERGY AND MAKE YOU LOOK HEAVIER, NOT TO MENTION CAUSE BACK PAIN AND NECK PROBLEMS."

-Prevention Magazine

Today, people are spending hours a day at their computer, hunched over with their spine health worsening day after day. And with the advent of social media (Facebook, Instagram, etc.), people are spending more time at their home computers and on their phones, with the result being literally 10-15 hours a day spent in poor posture. As people become more and more aware of their (and others') posture, we're realizing that good posture can help us look better and feel better. But, realizing there is a problem is only the first step.

Traditionally, the only solutions for better posture have been time-consuming exercises and uncomfortable, difficult-to-use products. The hidden danger with using a traditional posture corrective brace is that the brace itself does all the work for you, pulling your shoulders back while putting your body into correct alignment. The problem with this model is that it can actually weaken your back muscles and make your posture worse over time.

The PostureNOW brace is the newest, most innovative way to improve your posture. Its comfortable neoprene arm bands, coupled with a flexible elastic strap across the back, help you hold your shoulders back and provide tension when you start to slouch. But it's your back muscles, not the device itself, that keep you in correct posture. And that is the PostureNOW difference: You become stronger over time, and as you are trained to stand straighter, you'll need to use PostureNOW less and less, because you'll naturally have better posture and a stronger upper back. PostureNOW is the ultimate long-term posture corrector―not a quick-fix or gimmick.

Here are some quotes from famous people pertaining to posture:

"I WANT TO GET OLD GRACEFULLY. I WANT TO HAVE GOOD POSTURE, I WANT TO BE HEALTHY, AND BE AN EXAMPLE TO MY CHILDREN."
