The Posture Curve can help restore the normal curve to your back and can provide controlled traction, easy to use and can reduce lower back stiffness and restore a healthy, strong posture
The Posture Curve was developed to loosen and traction the back, one segment at a time. Three minutes of use will traction all five segments of the lumbar spine in the back. Benefits of using the Posture Curve can be seen by simply taking before and after use bending measurements.
The two knuckles straddle the back and fit along muscles. Trigger points or sore areas in muscles with back strain are easily identified as the knuckles of the posture curve are moved from segment to segment. Works best through clothing and the depth of muscle penetration is always at your control.
On a pain or soreness scale of 1 to 10, try to stay around 5. If you find the knuckles too painful, simply cover them with a towel and remove towel or layers as you progress.

Being specific to areas of the back, the posture curve allows precise spinal areas to be stretched and tractioned. It will not hurt the back because it straddles the spine and anchors along muscles of the back and never touches the spine itself. Tight, stiff muscles sometime feel painful,
however you always have complete control of the pressure. Use the Posture Curve twice daily for maintenance, to your preference or other times as directed by your healthcare provider.
The Posture Curve can be used similar to back support pillows for short periods of time. Sitting against the Posture Curve rotates the pelvis forward and temporarily restores the normal back curve. It can also be utilized in a vehicle or in airplane seats for short intervals.
A study using twenty healthy university students showed that utilizing the Posture Curve decreased back stiffness an average of 26% immediately after the initial 3 minute session.

1) Sit erect in a firm, straight-back chair and place the Posture Curve against the chair back. |
2) Gently lean back against the Posture Curve while both hands are firmly grasped behind chair. This posture is held for 5 slow, deep breaths. |
 |
Using the Posture Curve seated, leverage is from the upper body. While on your back, leverage is gained from the legs which are used to monitor body weight and to control depth of muscle penetration. Begin with your knees bent and progress to legs extended straight out. This position produces traction of the back that can be controlled regarding pressure and location. This can help to relieve disc pressure or pinched nerves. |

The Posture Curve Can also be used to massage muscles that are often found to be stiff with back and leg pain and contribute to poor posture. Tight hip muscles can be massaged using one side of the Posture Curve to release these deep muscles. Roll the hip onto the single knuckle and hold for 10 seconds. Reposition the Posture Curve and repeat the process until all muscles have been worked. The figure 4 (crossed leg) posture allows deeper penetration than the bent knee posture. |

Q. Can I use it in a vehicle?
A. Yes - for short intervals. The Posture Curve is only 11" x 11", so it fits all seats; including airlines. Also, it feels great and works well while lying on your back.
