Keller Posture Correction online programme
|
|
|
If you want to improve your general posture for sports performance, or to recover from a serious problem, then Jan Keller's online posture correction training programme is a great compliment to PostureMinder. As Jan says:'Many of my clients suffer shoulder and back pain from prolonged periods at a desk. While my training system will correct your imbalances, improve your strength and increase your flexibility, using Postureminder reinforces this with timely reminders should your posture be lacking. Using the two systems together is a great way to tackle your bad habits and proactively address your posture problems'

CG-Lock Occupant Stability Equipment
|
|
|
Nothing to do with computer users! CG-Lock is a neat gizmo that attaches to your existing car seatbelt in 5 minutes and allows the lap belt portion only (shoulder strap unaffected) to be tightened, keeping your spine against the lumbar support. This prevents you from slipping around in the seat and twisting your spine on cornering. Used for track days but now sold by back specialists for maintaining good posture during regular driving too!
