Product Information

If you are looking for a way to improve your posture and strengthen your core, then a Foam Roller or Posture Pole is just what you need! What is a Posture Pole? While of course there are circumstances where posture correctors can be a great tool in the short term, please consult a Chiropractor or other healthcare practitioner to ensure using one is right for you, as well talking about when you should be wearing it and for how long. What can you do and use instead to help improve your posture? Posture is almost certainly associated with pain and morbidity, but this is likely to be a much weaker association than previously thought. There is also a strong argument that this association is more attributed to sedentary behaviour, which inherently involves sustained postures. However, incases of clear pathology and/or specific context for the presenting patient, specific postural advice may be necessary to reduce tissue load, compression and sensitivity and to reduce ‘postural fear’. This is done with the evidence of a clinical history and physical examination. More broadly, it is important that clinicians ensure the language used promotes movement and reduces fear or fixed beliefs about posture and its role in spinal pain. Overall posture is a complex interaction of multiple factors, and a broad-brush approach of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ is not applicable. Key points Anyone who wants to improve their posture can use a Posture Pole. It is especially helpful for people who have bad posture habits, or for those who spend a lot of time sitting or standing in one position. Can Posture Poles help relieve pain?

A Mud Basket – Found at the end of the pole, these circular rubber additions are designed to spread your body weight and prevent your pole from sinking into soft ground. Gregoric P. Plato’s and Aristotle’s explanation of human posture. Rhizai J Ancient Phil Sci 2005;2(2):183–96. Search PubMed Another great benefit of using walking poles is that they improve posture, especially important if you are carrying a heavy load. Walking poles will make you more conscious of being upright whilst walking. There is a tendency to slump forward whilst going uphill which shifts your centre of gravity and actually increases the chances of slipping or stumbling on uneven terrain. The poles will help you keep your body position more upright so you can use your arms and shoulders to propel yourself up the trail easier. A streamlined handle – Most Nordic poles handles are straight and streamlined, normal waling poles usually are curved at the top.

To enhance the benefits further, try meditating (with or without an app like Smiling Minds) while on the posture pole. This activity is best done just before you go to bed, to undo the day’s pressures of gravity and stress, and to prepare you for better sleep – you’ll notice the difference.

Search PubMed Never heard of a posture pole before? A posture pole is a long semi-circular foam device that resembles a foam roller cut in half. It is very simple to use – the individual lays on the posture pole, ensuring the head and tailbone are resting on the pole. Laying on a posture pole works by doing the following:
