The Vertebar Posture Guide (VPG) is a guide, not a brace.

It provides immediate tactile/touch feedback so you can strengthen posture muscles with a neutral spine posture, especially when hinging forward or working against gravity.

Pressing your head, ribs, and sacrum against a rigid surface allows for all of the deep posture muscles to hold your vertebrae in their happy zero point, keeping the channels open for improved nerve communication, muscle activation, and all of our joints can stay within the stress loads they were designed to withhold.

Strengthening with neutral alignment increases dynamic spinal movement in rotation, flexion, and extension while reducing your risk of back injury.

Starting moving with pain or fear of pain today by grabbing a VPG and doing 10 minutes a VPG exercises per day.

Learn how to with a . Here are 4 ways to learn the proper hip hinge to prevent and reduce back pain, risk of low back injury, and increase movement efficiency.

Grab a broom/dowel, foam roller, wall space, or your Vertebar Posture Guide and try this move out. 10-15 repetitions daily will improve your posture and reduce pain/tension.

Were you born in the late 1990s and joke about having back pain? You don't have to suffer decades of progressively worsening muscle/joint aches and pains. Just wear the and do 10-15 minutes a day of exercise to teach your body how to move in more efficient and stress-free mechanics. This will help you recover faster, prevent injury, and continue to do the activities you love to do.

Taking a break from dead lifts due to back limitations?

Grab a and get back to lifting heavy without pain. Ensure optimal spinal alignment and force distribution by maintaining a neutral spine, utilizing a more efficient hip hinge.

The first few repetitions of a neutral spine hinge may be limited as the body gets readjusted to separating the hip joint and spine movement from each other.

Without resetting my neutral spine/hip hinge movement, working out with limited movement can cause painful stress/tension in my low back or other joints. I might *think* my spine is in neutral but without using the VPG first, I can't guarantee my low back stays stress-free during a heavy workout.

Prevent unnecessary back tension by aligning your dynamic posture in neutral before your workout.

Grab your VPG to strengthen in a neutral spine so your head weighs less and you can carry less (mechanical) stress in your upper traps

Kenneth Hansraj, a New York back surgeon, found this figure using a computer model of a human spine.

Looking down at a phone increases the gravitational pull on the human head that, on average weights about 10 to 12 pounds.

Teenagers (ages 8 to 12) spend an average of seven hours and 22 minutes on their phones a day!

Poor posture and jaw position can also affect the neck muscles.
Combined with “text neck“ this can lead to unnecessary pressure on the cervical spine. This can lead in changes in blood pressure, can be been linked to headaches, neurological issues, depression and heart disease.

Fixing your posture can help alleviate text neck pain and reduce forward head posture.

This typically involves addressing and reversing muscle imbalances to restore a more naturally-aligned posture though a brain-based approach.
