Depending upon ones condition, Posture Pal's placement of the head and neck in normal postural position of 0% FHP may be too extreme for some patients, especially those with a high degree of FHP and excessive kyphosis. If you are an elderly person, or someone who has a serious medical condition, please consult a medical specialist before use of this product.
If Posture Pal is too uncomfortable, fold a towel and place in the headrest. This will allow your head to be elevated and reduce stress in the region of your neck. After a couple of weeks, once you are acclimated in the position, reduce the thickness of the folded towel until it's not needed any longer.
Consult a medical specialist to see if Posture Pal® is right for you. Before starting an exercise program, consult a medical specialist as some exercises may be dangerous, especially if diagnosed with Osteoporosis or other medical conditions. Overuse of Posture Pal® can overstretch tissues. Do not overuse. |
