While gait trainers can look similar to walkers, pediatric gait trainers provide more specialized support for kids who don’t have the functional skills to walk or the posture control to walk with a walker. Gait trainers come in all shapes, designs, and sizes, but in this blog we’re focusing on gait trainers for kids. There are numerous health benefits to being able to stand, and even more benefits from walking. Pediatric gait trainers help kids who aren’t currently able to stand and/or walk on their own gain the strength (bones and muscles), balance, coordination, and skills to reap t...

Did you know December and January are when gyms sell the most gym memberships? The most popular New Year resolutions are weight loss and to get in shape, and many of us (I know I have tried this) assume that buying the gym membership will be enough motivation. Sometimes it even works, but rarely for very long. Instead, here are some easy ways to get motivated to lose weight (and then stay motivated once you’ve started!): Be nice to yourself. One of the hardest parts is admitting and then deciding to lose weight so congratulate yourself for doing that! The negative records that play in ...

With the holiday season gearing up into full swing, most of us are more concerned about how big of a turkey (and then tree) to get than we are about our flexible spending account through work. Financial experts will tell you that is a big mistake – if you have a medical flexible spending account (FSA) through your employer and you don’t use that money by the end of the year then you’ll lose it. That’s right – use it or lose it. This is also the time of year for open enrollment for employee benefits, so if you haven’t been taking advantage of your ability to save through a FSA...

Since using the ShouldersBack Posture Support, I have noticed that not only has my posture improved, but people say that I seem to look like I walk with more confidence.

For as long as I can remember, everyone in my life has said that I slouch. I slouch while I sit, I slouch while I stand, and the question I always hear is, “Why do you stand like that?”. While this never caused an immediate problem, I’ve noticed that now, it does cause me some discomfort. I started working at an office job, and found myself hunched over my desk the entire day. When I came home, I would have to either lay down, or do stretches in order to get any kind of relief. It wasn’t until this agitation occurred that I even paid attention to correcting my problem. Now, it is a problem I have to resolve. ShouldersBack Posture Support

Due to my situation, it should come as no surprise that I was very curious when I saw ActiveForever’s ShouldersBack Posture Support. While I was looking at the product, I noticed that this was unlike many that I have seen in the past. For one, it’s design is much less restrictive than supports I have seen in the past. It isn’t bulky or noticable when worn because of it’s sleek design. The basic function of the product is what the name entails, it pulls your shoulders back to allow a more upright stance. The adjustable shoulder straps are easily fashioned to a a person’s specific needs. The person wearing it is the one that dictates the corrective force needed. The next thing that really drew me to the product is the fact that one can wear it under their clothes. Being the fact that I love clothes, like anyone else, I thought it was awesome that this does not need to be worn externally. I didn’t want anything that would make me look like I was wearing something to improve my posture. It is discreet, while functional.

Alright, so we have the function of the product as effective, but what about the comfort. Will I feel bulky while wearing this product? I can honestly answer that question with a confident no. My recommendation is for the Shoulderback Lite, specifically . The shoulder straps are made from Nutex, while the back of the grament is made from powermesh. The four way strecth material breathes well, and is not restricting to the skin’s surface. This not only makes apparatus light and comfortable, but given the fact that my preference is wearing it underneath my clothes , these lightweight materials make it possible. This is especially important during the hot summer months, when wearing any additional clothing other than the norm can be daunting. The color options are another aspect to consider judging by the fact that some colors are a ilttle more discreet as well.

Finally we have to consider the pricing. This product is reasonably priced at $44.95. While many may thing initially that this is steep, Active Forever can ensure that this is minimal. It is not something that will be used once in a while. Despite the fact that it can be worn for as little as an hour everyday, I prefer to wear mine more often just to get maximum results. This is a product that can and should be worn on a daily basis to enable it’s benefits. Considering the amount of time one is going to be using it, at home, at work, long car rides, I would venture to say that the benefits far outweight any cost.

Since using this product, I have noticed that not only has my posture improved, but people say that I seem to look like I walk with more confidence. I don’t have to tell people why that is, but I can say for a fact that the next time I see anyone slouching, I have the perfect product to refer them to: Active Forever’s Shouldersback Posture Support.
