A Must If You Have Bad Posture!
Upright go 2 works magic and miracles. Since I was 12 years old I’ve been slouching. At 21 I even went to physical therapy with no avail. I’ve improved my posture through working out but it’s far from perfect and as I get older my back has been starting to me. I went to a doctor at a health fair that was giving free ultrasounds to scan joints and she said I had a major muscle imbalance and the muscle tissues in my back were very dense. I started getting traditional Thai massages to start breaking away those hard knots and although it helped me improve mobility and pain it’s still there. My massage therapist who I befriended told me she feels improvement but I need to start trying to be more mindful of my posture. I saw an ad for this device pop up on amazon and I decided to give it a try. I’ve had it for a week now and my posture is already improvement. I’ve been wearing it going everywhere and I realize that with a better posture strangers have been randomly communicated with me asking me about what I do for a living. It’s kind of funny but I don’t think it’s a coincidence. Although, my back is still sore I feel improvement. As I’m standing/sitting straight longer I’m feeling muscles in my back I haven’t felt for years. I keep it on most of the day! I’m going to get another Thai massage in 2 weeks from now to see how the combination will work. I’ll keep you all updated but so far i highly recommend this product!

Rather than getting a Thai massage I spent 20.00 less on a back pod which has been a life changing combination. The upright 2 will help train you to walk upright but some of you with the more serious hunch will need a way to loosen your muscles enough to really stand straight. Especially if your over 30 it’s a painful process. I still have pain but my back strengthened enough where it isn’t as bad as normal. A trick that I find helpful is I use the back pod for 10 minutes, I breath as deep as possible as it stretches my spine. Then I use the upright, stand as straight as possible and walk for 2 minutes doing my best to engage my core. So far it’s helped a lot friends and family recognizes I’m straight. Actually a friend of mine thought I got taller. Anyway, give it a try this thing changed my life for the better but if you were hunching 10+ years you better be prepared to suffer to get better!
