Are you looking for a way to improve your back & spine health? Posture sensors can help.
After what feels like a lifetime of working from home, a lot of people are feeling that their posture isn’t all it could be. There’s a lot of options out there, but not a lot of reliable information. Sensors are a great way to be mindful of how you’re sitting or standing, and we’ve done some research into how well they actually work.
Why Posture Problems Are So Serious
Poor posture can become the first stop on a road of very serious health concerns, if left unchecked. A poor sitting or standing posture can lead to recurring back and neck pain, which the World Health Organisation has identified as the leading cause of disability worldwide. It is estimated that 80% of adults experience neck, shoulder or back pain in their lifetime, with the problem extending to children as well – 2 in 5 children now suffer back and neck pain.
What Are Posture Sensors?
Posture sensors are small devices either in, or attached to, clothing. These can offer a great way to be gently reminded of your posture while you go about everyday tasks, at work, or in the gym. While “improving my posture” is a great goal to have, many people find that they slip into poor posture habits as they go about their day, only remembering to adjust their position very occasionally. Posture sensors help this by coaching you for the entire time you’re wearing one, keeping you on track to improve your health.
So, Can Posture Sensors Help?
We all want to be as fit and healthy as we can be. That said, the reality is that not much comes in life without some effort attached. If you want to run a marathon, you have to lace up your runners. If you want to improve your posture, you have to make a conscious effort to do so. That’s where posture sensors can really help – providing a gentle reminder to straighten up is all many people need to see a marked improvement in the health of their back, neck and shoulders.
How Widely Available Are They?
Posture sensors aren’t as widely available as many other support systems yet, but they are on the rise. Posture360’s award-winning range of posture sensor clothing is industry-leading, and can help you improve your health as soon as you’re ready.
