Has anyone tried Posture Pal, or are there any health professionals who know about it?
I've read about a pillow called Posture Pal, but the only place I can find information or reviews is on their own website, which makes me skeptical. I'm hoping either a Posture Pal user or a chiropractor, physical therapist, or doctor knows something that might help me decide if it's a good product and worth the cost? I'm looking for something to hlep me correct my head forward posture.
Posture Pal was referred to me by a friend who had forward head posture. He got exceptional results with the cushion. I had upper back and neck problems for years and decided to start using Posture Pal myself. It works like a charm. It gives you the best upper body stretch imaginable. I use it every night.
Previously, I used to have a deep tissue massage for ninety minutes at least every two weeks to rid myself of the pain and discomfort. I've used Posture Pal for 18 months and have never been back to my massage therapist. It has literally saved me a fortune.
I found the attached link for you. The Doctor here implies that Posture Pal can "increase your health status and decrease your chance of dying early".

There is no better way to correct this than by simply practicing it.
…but as far as support for seated or lying positions, it doesn't take anything fancy….I would simply use a standard lumbar roll (good posture starts with the low back)…available at http://www.optp.com . You can also get a cervical roll for sleeping.

Do know anything about it but do not go see a chiropractor, instead see a physical therapist & an orthopedist and also ask your primary care physician what he thinks.
Here is the truth about what they do. A chiropractor can do spinal manipulations to relieve stress on spinal nerves caused by things like muscle tension or a slight misalignment of the discs. The manipulation is not a permanent change of anything though, and no – they can't permanently change the natural shape or curvature of a spine. An orthopedist can evaluate the situation and determine if a scoliosis is actually present, and if a brace would be of help. A brace has to be individually fitted though- it's not a one size fits all proposition. A chiropractor can be helpful in musculo-skeletal aches and pains, through manipulation and massage- but aside from that it's all smoke and mirrors. If you have back pain from the misalignment, they can help relieve that. But nothing they do is going to be a permanent fix. Spines don't work that way. To change a spine takes surgery and braces. Most want to drag out the process for as long as possible. There plan is to take a full body X-ray and have you going to them for a long time, by nit picking every little thing. No ones spine is perfect. In my opinion they are just as good a back rub. But to each his or her own. Chiropractors do not have a medical degree nor are they FDA approved. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.
