Page 5 - Posture Blocks II Introduction

You have received one of the most dynamic methods of changing your posture, Posture Blocks. This system of
foam pieces of different shapes and densities helps correct your Forward Head Posture by providing specific areas
of “give” and other areas of resistance to the weight of your body and pull of Gravity. Just like a custom insert for
your shoe, Posture Blocks require a break-in period. Because Posture Blocks actually causes certain muscles and
joints to stretch, doing too much too soon can cause soreness. The break in period will greatly reduce this and help
you get the maximum benefits from using Posture Blocks.

NOTE: Posture Blocks should always be used with the enclosed cushion cover. The
cover is machine washable.

Here are some general guidelines for Posture Blocks use.

1. Lay on the cushion as shown in pictures. Have the headpiece cradle the neck. The idea is to let the
weight of the head gently stretch the neck. You only want a gentle pull. Shorten the amount of time
used from 15 min to 5 min until you can tolerate the full time

Make sure your arms are as close to the position as shown in the picture as possible. This my be very
uncomfortable at first but over time will feel comfortable. Bring your knees up so that the bottom of
your feet are flat on the floor. This flattens your low back. Unless directed otherwise by your health care
professional, use Posture Blocks for 15-20 min. per day, every day.

Continue to use Posture Blocks to counteract work and play activities that tend to place you body into
Forward Head Posture.

The outer cover is washable. The foam pieces require no special maintenance if the cover is used.
