The apparatus for correcting head and shoulder posture was invented to help those individuals with the dysfunction of habitually carrying their heads and shoulders in an abnormally extended forward or off balance position. The role of the apparatus is to assist the dysfunctional components of the neuromuscular system that are responsible for maintaining proper head and should posture as one carries out normal activities such as sitting, standing, walking and running. Many of society's shoulder, neck and back specifically upper back pain as well as resulting collateral pain in other areas can be attributed to poor head and shoulder posture. Muscles that control head and shoulder movements can become hyper extended in a forwardly position. Continually carrying the head and shoulders in this position can often become habitual and soft tissues affected can become dysfunctional of varied degrees. The brain controls all body movements both voluntary and involuntary, voluntary as in moving your arm; involuntary as in breathing. However in dysfunctional muscle tissue the brain signals and/or commands to facilitate movement can be ignored in dysfunctional muscles and no movement may occur. In the case of poor head and shoulder posture, the head and shoulders remain in a sustained extended forward position, nonresponsive to brain impulses. This apparatus was designed to intervene and assist dysfunctional muscles in responding to brain commands to counter balance the head and shoulders before they become hyper extended for sustained periods if dysfunctional. The apparatus' action is to exhaust hyper extended muscles causing more blood to enter those muscles triggering muscle movement counterbalancing the head and shoulders to the proper position conducive to the activities the body is engaged in at the time. This apparatus facilitates renewed communication between the brain and soft tissues so that normal commands and responses can occur in time, unassisted by the apparatus as one's dysfunction diminishes.
