PosturePlast (http://www.postureplast.co.uk/ ) is a new drug-free medical device that helps relieve lower back pain by addressing the root cause of most 'mechanical' back problems, bad posture.
Designed by Osteopath Adam Dallison (http://www.postureplast.co.uk/what-is-postureplast/the-expertise.aspx ), PosturePlast is a unique X-shaped adhesive support for the lower back that contains an innovative flexible strut. Based on the proven principle of taping, PosturePlast controls the range of movement and corrects posture, which in turn reduces pain and helps prevent re-injury. In trials 78 per cent of chronic back pain sufferers reported that PosturePlast significantly reduced their pain after just one week1.
Lower back pain is a significant health concern in the UK:
• One in five people are predicted to visit their G.P this year with the condition
• 80 per cent of people will suffer from lower back pain at some point in their lives
• Almost five million working days are lost per year as a result of back pain
• The NHS spends almost one billion pounds per year treating sufferers2
Dallison says: "Because posture is fundamentally about how we use our bodies, how we bend, stretch, twist and lift, everyone can be at risk of back pain (http://www.postureplast.co.uk/why-use-postureplast/pain-relief.aspx ); from the incredibly active to those who lead a sedentary life and across a wide age spectrum, from adolescence onwards. PosturePlast is a simple, yet incredibly effective device that can help reduce pain to let people get on with their lives, but importantly, and uniquely, it helps the wearer become more aware of good posture and helps retrain them to use their bodies in a safer way."
PosturePlast is drug-free meaning it can be used in conjunction with other treatments, worn when pregnant, when driving or even when operating machinery. Customers can buy Postureplast (http://www.postureplast.co.uk/buy.aspx ) from www.postureplast.co.uk in various sized packs, prices start from £4.00 for a single pack, through to £29.00 for a pack of 10. There is also an introductory offer giving 25% discount.
About Us
PosturePlast is a class I medical device, which has been designed by Osteopath Adam Dallison to both provide pain relief for lower back pain, as well as helping encourage correct posture in the wearer. It takes the principle of the clinically proven method of taping, used by osteopaths and physiotherapists for many years, but makes it easy for people to use on their own. Trials were carried out on PosturePlast between May and July 2010 in conjunction with four GPs surgeries.
