Fitness Equipment
Foam Roller
The foam roller is a key aspect to your daily joint clearing routine. We replace it with a 5 or 8 lb. CAP bar at level 3 as your resistance for overhead lifting.
Purchase includes instructional video on how and when to use a yoga block within the Healthy Posture System™.
Yoga Block
We utilize yoga blocks as skull support when laying on your back. As your posture improves you should need less support to get into neutral skull positioning. 4” block – $25* (week 1-3) 3” block – $25* (week 4-6)

Kettle Bell
The key to safe functional strengthening is maintaining neutral spine. We utilize kettle bells at level 3 to strengthen you in a way that facilitates healthy posture. 3.5 lbs. – $25* (week 3), 5 lbs. – $25* (week 5), 7.5 lbs. – $35* (week 5)
Purchase includes instructional video on how and when to use a kettle bell within the Healthy Posture System™.
Chair Wedge
If you sit more than a 2 hours at a time a chair wedge is a powerful prop to help you sit in healthy posture. You will learn how to use this prop week 1.
Travel Pillow
When traveling, we suggest using a travel pillow angled 45 degrees to promote Head Nod® posture. There is a video on how to use this in the Educational Resources Library.
Standing Desk Solution
Set yourself up for long-term injury management and prevention. Solution includes standing desk, stool and ergo consult on set-up. This is appropriate at week 4.
Spine Corrector
The Spine Corrector is a critical piece of exercise equipment for those with collapsed upper back posture. It is prescribed for anyone that cannot stack their upper back that requires a safer entry into upper thoracic spine self-mobility than provided by the foam roller. Ideal for those with scoliosis, arthritis, spinal stenosis, neck pain or shoulder pain.
Purchase includes the level 1 workout video of the Spine Corrector Program.
Exercise Bar
Exercise bars are used to start the functional overhead lifting series within Healthy Posture System™. Women usually are prescribed the 5 lb. bar and men the 8 lb. bar. We will purchase CAP bars when possible as they allow you to slide your kettle bells over them to add resistance without additional purchase.
Purchase includes instructional video on how and when to use an exercise bar within the Healthy Posture System™.
Customized Exercise Mat
The foot placement for all standing exercises and hand placement for the Chest Lift® Series are specific for each individual to ensure access to neutral spine alignment is optimized. This purchase includes a 15-minute telehealth session to customize your exercise mat. *
Magic Circle (Pilates Ring)
The magic circle is used to correct an elevated 1st rib. It is also used to strengthen your internal rotators during overhead elevation. At level 5 of the program you may be taught how to mobilize your lower cervical spine using the magic circle.
Pro-roller Arch
The Pro-roller Arch is used during side lying external rotation to provide a support for the elbow to best isolate the teres minor and infraspinatus. It also stabilizes the foam roller when performing the shoulder mobility series. At level 5 we teach the Knee Self-correction technique with the Pro-Roller Arch.
Dumbbells
The rotator cuff consists of 4 very small muscles, about the size of a piece of sushi. Their strengthening requires much lighter resistance. 2lb. + 4 lb. dumbbells are a safe and appropriate starting point for their strengthening.
Exercise Balls
We use exercise balls in the early stages of the Healthy Hip and Knee Program to restore functional mobility and strengthen the core.
