CAN HAVING BETTER POSTURE MAKE YOU SMARTER?

“Better than 90 percent of the brain’s output is directed towards maintaining your body in its gravitational field. Therefore, the less energy one spends on posture, the more energy is available for healing, digestion, and critical thinking.”

Roger Wolcott Sperry (1981 Nobel prize winner in Physiology, Medicine, and Brain Research)

POSTURE AFFECTS EVERY FUNCTION IN THE HUMAN BODY!

“The corollary of these observations is that many symptoms, including pain, may be moderated or eliminated by improved posture.”

THE INTELLISKIN SHIRT PROMOTES IMPROVED POSTURE!

“Strapless posture apparel is also ideal for encouraging scapular retraction. The IntelliSkin shirts use the same concepts as postural taping to promote optimal posture and scapular positioning.”

INTELLISKIN SHIRTS WERE SHOWN TO BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO IMPROVE POSTURE!

sEMG was utilized to demonstrate a quantifiable increase in muscle activation/inhibition patterns (synonymous with improved posture) which validate the benefits of the Intelliskin technology utilized in the Foundation shirt vs. the leading compression/performance apparel. Decreased incidence of shoulder injuries in over-head athletes who train and recover in Intelliskin shirts!

The UCI Men’s Volleyball team are in the 2nd year of a 3 year IRB approved study to determine the benefits of the Intelliksin shirt, with regards to reducing the incidence of shoulder related injuries with overhead athletes. After the 1st year, for the first time in recent program history, no incidence of shoulder injury was recorded with the athletes from the Men’s Volleyball team who wore their Intelliskin shirts for practice, training and recovery.

INTELLISKIN TECHNOLOGY USED TO AVOID SURGERY WITH PATIENTS!

Presently conducting ongoing Case studies to quantify the effects of utilizing the LC- Reactivator 1 shorts for reducing pain and other symptoms associated with Osteoarthritis and other conditions of the hip.
