TT Vest (THORACIC TRAINER)

Specially designed for correcting shoulder position, function and overall body symmetry. 

With improvement to shoulder blade position, overall shoulder range and strength can be restored and pain often resolved simultaneously and instantaneously.

Through a series of integrated components this revolutionary close-contact gilet style vest effectively controls the Scapulae (shoulder blades), aligning spinal structures and stabilising the pelvis for overall improvement to posture. 

Vital biofeedback through self-correction whilst wearing the vest, and our ability to retrain muscle memory is an important element of this product. This removes the need for continuous wear and eliminates dependency.

Successfully treats Scapular Dyskinesis (winging shoulder blade(s), all closed clavicle (collarbone) fractures, including those normally surgically plated, skeletal deformity and many other injuries and conditions of the torso. 

With modern living wrong posture inevitably returns as muscle memory fades. By wearing the vest good posture habit can be retained avoiding those painful debilitating bouts. 

Athletes too are using the vest during training for both building muscles safely to aid recovery after rigorous exercise and competitions.

Research by London consultant and shoulder guru Mr Ian Bayley illustrates how important it is to identify wrong shoulder action and the consequences of ignoring it. Scapular Dyskinesis (winging shoulder blades) Scapular Dyskinesis

KEY POINTS,

✔ Powerful body restructuring and core strengthening without creating dependency

✔ Maintains effective shoulder control, holding the shoulder blades (scapulae) close to the chest wall

✔ Effective musculoskeletal alignment, improves balance, strength and nerve-flow

✔ Provides essential bio-feedback for a better understanding of how 'good posture' should feel,instilling subconscious and automatic self-correction

✔ Lifts the diaphragm up and away from pelvic activity, reducing strain on the lower back

✔ Stretches and opens the chest area for better posture and breathing

✔ Stimulates a better brain-body connection bringing greater awareness of shoulder blade position

✔ Trains the brain and body to adopt symmetry without thinking about it

Surprising and Powerful Links Between Posture and Mood 

WHAT IS GOOD POSTURE? 

MEDICAL FINDINGS

✔ Our studies indicate that by wearing the vest for as little as two days consecutively, musculoskeletal alignment and muscle patterning can be significantly improved, even after removing muscle memory retains good posture, although for how long depends on the individual.

 ✔ Within as little as 20 minutes of wearing tension in the shoulders, and neck can disappear. This may depend on the severity and can take up to two days 

✔ As a useful diagnostics tool i.e. for unexplained hip pain.
- An example case, chronic pain was eliminated unmasking an un-diagnosed shoulder blade winging condition, Scapular Dyskinesis a debilitating and prior to this product, an incurable condition affecting a significant proportion of the population, most of whom are often unaware of it. Thanks to the vest, a successful treatment is now available. Best used in conjuction with physiotherapy

✔ May help prevent the onset of sciatica and is known to alleviate back and sciatic nerve pain

✔ Improvement in breathing has also been reported. COPD sufferers have found benefit and as a result, have been able to reduce steroid puffer use

✔ Can improve muscle soreness [*DOMS] recovery time after working out 
*delayed-onset muscle soreness

 WHY IS GOOD POSTURE SO DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE?

Our shoulder blades dictate the position of our shoulders and shoulder blades have few mechanoreceptors (the means by which the brain connects to them). This, therefore, means that we don't know where our shoulders are in relation to the rest of our body.

Combine this with long hours spent hunched over mobiles and computers plus, tiredness and the brains reluctance to accept us being upright beings (The brain wants us safely down on all fours), generations growing taller, living longer, then you begin to see why we ALL need help with our posture.
