ABOUT
PostureFit has been developed by Physical Therapists to support and retrain correct postural awareness. It is an ergonomically designed posture support for professionals, students, administrators in the office or working from home. The unique lightweight design, padded straps and breathable mesh provide the ideal balance of comfort and effectiveness, which can be worn for several hours or all day for optimal postural support.
The PostureFit has been engineered to provide biomechanical support to postural (tonic) muscles and encourages activation of more stabilising (phasic) muscle groups. With regular wear, the PostureFit retrains the individual’s awareness of neutral posture via proprioceptive feedback mechanisms (i.e. retraining the brains perception of correct posture).
Due to chronic poor posture, the musculoskeletal system compensates, often resulting in upper back pain, neck pain, headaches and recurrent shoulder injuries. Awareness of poor posture diminishes over time as the brain attempts to adapt to these changes. Supporting and retraining your posture with PostureFit, is the most effective way to improve your posture immediately and into the future.
Well then the PostureFit is for you! The PostureFit has however been designed for everyone, so even if you are not experiencing the above symptoms we recommend incorporating the PostureFit into your working life to prevent any future posture problems and to reap the benefits of training your posture daily.
There are many benefits to wearing the PostureFit on a regular basis. Some of the key benefits may include the following:
FITTING AND SIZING
Before ordering, please refer to the size guide (LINK) and measure up as indicated. When measuring, please make sure you set your shoulders in the ideal position (down and back ‘put your shoulders in your back pockets’) to ensure an accurate measurement.
Should your back measurement fall between sizes, please go down a size. The PostureFit is intended to actively support and retrain optimal posture, rather than be a passive, loose fit.
The PostureFit is easy to fit with the fully adjustable velcro straps. Simply glide the straps through the corresponding clips before fitting. Please see our Instructional video for correct fitting and adjusting. (LINK)
The PostureFit should sit firmly around the shoulders, and gently guide the shoulders into the optimal position. The PostureFit is intended to actively support and retrain optimal posture, rather than a passive, loose fit.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The PostureFit was designed in Queensland, Australia, by a team of dedicated physical therapists. The team is passionate about improving the posture and well-being of individuals and maintaining a fit and confident posture for people of all ages.
Yes. The PostureFit is designed to alleviate stress and strain on the muscles and joints of the neck, upper back and shoulders. It does this by both supporting and retraining the brains understanding of neutral position. Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI’s) occur when the biomechanics are habitually placed under repetitive load or in a compromised static position (usually with a forward head position and rounded (anterior) shoulders).
The PostureFit is designed to become an integral part of correct ergonomics either in the office or WFH. Used in conjunction with an approved sit-to-stand desk, adjustable ergo chair (or equivalent) with lumbar support, ergo keyboards, adequate lighting, glare minimising screens, and suitable footwear, the PostureFit may minimise the long term effects of constant sitting.
What materials is the PostureFit made from?
The PostureFit is comprised of a nylon back mesh, a foam-filled shoulder strap, a water-resistance nylon trim and neoprene comfort sleeves. We aim to provide the best quality product on the market, and therefore only premium materials have been used in its construction. Great care has also been taken with the design to ensure the best possible balance between comfort and effectiveness with the selection of these materials.
No. There are no latex materials used in the PostureFit design.
Yes. No animal products are used during the manufacturing process. Not Tested on Animals.

Yes. The PostureFit is designed to retrain optimum posture and raise awareness of correct posture……even when you’re not wearing it!
Improving and maintaining confident upright posture requires ongoing awareness and training to offset the effects of stationary device use. While ever we continue to spend prolonged hours on devices, laptops and computers, this will be a continual process.
No. The PostureFit is designed to retrain optimal posture via proprioceptive feedback (i.e. retrains the brains perception of neutral position). The PostureFit is not designed to be used as a passive device upon which the user becomes reliant upon over time.
The PostureFit is designed for children over the age of 12 years. It is prescribed for activities such as studying, gaming or prolonged device use.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Do NOT place the PostureFit in the Washing Machine or Dryer. Placing the item in the washing machine may destroy the shape of the product and shorten the life of the velcro straps.
