Pivotal Therapy System or Parts - Spine Alignment - For over 30 years, the Pivotal Therapy System has been used by physical therapists, massage therapists, chiropractors and people with spinal symptoms to treat soft tissue issues related to all areas of the spine. By nature, it takes time to slowly re-posture the spine and its soft tissues although improvement is often noticed quickly. Based on the progressive increments of time and gravity and your body's weight, this system can assist your body to relax and strengthen muscles helping maintain healthy spinal alignment. Each component of the Pivotal Therapy System may be used individually to address a patient’s specific problem/complaint or the whole system can be used to treat the entire spine. Latex Free.
Concepts of Posture/Pivotal Therapy
The design and therapy of the Soft Tissue is based on the progressive increased use of time and gravity as a reversal of abnormal sustained postures or positions. It takes time to slowly reposture the spine and it's soft tissue components. Pivotal Therapy is of excellent value in helping to expedite this process and encouraging restoration of normal function. Pivotal Therapy does this by strengthening muscles which support improved posture and also back pain. It took years to cause abnormal sustained postures or positions and it will take days, weeks, months or even years to correct this position.
