Posture Pump Instructions

A neck and spine exercise tool that decompresses, shapes and lubricates a person's neck and spine, the Posture Pump comes in four different models. It works by expanding and contracting the vertebrae in the neck and back with a manually controlled pumping action. The equipment's purpose is to realign bones while hydrating discs and joints to straighten posture. Before using the Posture Pump, the manufacturer recommends multiple neck and back warm-up exercises.
