Patent ID: 12004988

Abstract:
Devices for and methods of measuring, enhancing, and facilitating optimal spinal alignment utilizing an Atlas bar with an Atlas pad inserted into an Atlas sheath, configured when worn by a user to rest on three distinct areas of the user's spine: (a) the Atlas pad at the center of the Atlas vertebra; (b) the Atlas sheath at the center of the thoracic region; and (c) a sacrum pad on the Atlas sheath at the center of the sacrum. Atlas pads may be removed and replaced as the user's spinal alignment improves. Devices may be held in place on the user's body with a torso harness, affixed in jackets or other wearable garments, or backpacks. In use, the Atlas bar and sheath are in simultaneous physical contact with three areas of the user's spine, providing tactile feedback to the user and creating proprioceptive awareness resulting in improving spinal alignment over time.
