Features and Benefits:
TheraTogs Posture & Torso Alignment (PTA) System is the preferred starting point for seeing improvements in upper body alignment and posture by taking advantage of our neuromotor system’s ability to learn and adapt to corrected alignment. The PTA system consists of two garments and a small set of straps – a basic system that’s simple to apply, cost-effective, and easy to learn how to use. Leverages the human ‘upright’ response to improved functional alignment The PTA System includes the same TankTop and Hipster as the Full Body System, and is a good introduction to working with and using TheraTogs because you can see immediate results. The PTA system is simple to use, it only takes a few minutes to put on, and it gives the wearer postural and torso retraining all day long. By focusing on trunk stability and postural alignment, you’ll lay the foundation for even more advanced outcomes.
