Upright Pro Posture Trainer Australian Review
A bad posture is one of the most common conditions Australians suffer from; it can be caused by long hours spent behind a desk or worsen as we age. And while the causes may vary from one person to the other, treating this condition requires time, effort and most importantly CONSISTENCY which is something that many people can’t achieve because of to their busy life.
Fortunately, scientists managed to develop smart wearable devices that can detect a bad posture, help improve it dramatically, take little to no effort to operate and that can be used literally anywhere. In this article we will be reviewing Upright PRO, one of the leading Posture Training devices in the industry.
What is Upright PRO?
UPRIGHT is a multiple awards-winning posture training brand (Winner of “Health and Wellbeing Tech of the Year” 2017); The upright PRO is their very first product, which is aimed to help you achieve a better posture while performing your daily tasks. Its goal is to stimulate your muscles’ memory to maintain that good posture on the long term. Once this smart wearable device is switched on and connected to the free mobile app, it is then attached directly to the upper or lower back using small adhesives that come with it.
Basically, the device will start generating vibrations whenever you’re slouching and stop when you’re not, it is a very simple concept but there’s a lot more to this technology than it seems. Equipped with a lot more sensors and allowing a more accurate detection than most posture training devices, Upright PRO managed to top all its competition and lead the market.
Another feature about Upright PRO is that it gives instant feedback (Unlike other devices which may take up to 3 seconds to notify the user), and not to mention the custom 21 days training plans generated by Upright PRO’s app which is yet another great feature that will help you achieve your ideal posture goals.
