Thoracic Wedge

Our Thoracic Wedge helps correct a forward head posture, a rounded upper back, shoulders, and swayed back posture.

To use the Thoracic Wedge, place your pillow on the floor with a yoga mat. Solid surfaces only. Do not use on a bed or couch. To begin start with positioning your pillow on the instructed lower, mid, or upper back area. You will use the Thoracic Wedge 3 times a day. On the first day, you will use your wedge for 1 minute each time. Each day, you will increase the time by 1 minute. The goal is to lay in the instructed position 3 times a day for 20 minutes each time at most. Your routine should be spread out throughout the day. DO NOT use your wedge for more than 20 minutes each time. You may not bundle your three sets into one session. If you feel as though your wedge might not be placed correctly, please notify the staff and we will remind you of your exact positioning. When laying on your wedge, you may put a pillow under your thighs and knees to relieve low back pressure. To get up, roll onto your side, fully onto your shoulder, and slowly rise.

*Soreness, numbness, and tingling may occur. Please stop using it immediately if you experience sharpshooting pain and notify our staff.

*This piece of equipment is to be used as an exercise piece. Only use as intended and instructed.
