Exclusive Engagement:
Depreciation of a worker’s productivity is a significant costthat is not a deductible expense on a company’s tax return.Just as management will do what it takes to protect thelongevity of it’s other valuable assets, care should be taken to protect the well-being of each employee.
Companies now recognize that an increase in the overall mental and physical health of its employees will result in adecrease in overall costs.
A wellness program that educates employees and makes it easier for them to institute a healthier lifestyle will result inhigher productivity, reduced absenteeism, reduced health-carecosts, and lower worker compensation costs.
The corporation’s bottom line is directly related to the employee’shealth. The average company spends 45 percent of its after-taxprofits on health benefits.
Companies that take pro-active steps to protect their “intellectualcapital” will enjoy a reduction in health related costs and anincrease in the overall well-being of their workforce.
Bottom Line.....healthy employees are more productive andmore cost effective.

Imagine a line from your ear,
middle of your shoulder, center of your hip,
just slightly behind the center of your knee
and in line with your ankle bone.
This is correct posture.
Importance of Good PostureCorrect posture is the foundation to good health and well-being. Along with a strong core, good
posture helps to maintain a healthy back, it holds your body upright and improves your balance.
This culminates in maintaining optimum mobility and protection from the risk of over-extension.
Good Posture leads to the following:
• keeps joints in the correct alignment so that
muscles are being used properly
• helps decrease the abnormal wearing of joint
surfaces that could result in arthritis
• decreases the stress on the ligaments holding
the joints of the spine together
• prevents the spine from becoming
fixed in abnormal positions
• prevents fatigue because muscles
are being used more efficiently,
allowing the body to use less energy
• prevents strain or overuse problems
• prevents backache and muscular pain
• contributes to a good appearance
Poor posture leads to the following:
• neck and back pain
• poor digestion
• obesity
• sight problems
• nerve problems
• low confidence
• fatigue
• low motivation
Does your workforce exhibit
the following traits?

It is an indisputable fact that if a person stands tall—with their shouldersback, breathing deeply from the chest and looking upward with a leveledhead—they are going to radiate with a sense of confidence. Conversely,those who slouch—with drooping shoulders, shallow breathing, and adownward gaze—project an air of lethargy and ill-ease.
I know, I know, your mother has said this for years: “Stand up straight! Youare going to get a hump in your back if you don’t.”
Stand up straight. Sound simple enough, right?
Then why are you unable to hold the position for more than a few seconds?And if you do hold the position, why does it hurt between the shoulders,making you melt back into a hunched over position?
One must understand a few key concepts before you undertake the essentiallyeffortless but important task of improving your posture. You can’t becomea “swan” from an “ugly-duckling” unless you understand that posture isone of the most powerful physical manifestations of personality!
Within seconds of assuming the posture of a happy person, your brainbelieves you are excited and enthusiastic. Alternately, the posture of alethargic, depressed person can reinforce the sensation of sadness anddisempowerment.
Can you imagine a runway model or the president having poor posture?Perfect posture provides this level of confidence within seconds.
Your spinal muscles need to be conditioned to hold your head and shouldersupright, as these are often the most neglected muscles. Since our society isvery forward-oriented and we spend a lot of time eating, reading, writing,working on the computer, and watching TV, gravity constantly pusheddown on our 10 to 15 pound heads, causing headaches, neck discomfort,and mid-back pain.
The Correctore—an easy-to-use, wearable posture-perfecting tool—eliminates all this strain and pulls you into correct posture immediately.
Daily use of the Correctore Posture Strengthening System and its exerciseprogram will assist you in strengthening the muscles needed for good posture.It will provide you with the energy and stamina you need to hold perfectposture, giving you a more attractive presence for a longer period of time.Based on the proven benefits of elastic resistance training, the Correctoreis a low-tech, easy to use solution to the problem of bad posture.
It doesn’t matter how old you are; it is conclusive that the health implicationsof exercise can reverse the osteoporotic changes that occur in bone.Exercise causes a slight, gradual and consistent amount of positive healthystress on the muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and discs of the spine,forcing minerals and other building blocks into nutrient rich musculoskeletaltissue for greater stability and a reduced risk of injury.
Improved posture has several immediate changes and long term benefits:
• Internal and external representations of confidence and self-esteem• Greater desirability and allure• Less potential for the ill-fated Dowagers Hump• Decreased potential for neck strains and sprains• Reduced risk for osteoporosis• Less potential for headaches• Fewer wrinkles in the front portion of the neck• Reduction in the appearance of a double chin
Proper posture is the right choice for improved employee wellness.
The Correctore is the right choice for improving posture.
Be a hero for your employees: help them attain improved posture and better health.

INSTANT ERGONOMICSDoes your workforce exhibit the following traits, slouching, low motivation, poor health,
back pain? These are problems caused by poor posture. For every 10 degrees that the neck
and head lean forward, 40 pounds of extra pressure is added to the lower back. Back support
is especially important for people who spend many hours sitting in an office chair or standing throughout the day.
The Correctore is designed to encourage the body to maintain upright posture, putting less stress on the lower back.
