„Ergoskin“ is an orthopedic underwear with ergonomic bio-feedback to promote a positive posture: nano-sized, locational „sensors“ and „pistons“ are woven into the fabric in order to act either neutral when the posture is ideal as programmed or to release mechanical impulses to the skin when a non-ideal posture is assumed for too long – the feedback is on a time-lapse, as constant movement (tensing and relaxing of muscle groups) is endorsed. The result is a change in habits – one learns to eventually correct their posture on a subconscious level as opposed to assuming the common slouch.
So sit up, stand upright, shoulders back, tummy in, distribute your weight evenly, lengthen your spine… and breathe.
