Rest & Recovery

Recovery is Part of Real Posture Correction. Here’s How to Do It Safely.

Using the Posture Rocket is an active process of reshaping your body's blueprint, and just like any deep tissue work, a period of rest and recovery is essential. This page is designed to help you understand the process, manage expectations, and ensure your journey to better posture is safe and effective.

Common Side Effects to Expect

These effects are normal and are signs that your body is adapting to the work you're doing.

It's common to feel a deep ache or soreness in your back, neck, or shoulders. This is similar to the feeling you get after a good workout, as you're engaging and releasing muscles that have been dormant or chronically tight.

Your body may feel a little stiff or tight in the hours after a session. This is a natural response as your nervous system and fascia adapt to their new, more mobile state.

As you release deep tension around your diaphragm and core, you might notice slight changes in digestion. This is temporary and a positive sign of internal release.

What to Expect: The Timeline of Adaptation

The body doesn't correct decades of poor posture overnight. Think of the process in phases:

Initial Phase

(2-4 Months)

You may feel more pronounced soreness or discomfort. Your body is just beginning to release old patterns. Stick with it- this is the most critical time for change.

Adaptation Phase

(4-6 Months)

Discomfort will likely decrease, and you'll begin to notice subtle improvements in your posture and mobility. The discomfort becomes less of a surprise and more of a feeling of "good work."

Maintenance Phase

(6+ Months)

Your body has adapted. Your sessions feel more comfortable, and you're focusing on maintaining your new, improved posture and mobility.

Everyone's body is different. It took our founder over 2.5 years to get his posture from poor to normal! And he knew he reached perfect posture when it simply stopped hurting when using the Posture Rocket 1.0. But what we are confident with is that if it's hurting, it's working.

Warning Signs: When to Stop

A sharp or electrical pain is a red flag. Discomfort should be a dull ache, not a searing pain.

If you experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in your arms, hands, legs, or feet, stop immediately.

If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or nauseous during or after a session, stop and seek medical advice.

Safety Tips: Listen to Your Body

Gentle is Key

It's not about force. Allow the Posture Rocket to do the work. Use a gentle, rocking motion and avoid abrupt or jerky movements.

Stop If It's Too Much

Listen to your body. If you feel sharp, shooting pain or significant discomfort, stop and take a break. You can always try again with a lighter touch.

Give Yourself a Break

Use the Posture Rocket every other day if you're feeling particularly sore, allowing your body a day to recover between sessions.

Recovery Methods

These simple steps can significantly enhance your body's healing process.

Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Water helps rehydrate the fascia and flushes out waste products from the tissue you're releasing.
Gentle Stretching: Light, gentle stretching or walking on your off days can keep your muscles mobile and prevent stiffness. Focus on movements that feel good and don't strain your body.
Rest: Prioritize good sleep. This is when your body does most of its healing and adaptation.
Breathing: Practice deep, diaphragmatic breathing. This helps relax the muscles you're working on and improves circulation to the released areas.
Heat: applying heat to your

FAQs

This is a very common and normal initial response. Your body's nervous system is adapting to the new length and mobility of your tissue. This stiffness should subside within a few sessions as your body adapts.

As often as you want to, for as long as you need to. Our Founder would go hours sometimes or just 30 minutes. You have to listen to your body.

If you have a pre-existing medical condition or injury, we strongly recommend consulting with a doctor or physical therapist before using the Posture Rocket.

The discomfort you feel while using the Posture Rocket should be a satisfying, deep ache. This is a sign that you're releasing tight tissue. "Bad" pain, on the other hand, is a sharp, shooting, or burning sensation. It's your body's signal to stop. Always prioritize the deep, achey pressure and stop immediately if you feel sharp pain.

The Posture Rocket is made of high-density foam that is easy to clean. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and a mild soap or a disinfectant wipe after use. Allow it to air dry completely before storing.

For the most effective and targeted release, we recommend using the Posture Rocket on a firm surface, such as a yoga mat on the floor. A soft surface like a bed can absorb some of the pressure, reducing the depth of the release.

Yes, it is common and completely normal to experience a gentle popping or cracking sound. This is known as cavitation, and it's the sound of gas being released from your joints as pressure changes. It is not an indication of damage and is often accompanied by a feeling of relief.

Proper use of the Posture Rocket is a collaboration between you and the tool. You'll know you're using it correctly when you listen to your body and engage with the process; the right technique involves breathing deeply, sinking into the tool, and using gentle rotation and small rolling motions to find and release tension. Your body will give you clear signals: the sensation should be a deep, satisfying ache, which indicates a positive release of fascial tension. If you feel a sharp or shooting pain, that's your brain's signal to ease off or change position, because the best guide is always the feedback from your own body.
