Disabled Inventor Revolutionizes Neck Brace Design
Shane Peters invents flexible tubing neck brace that supports the head while giving the neck muscles full range of motion. The brace is ideal for easing painful debilitating conditions affecting the neck, such as ALS, torticollis, Parkinson's disease, and any other ailments that cause the neck to weaken.
Scottsdale, AZ--April 05, 2011--
There is a new neck support brace on the market that holds the head in a normal position while giving the head full range of motion. It is effective for recovery for almost any neck injury and neck strain problem. This neck support brace system is made of plastic tubing which provides a flexible fit and a very low profile appearance.
This new brace was invented by Shane Peters, a chronic severe torticollis sufferer himself, after doctors told him regular soft-collar braces weakened the neck muscles if they were worn for an extended time. His stiffening neck muscles drew his head to one side with the chin pointing toward the other side. Shane was in a tonic, or permanent, state. Various treatments were tried, but to no avail.
Shane began working on a project to relieve his pain and improve his posture--a neck brace made from stiff, yet flexible, tubing. After a year of work, he perfected it.
Peters' health care provider, Charles Harmston, P.A. said, "It appears that he has a good product that can help other people with this condition, or for any condition that a good supportive neck brace would be needed... I recommend it."
A customer who has worn the brace for over a month commented, "I read about 'Shane's Brace' [and] emailed him immediately and met with him the next day. He had tailored a brace to fit my neck. The brace is light weight and adjustable and I have been wearing it for about a week. It supports the head and neck quite adequately and my posture is improved when wearing it. It is very comfortable."
People need neck brace support for many reasons. Sometimes the condition is transient and expected to resolve with treatment. Sometimes it is chronic and the sufferer can expect to need a brace for the rest of his life. No matter what the cause, the condition is usually painful.
Whatever the reason, the neck brace should help relieve pain, not cause more discomfort. The average person's head weighs fifteen pounds. If the neck muscles are weak, the head will tilt causing health problems, poor posture, and balance.
Shane's neck support brace comes with several different vertical link sizes that are easily removable and replaced for a more custom tailored fit. Unique in its design, this device does not restrict head and neck movement. It therefore can be worn for extended periods of time without degrading muscle tone.
It has a firm fit with a Velcro fastener, and a removable, machine-washable cover and provides 360 degree support as needed, and can be used for a variety of conditions.
It also improves posture and balance, and helps prevent muscle spasms and neck fatigue. Shane's brace will give as much support as less attractive appliances. It is very light weight, has ease of application and removal, and is easy to clean.
Shane himself has worn one of these braces for several months, and has been able to hold his head erect and feel more confident. Over the past several months, he has felt less discomfort in his neck and has a much better outlook.
Peters hopes to share his invention with others who face chronic, severe neck pain and now is offering it for sale. For more information about the brace, visit http://shanes-neck-support-brace.com.
