South West Health has partnered with Intelliskin, a local Newport Beach based company to help improve the posture of our patients and our athletes. The shirt is designed to simulate a kinesio tape procedure that we do in the office for postural correction. The shoulders are pulled back and scapulae retracted in such a way that the postural stabilizers are activated. The Intelliskin shirt allows our patients and athletes to essentially tape themselves by wearing the shirt. The shirt helps keep the shoulders in the ideal position for throwing athletes like baseball players,quarterbacks, and water polo players.

 It is excellent for athletes that accelerate their arms in sports like volleyball. Athletes wear the shirt during competition and after  as a faster way to recover from the repetitive micro-trauma of their sport. The shirt is also an essential part of maintaining proper posture when sitting at work in front of a computer.

The IntelliSkin shirt is scientifically designed to retrain your body to achieve optimal muscular balance and function through proper alignment and quality of movement. Created by sports medicine expert and accomplished athlete, Dr. Tim Brown, IntelliSkin products incorporate advanced sports science, medical research and design and construction to naturally trigger an instant, predictable sensory motor response. Positive results are nearly 100% predictable, which is why IntelliSkin is the intelligent second skin recommended by leading health professionals and elite athletes worldwide.

IntelliSkin Technology stimulates your skin’s nerve receptors to create intelligent noise that self-corrects muscle imbalances common to most everyone. Over time and with consistent use, the IntelliSkin shirt retrains your body to maintain correct posture through natural muscle memory. 

The shirt comes in many styles and sizes. Give our office a call and set up a fitting appointment for your Intelliskin shirt today. 949.631.5226 Ext 10.
