Body & Posture

As time takes its toll on us, our tissues shorten and harden and we slowly lose our flexibility. This doesn't have to be the case, but many of us accept it as a fact of life. However, when the tightening presents in the form of pain (an inability to be plumb in the gravitational field due to creeping crookedness), we really begin to notice.

Below are products that are helpful: the G-seat (invented by friends) that gently re-positions you as you sit, and topical magnesium cream/spray/gel that you can use as often as you need to, which will supplement your system with an important mineral as it relieves pain.

G-Seat Elite

Hot off the press! A brilliant mid-size G-Seat cross

More compact than the older Ultra, this new model will support just about anyone working at a desk or driving in a truck or car. Same features as the Ultra: S-curve support, pressure off the tailbone, and the trademark carrying handle.
Best way to use a G-Seat: Make sure your body angles are perpendicular. Thighs should be at right angle to back (90 degrees), knees when sitting should not be higher than hips.

G-Seat Elite $95

Color may vary with available stock: Black or Chrome (dark metallic gray)

G-Seat Lite

New and redesigned! Perfect for women and medium-to-small frames

With the same performance features of the larger G-Seat, long-lasting and non-compacting. A firm, fabric-covered foam/gel product (less gel than older models) that pops you up as you sit so your spine is properly aligned. Folds in half, and you can carry it by the handle. Same therapeutic properties as the bigger models (see Elite above), just smaller in size and weighs a lot less. For desk, car, even works on upholstered furniture!

G-Seat Lite $69

Mg2+ Magnesium Cream

Our body needs magnesium as much as it needs iodine (see Health tab). An electrolyte that serves as a mediator in many biochemical processes, magnesium also relaxes tissues, alleviating muscle and joint pain. Essential for proper neurological functionality, the most effective uptake method for magnesium is transdermal, or through the skin.

This particular magnesium cream contains rich and penetrating emollients. Made with magnesium chloride from the ancient Zechstein sea, it doesn't sting (as does saturated magnesium oil), and it feels and smells wonderful! Use liberally, on sore joints and muscles - or anywhere - and your body will appreciate it. (With grapeseed and coconut oils, shea butter, beeswax and 14% magnesium chloride.)

3-ounce jar $11 -- perfect for purse or gym!

Magnesium Gel

Simply formulated using a natural cellulose as the gel base, this 33% magnesium-chloride concentration contains no oils and can be used topically for magnesium supplementation, as well as to relax muscles and combat stiffness and pain.

3-ounce tube $10

Magnesium Chloride Spray

Popular as a pain-relief remedy for sore muscles and stiff joints, magnesium chloride spray (a.k.a. magnesium "oil") is a 33% brine (saturated solution) that also transfers essential magnesium into your body. A great way to supplement oral magnesium, and topical/transdermal application also delivers magnesium's muscle-relaxing effect exactly where you want it. Anti-microbial, you can also use this as an inexpensive and extremely efficient underarm deodorant (will sting on the days you shave)!
