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 Midsize Ergonomic Pad

A mid-size G-Seat cross for medium-to-large bodies

More compact than the Ultra, this 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. Customers report relief of pain and discomfort, especially when sitting for long periods of time.

Tips for use: 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.

Color: Black

Note: The G-Seat repositions your pelvis into a proper sitting position. It may seem odd at first (most people feel relief and support), so give it a few days. Weak core muscles develop with neck-drop and slouching that is the way most people sit (without realizing it). Over time, using the G-seat, your core muscles will strengthen and your spinal curve will likely improve.

100% Pure Medical Grade DMSO

NEW! DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide) has long been known to speed healing of musculoskeletal issues and athletic injuries. Presented as such by Dr. Stanley Jacob of University of Oregon to the American College of Surgeons in 1963, DMSO made newspaper headlines and became an overnight sensation until the FDA waged a war against it and its utilities were forgotten. The Midwestern Doctor on Substack writes that DMSO is one of the safest medically active substances in existence: "If I were on a desert island or knew the world was ending and could only bring a few [things] with me, one of them would be DMSO."

Generally used topically to address pain and inflammation, DMSO is the parent molecule of MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) sulfur that is generally taken internally (see our MSM on our Health page) as a nutritional supplement. Read an introduction to DMSO here.

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 wonderful and rich on the skin. 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.)

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.

Non-Greasy Magnesium Oil

Popular as a pain-relief remedy for sore muscles and stiff joints, magnesium chloride "oil" is a non-greasy 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)!
