Bad posture is an epidemic that’s sweeping the nation. Let’s face it…we all find ourselves needing a reminder to stop slouching every now and again! After years of staring down at smartphones, hunching over desks, and physically pushing our bodies, the bad habit of poor posture can be challenging to break. Just like that feeling after your first week in the gym, training yourself to sit up straight can cause discomfort and soreness on the untrained muscles, causing many people not to make the effort.
Bad posture habits not only effect our outward appearance, they affect our health and mental well being, creating dis-ease, disease, and burnout! The negatives of having poor posture are not to be ignored. This habit shrinks your organ cavities and restricts breathing. It adds physical stress to the body due to abnormal friction of joints.
Poor posture has been linked to several physical and mental health problems including:
We call the Body’s Best Friend a posture trainer because – unlike most posture ‘correctors’ – it’s not a brace or a harness. The BBF’s patented signalling technology will make your body aware of the proper posture, resulting in muscle memory and conscious correction. The more you wear it, the more your brain will remember to stand, sit and move in correct position, even after removing the trainer! The Body’s Best Friend is like having a personal trainer with you at all times, reminding you to find your proper posture.
The BBF triggers muscles in the body to act to enhance posture. Regular use will result in muscle memory – a new awareness of the correct position – that lasts even when you take it off.
The BBF’s unique signalling technology has been granted a patent by the USPTO. The breathable mesh Front Signalling Panel sends pressure signals to the muscles to correct posture, while the Deltoid Arm Strap allows the arms to hang freely and the neck to elongate . The Inner Back Elastic is strategically placed from the front strap to the center back to help you lift and pull your shoulders into correct position.
The BBF is comfortable and easy to wear under clothing. It can be used to enhance performance in sports such as golf, running, and yoga, when at the office, driving, or doing yard work. It is not restrictive!
You may think the Deltoid Arm Strap looks uncomfortable or confining, but it’s not. Because of how the strap positions your arms, your body has less tension in the neck, shoulders and spine. The result? Less pain and a more functional body! You will move how your body is meant to move. Say goodbye to rounded shoulders, back pain, and forward head tilt – REDISCOVER PERFECT POSTURE!
We use only the best fabrication on our trainer. Superior packaging makes the BBF great for gifts.
Proper posture leads to better health, confidence, and appearance.
Some of the many long term benefits of having proper posture include:

To learn more about the Body’s Best Friend from one of our founders, check out this segment on WLUK Fox 11’s Living With Amy. BBF co-founder, Carlyn Weiler, discusses the BBF’s patented signalling technology and details about our Kickstarter Launch. Thanks Living With Amy for sharing in our posture revolution!
The idea for the BBF started in 1996, when co-founder and movement therapist, Carlyn Weiler, was working in collaboration with the Austrian school system helping children and their families become more aware of their poor posture habits. The projects were funded by the Austrian government. Over the years, she and her husband, co-founder Wolfgang Weiler, created exercise programs (now known as the Weiler Method™ ) to mold the body into perfect posture. After working with thousands of clients for over 30 years, and seeing the positive results and success of their work, they wanted to replicate the movement and proprioception technique in to a wearable posture trainer.
Their goal with the Body’s Best Friend was to make people feel like they had a personal trainer by their side at all time, reminding them to stand up straight and achieve perfect posture, even when they couldn’t be there.
The Weilers own and operate the Weiler Academy, a well-known fitness and wellness studio in Green Bay, Wisconsin with an extensive list of clients who fly in from all over the country to use their services. The Weilers’ knowledge and background as international trainers and wellness experts and the passion they share in the industry, has led them to see the need to share this project with the world!
We understand first hand, it’s a long and complex process to develop and launch a product! We spent 2 1/2 years sourcing the perfect materials and sampling dozens of prototypes to get to where we are today. Our approved fabrics and trims are currently stocked at our overseas manufacturing partner, we are just waiting for you! We are so excited to fulfill your pledges and have your join our posture revolution!
