Symmetry contracted with Anthony Colvard, a Research Scientist in Kinesiology at California State University-Sacramento, to review our data and provide an independent analysis of client results over time. Anthony’s concluded “In summary, implementation of Symmetry’s AlignSmart™ exercise system is associated with improvements in posture measured by postural factor scores and individual non-invasive measurements of posture across the human body. These improvements occur independent of health status, allowing for postural correction through algorithmically targeted exercise in many clinical and non-clinical populations (i.e., Parkinson’s disease, Scoliosis, chronic low back pain). The AlignSmart™ exercise system is broadly effective in reducing the severity of postural abnormalities and maintaining improvements in posture over time.”
