THE SIREN OF THE FRENCH BROAD The French Broad River runs near the city of Asheville, and it’s a popular spot for hikers who want to avoid the bustle of the Appalachian Trail. Unfortunately, this path is home to a dangerous creature. Hikers who camp near the river are plagued by strange and alluring
Back in the 1980s, it was rare for kids, teens, or 20-somethings to experience neck and back pain. Spinal degeneration was a retiree’s problem. But that all changed when smartphones came on the scene. Today, nearly half of American adults spend 5–6 hours hunched over their phones daily — and this is wreaking havoc on our spines. “Tech neck” (characterized by cervical and shoulder pain, headaches, and thoracic hyperkyphosis) is epidemic even in kids. Fortunately, there’s a solution to this modern problem: the Posture Pump! The Posture Pump is a game-changing device that fits under a patient’s neck, then inflates to gently correct their cervical curve. This reshaping process compliments a manual adjustment. It relieves pain, stiffness, headaches, and fatigue by decompressing and hydrating compressed discs; decreasing disc bulging; and reducing forward head posture. It’s the perfect solution for pain caused by poor posture.
dreams about a beautiful woman with pale skin, dark hair, and dark eyes.
Each night she comes closer, and they wake to the sound of a beautiful voice singing in the distance. This continues until one night, the voice draws them to the river at twilight. There, they find the siren from their dreams rising from the water. She’s impossibly beautiful, but her presence is a trap: Touch her, and she’ll suck you into the river, never to return from your hike!

Posture Pump’s radial traction models set it apart from the linear traction devices on the market.
“Linear traction devices are placed at the base of the skull and they achieve anterior and posterior opening by pulling,” explains Posture Pro Senior Sales Officer Patti Clark. “With our radial traction model, we achieve that anterior and posterior opening by lifting and separating within the lordotic concavity.” Chiropractor Dr. Richard Graham first designed the Posture Pump in 1985 for his elderly patients. X-rays revealed remarkable changes in the curvature and alignment of their spines, so in 1994, he founded Posture Pro! Today the company sells a range of single and double air cell units that bring relief to patients of all ages — at home and in the clinic. “Posture pumps are one size fits all, so patients don’t need different units — the whole family can share one!” Patti says. “We’ve also installed automatic cutoff valves so there’s no need to worry about someone overinflating the pump.” Even Patti’s son,
who is just 5 years old, has mastered the Posture Pump to get neck pain relief after hours of looking at his tablet.
