Varieties of Posture
Upgrade the blue Soft Power Cushion with extra neck support while adding strength to the body.
People often forget about the importance of neck health, causing constant abuse to the neck without realizing it. Leaning forward and looking down day all long can wreck havoc and result in a lot of damage. It is important to reverse the effects of these harmful and repetitive motions. In doing so, we can help give our necks and backs the ideal shape and posture.
This neck support attachment improves and upgrades the Power Cushion. You can also buy the equipment together in a bundle and save money.
A spinal disc is passive, like a ligament. It does not stretch much and has a passive stabilization, which means it is not strong. The only way to effectively protect the neck is to get the correct shape and posture by exercising and strengthening the muscles. If you don't have the proper spinal curve, the shear reverses and cause the disc to herniate.
The Neck Shaper helps support the neck in the way that Dr. Scherger talked about positioning the spine as if it has good posture. The same can be done with the neck. This attachment positions the neck, with support, as if it already has good posture. It will help to orthopedically adjust to put the vertebrae back where they belong.
We encourage you to also check out our Neck Strengthening Exercises PDF Guide: Neck Flexion to learn how to do the Neck Flexion. This exercise helps support movement through a range of motion while in an upright position with the goal of developing resistance from horizontal forces against the neck muscles. Dr. Scherger used to have professional football players roll up towels and use them over the top of the power cushion to do the Neck Flexion. Your lower back will develop a curve if you perform this exercise correctly. The exercise can be done with your bare hands or the Neck Shaper (recommended). You can grip the Neck Shaper with the bar attachment to maintain ideal body symmetry and prevent any uneven application resistance.

This neck support attaches to the Power Cushion to keep the cervical curve supported while the anterior core works — the head held in its proper relationship to the spine instead of hanging unsupported through every repetition. This one is the Soft density, and its color is blue. Across the line the color names the density, so you can pick at a glance: blue is soft, orange is medium. It pairs with the blue Soft Power Cushion.
Soft is the gentler fulcrum and the tier to begin with: start with the softer option for stiff, painful, injured, or highly guarded spines, and when in doubt start softer and earn the progression. The Power Cushion neck support comes in two densities, this blue Soft and the orange Medium. The Medium is the firmer of the two and the step up from this one — a firmer fulcrum creates greater curvature demand and therefore greater intensity at the same body weight, which is how intensity moves without adding repetitions.
Supporting the neck during core work is not a luxury — an unsupported cervical curve under load is how good exercises acquire bad reputations. I match the support’s density to the user the same way I match their lying rolls: comfort first, firmness as the practice matures.
There are two: this blue Soft and the orange Medium. Match your Neck Shaper roll density as a starting rule — the neck that likes Soft lying usually likes Soft support under load.
The neck support attaches to any Power Cushion, whichever density you own. Its own density is a separate choice from the cushion’s.
