Sit back and imagine you are watching Jimmy Hendrix, Eric
Clapton, or Kurt Cobain strum out one of their famous guitar solos. As a
chiropractor did their ergonomics ever horrify you? Were you just dying to
straighten them out?
If your practice is on Beale Street this might be bad for
business, but help has arrived for every guitar and base players plagued by the
results for years of poor posture. Gruv Grear has just released the DuoStrap
Signature, a double strap for a guitar or bass player to improve help their ergonomics,
posture and comfort.
They even have the endorsement of Chiropractor Dr. Randall
Kertz. Besides his bass playing, Dr. Kertz is known for his work with musicians
and his book The Bassist's Guide to Injury Management, Prevention and Better
Health.
Dr. Kertz states,
"As a player and practitioner, when a product comes out that is geared
towards helping musicians to stay healthy and avoid injuries, I like to take
notice of it. So I am particularly pleased to talk about the DuoStrap as it
fulfills all of these requirements."
The innovative double
strap provides thoracic and cervical support as well as distribution the weight
of the instrument evenly. Dr. Kertz believes
it will reduce injuries bassists and guitarists sustained while performing or
practicing for extended durations. The manufactures of DuoStrap believe it
provides a more optimal playing position than other double straps while
improving posture and reducing a player’s fatigue.
