Abstract
A Seat Device to Correct the C-Curve Posture While Sitting which, when placed against the back of a seat, supports the gentle convex curve of the thoracic region of the spine. So that when seated this curve is maintained. This Device immediately allows the body to achieve the proper alignment. This flat pad fits within the thoracic region and does not involve the cervical or lumbar regions which would distort proper stacking of the cervical, thoracic, lumbar and sacral regions. This Device corrects the indentation found in cars seats, office chairs, airplane seats, or any seat with a back. This allows the body to self-correct. This works for everyone adult and child. This Device resolves a myriad of physical problems caused by sitting with the C-Curve Posture.

CONCLUSION, RAMIFICATIONS AND SCOPEFIGS. 5&6
[0149] Accordingly the reader will see that, according to the above embodiments of the invention, I have provided information to show the results of using the Seat Device for correcting the c-curve while sitting; note the anatomical changes below.
[0150] FIG. 5 illustrates (12) a person that is sitting in a typical C-Curve posture. The following are the components of the C-Curve posture, (12a) is the forward head posture, (12b) is the protracted shoulders, (12c) is the collapsed ribcage, (12d) is the shortened and protruding abdomen, (12e) is the flattened lumbar spine, (12f) is the protruding spinous processes, especially C7 and T12. This is the cause, or the aggravating factors, of the pain in your body from sitting.
[0151] FIG. 6 illustrates (16) a person sitting with corrected posture in neutral as a result from the Seat Device to Correct the C-Curve Posture While Sitting, placed at the lower two thirds of the thoracic region. (16a) is neutral head position, (16b) is the shoulders rotated back and down, the scapula retracted and lying flat on the back, (16c) is the ribcage lifted and at neutral, (16d) is the abdomen lengthened, (16e) is the corrected lumbar curve, (16f) is the spine stacked in the neutral S-curve that it, is meant to be in, which eliminates any protruding spinous processes.
