New research presented by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons has tallied the total number of high school athlete injuries across a four-year period at more than 5.2 million, much of which can be attributed to what Dr. Staten Medsker, Jr., aka “RocknDoc,” dubs “the three biggest postural pandemics of our society:” computer/tech neck, flat butt and short leg syndromes.
“Sixty-seven percent of Americans are diagnosed with computer neck from slouching over electronics; 74% have flat butt from sitting for 12plus years in school then get desk jobs that shrink both hamstrings on the back of the legs causing tension that pulls the pelvis down; 97% have a short leg from 3,000 untreated falls for the average teenager,” Dr. Medsker said, “High school sports programs oftentimes hammer the bent nail, making these postural imbalances even more susceptible to strain and injury.”
His new book, Posture ReS.E.T. Program, addresses these three specific issues in a way that is simple, personalized to an individual’s specific imbalances, and effective at reducing back and neck pain. And it takes just 5 minutes a day.
“This isn’t just another exercise program. This is a new exercise philosophy,” Dr. Medsker said.
He adds that his program is different because it takes into account the following considerations: 1) Because muscles, arms and legs are round, all stretches and exercises are done in a circular fashion. (“Linear programs are now obsolete!”) 2) Because “everybody is out of balance,” this program uses a unilateral (one-sided) system to restore equilibrium.
3) Using stretching, exercises and traction in the SAME DIRECTION, it creates a “braces on teeth” effect, correcting imbalances at 5 mm a month guaranteed; therefore, users do the program only for a short time (30-90 days for the average person).

In addition to the Posture ReS.E.T. Program book, Dr. Medsker is releasing a new product to support the program, the “ROCKnBOX.” (Found at www.rocknbox.net) “This program isn’t for aches and pains and toothaches,” Dr. Medsker said, “It’s structural correction like braces on teeth, to do at home so you can avoid spending $800 a month at the DC, PT or MD office.”
“The creation of the Posture ReS.E.T. Program is the equivalent of finding the cure for the common cold or cancer,” Dr. Medsker added, “It’s going to change the world and the way we think about exercise.”
