FOR  IMMEDIATE  RELEASE    

Percko  Has  Your  Back  and  Will  Fix  Your  Posture  Too

The  Percko  is  an  undershirt  that  helps  correct  users’  posture  in  seconds.  No  brace  and  no  pain.  See  it  now  on  Kickstarter.

  San  Francisco,CA  -­‐  Whether  it's  a  parent  or  teacher,  people  always  have  someone  telling  them  not  to  slouch.  Yet,  in  today’s  plugged-­‐in  culture  where  people  sit  for  9.5  hours  a  day  at  home  and  work,  it’s  very  easy  to  develop  poor  posture.  In  fact,  33%  of  reported  worker  injuries  result  from  neck  and  back  problems.  In  the  past  consumers  have  been  offered  uncomfortable  or  ineffective  options.    Thanks  to  The  Percko,  slouchers  finally  have  an  easy  solution  to  fix  their  posture  and  achieve  ultimate  back  comfort.     The  Percko,  a  second  skin  if  you  will,  teaches  users  to  intuitively  form  good  posture.  The  only  undershirt  that  stimulates  wearers’  backs  to  provide  proper  posture  all  day  long.  Unlike  other  lumbar  support  devices  that  take  on  the  work  for  back  muscles,  The  Percko  activates  the  whole  spine  from  pelvis  to  neck  so  wearers  actively  learn  how  to  fix  their  own  posture.  In  a  clinical  study,  The  Percko  showed  100%  postural  improvement  in  users  by  affecting  multiple  areas  of  the  body;  the  Thorax,  Pelvis,  Lumbar  and  Vertebral  column.   Made  from  high  quality  breathable  and  thin  fabric,  The  Perko  truly  fits  the  wearer  –  it’s  comfortable  yet  supportive.  Easily  taken  on  and  off  like  any  other  shirt,  it  won’t  compress  the  body  and  can  be  washed  like  regular  clothing.  With  the  corrective  benefits  of  The  Perko,  users  can  work  more  productively  and  sleep  easier  –  stress  and  pain-­‐free.

  Using  an  advanced  set  of  patented  tensors,  The  Perko  brings  technology  and  expert  experience  for  posture  alignment.  The  tensors  react  in  case  of  bad  posture  by  exerting  a  painless  pressure  on  the  wearer’s  back  to  straighten  their  posture.

Between  Alexis’  father  and  Quentin’s  martial  experience  as  a  Black  Belt  in  Judo,  both  found  that  all  anyone  has  to  do  in  order  to  solve  80%  of  their  back  problems  was  to  adopt  proper  posture  and  that’s  when  the  light  bulb  went  off. “I  watched  my  father  suffer  from  back  pain,  so  I  understand  first-­‐hand  the  need  for  an  easy-­‐to-­‐use  and  effective  solution,”  says  Alexis  Ucko,  one  of  Perko's  co-­‐founders.  “We  really  wanted  to  bring  simplicity  and  accessibility  to  such  a  widespread  problem.  Anyone  from  athletes  to  professionals  can  feel  relief  without  any  additional  effort  on  their  part.”   Having  spent  years  researching  and  designing  a  prototype  with  partner  companies,  TopTex3    and  Cogitobio  as  well  as  François  Stevignon,  Physiotherapist  and  osteopath,  Percko  is  now  ready  to  take  the  next  step  and  make  their  dreams  of  entrepreneurship  into  reality.   The  Kickstarter  Campaign  will  launch  on  September  29  at  9  a.m.  EST  and  will  last  35  days  with  a  goal  of  €30,000.  The  Percko  team  will  use  backer’s  funds  for  product  development  and  quality  assurance  to  bring  back  relief  to  the  masses.   About  Percko: Founded  in  2014  and  based  in  France,  Percko  is  a  start-­‐up  created  by  friends  and  collaborators  Alexis  Ucko  and  Quentin  Perraudeau.  Sharing  a  wealth  of  diverse  engineering  and  clinical  research  experiences,  Percko’s  business  partners  are  innovators  who  have  teamed  up  to  bring  comfort  and  relief  to  consumers.
