Living with back pain is often a vicious circle.  

When we are in pain we automatically tense our
muscles. This reinforces bad posture and muscles
spasms, causing us more pain. Backstretchers use
two proven methods of relieving backpain:


1. Massage - The rollers are positioned to give you the
equivalent of a deep SHIATSU massage.

2. Stretching - Backstretchers are shaped so that lying across
it allows the spine to ope out gradually, freeing
the discs that have probably beens compressed
against each other all day. The result is instant
relief.

BACKSTRETCHER

"The Ultimate Backstretcher is a simple but effective device invaluable in the
prevention and relief of back pain."

Designed by an exercise physiologist, the Backstretcher is a gently curved
solid piece of beechwood with revolving padded thumb-like nodules which make contact
with the muscles either side of the spine. The muscles of the spine are stretched
by the passive gravity action of the users own body weight. This simple thoracic
extension has the effect of empowering a fatigued back.

The Backstretcher provides an excellent thoracic extension stretch.

A few minutes a day spent lying on the Backstretcher gives benefits such
as reducing muscular tension by gently stretching the soft tissues, maintaining
and improving posture and reducing the load on the spine. hier uw tekst
