    The Science Is Clear:

    Stiff Joints In Your Back

    Are Causing Your Back Pain

    …and Much More

    The pain you feel throughout your body, from back pain to headaches to tennis elbow and even to Achilles tendonitis, is caused by pressure on the nerves that originate in your back.

    Pressure on your nerves is caused by stiff joints resulting from daily wear and tear: Poor posture, heavy lifting, and prolonged sitting are the main culprits. The resulting pain then spreads through the nervous system to other parts of your body.

    So, to relieve pressure on your nerves, you need to treat the stiff joints in your back

    "After six weeks, I complete a follow-up consultation and realise that the headaches and pins and needles in my fingers that I reported at the start of the trial have largely disappeared. The tightness between my shoulders also feels less severe."

    "Anyone who’s used a massage chair will be familiar with this idea, but this is more intense, more targeted and more personalised, with the unit learning about the progress of your condition over time."

    "I felt better on the first day..."

    From 0 to 10, the pain level is now around 2 or 3, but before that, when I didn’t use the BackHug, the pain level is around 8 and 9. I can move around because the pain it’s just only moderate now compared before.

    I’ve noticed a real big difference since I’ve been able to do it every day, or every other day, as opposed to every week or every other week. I feel that my sleeping is better, my strength, my energy is better.

    The first time you use it, it’s great. The second time you use it, it’s great, and then you start to notice the benefits. It’s the funny things, after 10 days you, think…Oh, I'm putting on my shoes a bit easier, or I'm bending to pick things up a bit easier.

    I thought “I’m just going to relax on BackHug” and I actually fell asleep on it. I was there and I fell asleep, for 3 hours, and I think that was my body saying “you need to relax” and obviously I was completely relaxed
