| The roller technology of this beautifully finished wood product allows the user to move and stretch different parts of the spine by moving up and down the frame. It provides back sufferers the opportunity to complement their therapeutic treatment with a device, which is portable, good value and simple to use. |
The rollers also provide pressure (acupressure) on the back muscles where dysfunctional trigger points (knots) often occur. This pressure provides relief to the pain they can cause. | | Computer and other deskwork, and a more sedentary lifestyle promote a more flexed (forward bend) spine. This creates pain as ligaments, spinal joints, discs, nerves and muscles are stretched and compressed in a way they were not designed for. The Backstretcher can help counteract the excess flexion giving relief to the many structures affected. | Sports men and women involved in rowing, cycling, golf (bag carrying) also tend to adopt a more flexed posture during their sport. | | The Backstretcher can provide relief for problem discs by promoting a better posture.In a forward bend posture the pressure within the discs is displaced backward towards the sensitive spinal cord and nerves. Consequently sciatica, pins and needles, numbness, muscle weakness, abnormal sensation, reduced or absent reflexes and searing pain can result. An exacerbation or reoccurrence of disc pain is reduced by using the Backstretcher. | Size 58 x 25.5 x 11cm |
