Chronic pain and soreness in your back?
Back pain is often cause by poor posture. Hunching forward to perform everyday tasks forces the spine into an abnormal position. Over time, the muscles that support the spine will wear and tear, leaving a stiff and aching spine.
Stretching in the best solution to backache.
Stretching removes pain and restores function, removing the stiffness which led to the discomfort. Stretching also corrects posture, ensuring that all other joints are in their optimum working positions. The Stretch Mate is ergonomically designed to assist you in stretching your back. Just lie down and relax, and let the Stretch Mate help maintain a healthy back.
