Product Description
TREATMENT IN YOUR HOME, AT YOUR PACE
The Backpod is an amazingly effective, super strong and ultra conveniently sized wellness innovation for everyday use anywhere you are.
The Backpod is a real treatment tool to free up a tight upper back and rib cage. The Backpod is designed to stretch out a bent and stiffened upper and middle back. When the joints in the spine have jammed up enough, and the very tough tissue surrounding them has tightened, you can’t free them up using your own muscles or body movements. It’s no longer enough to just “sit up straight” – you haven’t got the leverage to unlock a specific joint or stretch out the stiffened ligaments around it on your own.
COSTOCHONDRITIS
Costochondritis is a scary and confusing (but not life-threatening) condition with pain where your ribs join onto your breastbone. Think of your ribs like bucket handles, hinged at the front (onto the breastbone) and at the back (onto your backbone). The ribs lift up and down as you breathe, and also move as you twist and move around. Now, if the posterior rib joints (where the ribs hinge onto your spine) are frozen solid and not moving, then the more delicate joints where the ribs hinge onto your breastbone have to work excessively, just to let you breathe.
iHUNCH
Hunching, slouching and overused neck and back muscles from smartphones, computers or specific job requirements (dentists, jewelers, etc.), it’s a global problem! On average, people check their smartphones every 12 minutes. Bending forward requires the muscles down the back of the neck (especially the upper trapezius) to work several times harder than when the head is upright. The Backpod uses the specifc, at home programme of stretching, strengthening, massage and posture to directly target and aleiviate pain and strain.
RECOVER FLEXIBILITY
Recovering flexibility post-injury, surgery or simply age can be difficult. The Backpod can help you with gradually freeing up the tight, extremely stiff and strong structure of the back, ribs, and spine. It can be especially effective in aiding recovery post laminectomy, foraminotomy, and thoracotomy operations.
RIB PAIN IN PREGNANCY
This is quite common partway through, as the baby bulge gets bigger. The rib cage needs to expand to accommodate baby, and if the rib joints around the back are too tight then it can’t. The pain can be felt at the rib joints on the backbone or on the breastbone.
Lying back on the Backpod is a gentle way of stretching the tight rib hinges free.

HOW TO USE BACKPOD
Start slowly…
1. To start off with, we recommend placing three pillows on a floor. This is because your spine can be really tight, and too painful to put much leverage on to start off with. You can gradually reduce the pillows to allow for a stronger stretch (it can take up to two or three weeks to get to no pillows).
Ease into it…
2. Lie back with the Backpod roughly between the shoulder blades.
3. Bring your hands up above your head, chin tucked in and knees up.
4. Your upper body will now be lying on the Backpod, stretching out the spine in the opposite direction to all the forward bending that happens during a normal day.
Take your time…
5. Hold the position for roughly 30 seconds then slightly re-adjust, so you begin to work the Backpod to the top of the back, up to shoulder level and out to the sides to stretch the rib hinges. Remember to keep your chin in and your shoulders relaxed, so that it stretches the pectoral muscles and you’re getting a complete stretch.
We recommend doing this for several minutes every evening. It may take a few weeks for things to loosen enough for you to not feel soreness.
