The good news is that because it all happens in
a logical pattern, you can treat it logically and
effectively. But you have to treat all the pieces
causing the problem. Often health professionals
are so busy or specialised they treat only one or
two, so you tend to get only very temporary relief.
The Backpod
®
is a high-tech mobilising tool which
uses your own upper body weight to let you stretch
out the tightened hunched upper and middle back
which commonly underlies most neck problems.
This user guide also provides the basic stretching
and strengthening exercises, home massage and
postural techniques that you need to treat and care
for your own upper back and neck at home. These
aren’t time-consuming or complicated. They are
also available free as videos on our website
www.backpod.co.nz.
It’s fine if you’re already receiving help from a
doctor, physiotherapist, osteopath, chiropractor,
pharmacist or acupuncturist; doing Pilates or yoga;
working out at the gym; etc. The Backpod
®
and
its programme will generally help and enhance all
these other approaches. They provide stand-alone
treatment and maintenance for most middle back
and neck problems, but if your specific problem
needs extra help, your health practitioner is there to
provide it. We all want you, the patient, to get better,
and stay that way.
The second part of this user guide is for doctors,
physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors and
other health professionals. It contains more
detailed information on how the Backpod
®
will
help their particular treatment approach. The
Backpod
®
and its programme are highly effective
complements to each speciality.
