Bodystance Backpod - Instructions: How to use the Backpod

Instructions: How to use the Backpod
®
The Backpod
®
is designed to stretch out a bent-
forward 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.
You can do it with the help of the Backpod
®
though.
Your own body weight provides the force, and the
shape of the Backpod
®
localises it to the particular
areas that need to free up.
The stretch provided by the Backpod
®
can be
strong, so the first time you use it, start off with
three pillows under your head, and if necessary
layers of fluffy towel over the Backpod
®
itself. This
will make the stretch more comfortable. It should
definitely not be actually painful.
However, the Backpod
®
is a real treatment device,
not a gimmick, and you could feel some slight
discomfort to start off with. It’s like stretching a
muscle – if you couldn’t feel anything, then you
wouldn’t be doing anything useful.
