Do you suffer from lower back pain?

If you do, you are not alone.

Four out of every five people will experience back pain at some point in their lives and one in three people over 30 suffer from chronic back pain. If you go to a chiropractor, osteopath or physiotherapist they will often start by using a technique called CPM (more about this later) to "trick" the muscles around your vertebrae into relaxing and to gently work on the lower spine.

BackLife is the only back care CPM machine in the World. By using it for two 12 minute sessions each day you can significantly reduce your back pain. Its effectiveness has been verified in clinical trials and it is endorsed by many leading back care medical experts and users have found it to be extremely effective. We believe it is the most effective home- based lower back pain remedyavailable.

What is CPM?


If you have ever been to any kind of back pain therapist you will
almost certainly have already had CPM. Continuous Passive
Movement ( CPM) for your back is when your physiotherapist gently
rotates your pelvis by putting their arm under your knees while you lie
on your back. This gentle rotation has a number of benefits.

1. CPM gently contracts and extends the     spine which helps relieve pressure on the     vertebrae and discs.
2. Often back pain is made worse by your     back muscles tensing up around a     damaged area. CPM relaxes the muscles     that attach to your spine .
3. CPM encourages bloodflow and lymph     drainage to your lower back. Increased     bloodflow means faster repair and     increased lymph drainage means toxins     are drained faster .

BackLife uses CPM to gently work on the muscles and vertebrae of the lower back.

Using it for two 12 minute sessions each day relieves back pain.

So CPM not only relaxes your back and relieves back pain but also promotes a faster repair of affected areas. BackLife is a CPM machine for your back you can use in your own home. And it is the only one available in the World.

 
"Spine tingling" technology offers rider a cure for his chronic back pain


Intenational dressage rider David Pincus has been riding since childhood and has had a career in show jumping, eventing and dressage competitions. However, after years of living a rigorous lifestyle he found himself handicapped by lower back pain. He says, "The pain was so bad when walking and my back was so stiff I could hardly get out of bed in the morning". Riding became more difficult and long journeys in the car became unbearable. For years he survived on traditional therapies to help him, including massage, heat, vibrators and most had limited effect.

In 2003 he discovered that scientists in Israel had invented a machine that can treat chronic back pain in just 12 minute daily treatment, and, by amazing coincidence, the manufacturers were based in a village where be grew up.

After using the 'Backlife' 3 to 4 times daily for two weeks he found that his back pain had disappeared and that his back regained more suppleness. David Pincus is now a UK supplier of this new back pain control device.

The 'Backlife' machine is an electrical machine that gives a gentle and repeated circular movement of the pelvis; this technique (used by physiotherapists) is called Continual Passive Movement (CPM). The 'BackLife' CPM machine helps to increase the distance between the vertebrae and discs, thereby reducing pressure on nerve endings that cause lower back pain. 'BackLife' also stimulates movement of the facet joints of the spine which increase mobility, relaxes muscles and improves circulation.

'BackLife Is clinically tested and endorsed by back surgeons and is being used in NHS pain clinics. The machine requires no medical supervision and can be used at home, in the office or workplace.

'BackLife' is available by direct order. To order or for more information please contact:
