Backpod for chronic asthma, bronchitis and some other respiratory conditions
Introduction
Introduction
The Backpod is designed to stretch out a bentforward 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 cant free them up using
your own muscles or body movements. Its no
longer enough to just sit up straight you havent
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.
Treatment soreness.
Any effective stretch of tight muscles, tendons or
ligaments may produce some discomfort, even mild
soreness just like any warm-up muscle stretch.
This doesnt do any harm. Patients commonly
describe a good pain, which is doing the right
thing. Use of the Backpod should be graded
with pillows and even layers of fluffy towel over the
Backpod itself so its not too uncomfortable on
any one stretch. Stretching only every second day
is recommended if the spine is too tender. If pain is
clearly extreme, or persists for more than a day or
two, see your doctor or other health professional.
Dont use the Backpod if there is reason to
suspect a bony fracture, e.g., a heavy impact on the
spine or ribs.
Dont use the Backpod in the presence of recent
surgery, wounds, infections, inflammation, shingles
or other skin lesions in the area.
