Your back

Backache is a symptom affecting mainly the lumbar-sacral region, since it is this region which supports all the overloads. The intervertebral disc is a sort of ‘cushion’, lying between one vertebra and the next, which acts as a ‘shock absorber’. It is composed of an inner portion, called the nucleus pulposus, and an external ‘casing’ called the annulus fibrosus. The sponge/pump effect as the disc alternates between load and no-load states, is essential for nourishing these structures.

In people who practice sports, during training, and in everyone during everyday activities such as driving, sitting at a PC, etc., the discs are ‘loaded’ and compress the nucleus pulposus which releases toxins and decreases in thickness. In ‘no-load’ conditions (when we are sleeping), the discs absorb nutrients and oxygen and increase in thickness. Among the high-risk factors for backache are sports, due to the excessive loads such activities can generate and the forced movements they entail, as well as to the fact that between one training session or activity and the next the discs do not succeed in recovering their natural equilibrium, thickness, and correct state of hydration. Performing exercises in a ‘no-load’ position favours relaxation of the lumbar muscles, decompression and faster rehydration of the discs and activation of disc metabolism, resulting in an increase in the thickness of the ‘cushions’ they provide for the vertebrae.

Unlike gravity inversion devices, Myback® ensures that your back and head remain in a natural, non-traumatic supine position during exercise. The device can be used either independently in the equipment room or with the support of an operator in dedicated spaces.
