If your back hurts when you sit too long...the BackCycler® was made for you.

Research has demonstrated that the BackCycler® can reduce low back discomfort, help heal spinal disks and alleviate stiffness and fatigue while driving or sitting. The system works by cyclically moving the lumbar spine into a position of increased curvature and back to a position of lesser curvature. This repetitive, gentle pumping motion is unobtrusive (barely noticeable) to the user.

RESEARCHED and tested extensively, this AWARD-winning product was designed by an Orthopedic Doctor:

•Invented by an orthopedic medical doctor to relieve his own back pain while driving a car.
•Proven effective through ten years of university research supported by the National Institute for Disability and Rehabilitation Research.
•Extensive academic and commercial testing in the Unites States, Canada and Sweden with over 30 publications.
•First Prize winner: International Society for the Study of the Lumbar Spine (ISSLS)
•Top rated product for people with low back pain by the Good Housekeeping Institute with support from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.
•10,000 BackCyclers® flying in United Airlines First Class and Business seats with superior comfort ratings.

What IS a BackCycler®?

The BackCycler® is an air pillow placed between your lower back and any car, office, home or other seat that has a back rest. The pillow is slowly inflated and deflated by a pump and valve system in a small box. With the hand control, you simply set the amount of support and motion you need to keep your back comfortable for hours at a time (say, watching a movie, driving your car or working at your desk.) BackCycler can be used in the car by simply plugging it into the cigarette lighter outlet. Both car adapter and AC wall adapter are included.

How does the BackCycler® work?

Most people get back pain and stiffness from sitting because they stay in one position too long. Some seat designs may be better than others for a given person, but the key is to keep moving the lower part of the spine. Most people know this and try to get up and stretch their backs (usually by standing and bending backward a bit: just watch people getting out of their seat on a plane or getting out of their car.) The BackCycler® keeps you from back pain and stiffness in the first place by gently creating this support and motion while you are sitting. In orthopedics this is called continuous passive motion (CPM) and is often used to keep people from getting stiff and hurting after a joint operation.

What is different about the BackCycler®?

For many years people have tried to make seats and all sorts of pillows and supports to put you in a comfortable position… and keep you there. Some of these ideas and devices seem to help some people… for awhile. But for many of us, the longer we sit the more uncomfortable it becomes... until we get up or at least change position. That is what the BackCycler® does for you… the MOTION MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.

There are lots of “shake and poke” devices that vibrate or massage the soft tissues between your skin and your spine. These are meant to relieve pain and psychological stress and can help some people feel better… for awhile. They can only be tolerated for minutes at a time because they can become very uncomfortable. X-ray studies have shown that the BackCycler® actually moves your spine back and forth. Beyond the relatively superficial soft tissue effects of vibration and massage, to keep people comfortable…MOTION MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.

Therapeutic benefits derived by using the BackCycler are induced by continuous passive motion(CPM). In other words, motion makes the difference. Use of the Back Cycler helps lift pressure off sensitive nerve roots.
