    What Is BackHug?

    BackHug is an innovative device that delivers professional-level back therapy to people in the comfort of their own homes or place of work. It delivers amazing reductions in back aches with 26 robotic human-sized fingers that adapt to your unique back curvature.

    People suffering from back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, or sciatica can significantly reduce their pain by addressing the root of their problem: stiff joints in the back.

    By simply answering a series of questions on our app, the BackHug device can create a personalised program that will target and treat the tension held in your back.

    Address The Root Of Your Pain

    Common treatments for pain, such as massage chairs, massage guns, and manual therapy, aren't designed to fix your pain: they only treat superficial symptoms. Because the treatments don't address the root of the problem,  many people continue to suffer and don't get better.

    BackHug addresses the root cause of your pain.

    Work the deep tissue in your back and hit the key pressure points that are the cause of your pain.

    Gives personalized treatment according to your own spinal curvature

    and operated with a carefully designed App, where you can change all settings in real time

    “BackHug Is So Effective, Even On The First Time, You Can Feel The Benefit”

    Jessica Colson

    Jessica BackHug User

    Why I Created BackHug

    As a physio, I often experienced conflict and struggle. The manual therapy I used worked and made a difference for many people. But, they needed the treatment at least three times a week to further improve. People had to travel a lot, struggled to book appointments, and spent a lot of money to get the treatment they needed. There had to be a better way. So, I used my engineering experience to brainstorm a way to use technology to give people consistent, convenient and cost-effective treatment, so BackHug was born.

    It's Not Muscles Causing Your Pain

    Most of the pain you experience, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, headache, sciatica, and so on, overwhelmingly involves stiff joints in your back. Joint stiffness in the back is the root cause of pain. Releasing the stiff joints in your back will bring surprisingly great results for your problems.

    BackHug fixes the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.

    What To Expect From BackHug

    BackHug is different from anything else, so it's good to know what to expect before you start. As with any new technology, it might take some time to get used to it, but you can feel the difference even after the first session.

    "BackHug is so effective that even on the first time, you can feel the benefit."
    - Jessica, BackHug User

    BackHug may feel unusual the first time you use it and maybe even painful (we recommend using the lowest settings, to begin with). Remember, the fingers are pushing to release stress from your back, and while that may feel a little strange at first, it is a by-product of the release of tension. As the session continues, you should feel yourself relaxing, making treatment more comfortable and enabling you to sustain a higher strength setting.

    "After ten days, you really start to feel the benefit."
    - Andrew, BackHug User

    You should be used to the BackHug treatment by now, and the unusual sensation should feel more relaxing and more beneficial - This is mainly because the tension in your back will be much lower (You can track your back pressure on the BackHug app)

    "I can move my neck; I've never been able to move it this much before."
    - Paul, BackHug User

    By now, you should notice more flexibility and an increased range of motion. Pain and tension should have dropped and ought to be a lot more manageable in your day-to-day life.

    Once you have reserved your BackHug, we will add you to our priority waiting list. 

    Once your device is ready, we will get in touch to arrange delivery and payment.

    No! Massage chairs treat muscle tightness. BackHug treats joint stiffness. Massage chairs use large balls and rollers that move up and down the neck and back but can't reach your joints. BackHug uses human-sized robotic fingers that go deep into the knots and stiffness in the joints of the back, neck and shoulder blades.

    You have two options at the end of your subscription period (12 and 24 months). If you want to keep using your BackHug and enjoy the health benefits, there is no need to do anything. Your contract will automatically continue on a monthly rolling basis. Suppose you want to return your BackHug for any reason. In that case, you can do so after your subscription period has ended free of charge at any time by giving us 30 days' notice. But remember - if you keep your BackHug subscription for five years in a row, you own the device.

    We recommend using BackHug 2 - 3 times weekly to achieve significant benefits. Some of our customers use it every day, whereas others use it when they need it, for example, when experiencing stress, muscle soreness or aches and pains.

    Yes! A BackHug device operates with the BackHug App, which you can download on your smartphone. Any Android 4.4 and iOS 10 phones will have no problems. We continuously update the App so you can experience an even more personalized and improved treatment experience.

    No! If you bruise easily, please do not use BackHug. You will find out if BackHug is for you or not during the first 30-day trial period. BackHug applies deep tissue pressure, which can result in temporary marks on your skin or bruising. If you are concerned, increase the gap between your sessions to allow your skin to recover. Alternatively, you can reduce the strength of the fingers or wear additional clothing to prevent bruising.

    You will always get a Brand New or Like New BackHug, for example, one that's had a 30-day trial. Every BackHug is thoroughly checked and cleaned before shipping, and all BackHug devices, therefore, fully function according to product specifications and are free of cosmetic defects. BackHug subscriptions include maintenance and software upgrades, so you can always be confident that your BackHug will work or that we'll take care of it.
