Chongsu Providing Physio to Patient

You're in Good Hands

Invented by an Engineer-Turned-Physio

BackHug was founded by physiotherapist Chongsu Lee.

Lee was an industrial engineer in South Korea, inspired to retrain
after an illness dramatically affected his lifestyle.

He moved to Scotland and qualified in physiotherapy from Queen Margaret University of Edinburgh in 2010. Lee practised professionally for several years before becoming frustrated by the limited impact standard methods had on his patients, including the lack of consistency in delivering them.

He became determined to find the solution for convenient and consistent alleviation from aches and pains. That's when he came up with BackHug.

Scientifically Proven To Reduce Tension

The Myoton Pro is a scientifically approved hand held device that measures soft tissue stiffness which showed that BackHug reduced back muscle stiffness 3.7 times greater than the 'resting in bed' control group. Also, the study participants reported, on average, 44% improvements in their aches and pains over three sessions compared to before they participated in the study.
