A New Approach
to Managing
Parkinson's Rigidity

Parkinson's isn't just tremors. The most debilitating symptom is often 'Axial Rigidity'—the deep stiffness that restricts your walking, causes severe back pain, and ruins your sleep.

Using 26 robotic fingers, BackHug is the only device that can deliver clinical-grade spine mobilization techniques consistently, without getting tired.

Non-invasive

Zero additional medications
