FIRSTLY...

What Is BackHug?

BackHug is a back therapy device with a difference. It uses 26 robotic fingers to target the key points in your back, neck and shoulder blades to get rid of your back pain fast and is the only device able to loosen stiff joints in your back, which are a key cause of most of the pain we feel in our bodies.

Other key features:

  • BackHug adapts to the unique shape of your back to give you totally personalised treatment
  • You operate BackHug with the BackHug App, which gives you total control over your treatment. Adjust the treatment strength in four different areas (neck, upper back, shoulder blades and lower back), speed, heat and other settings - all in real-time.
  • Use the in-App physiotherapy consultation to generate the treatment programme that’s right for you

“I was very impressed in the fist session…If you have a neck, upper and mid back problems, it can really get to it!”

"After six weeks, I complete a follow-up consultation and realise that the headaches and pins and needles in my fingers that I reported at the start of the trial have largely disappeared. The tightness between my shoulders also feels less severe."

Linda Geddes

"I could almost sleep through the whole night and, as a result, my mood improved. Even my landlord said there was a ‘glow’ about me."

HOW IT WORKS

Your First BackHug Session Will Go A Bit Like This:

Feel-Better-1

1

BEFORE YOUR SESSION

Personalise Your Treatment

We strongly recommend that you take our in-App back care consultation by answering a dozen back health-related questions to identify your specific areas of pain and stiffness. Based on the results, our system will design a personalised program that targets those areas and provide you with the most effective treatment plan.

GETTING READY

Relax and Decompress

As you relax on BackHug's ergonomic V-shaped upholstery and U-shaped headrest, our leg-rest feature will ease you into the perfect position for treatment. By raising your legs to 90°, BackHug decompresses your spine, helping you relax and prepare for effective joint de-stiffening.

YOUR SESSION RESULTS

Track Your Tension

During your BackHug session, our Back Tension Tracking (BTT) software will monitor the back tension changes and analyse the data. At the end of the session, you will find how the tension in each of the six zones in your back has changed.

AFTER YOUR SESSION

Feel The Difference

After your session you should feel more relaxed and flexible, with less aches and pains. Over time, regular sessions with BackHug will help you move more easily, bend better and lead to an improved quality of life.

FAQs

Absolutely. Our aim is to make better back care more accessible. Enjoy your session!

BackHug is easy to use. Once you've picked your duration and started your session:

(1) Lay down, and wait for the leg-rest to raise automatically. (2) the session will start on your personalised settings. (3) During your treatment you can adjust the strength, speed, heat, focus area and more in real-time, so you can endlessly adjust the settings until you hit the right spot. (4) We have an audio library filled with nature sounds, peaceful piano notes and a guided meditation. We recommend exploring this to help you fully relax. (5) Once your session is over, wait for the leg rest to go fully down and then use the handles on the side of the device to pull yourself up, have a good stretch and feel the difference!

Massage chairs treat muscle tightness; BackHug treats joint stiffness in the back, neck and shoulder blades. Massage chairs use balls and rollers that are too big and wide, can't reach the joints in the back, and can only treat muscles; BackHug's 26 human-sized robotic fingers go deep and release stiff joints in the back, which is the root cause of most pain people experience.

BackHug is covered in two main materials: easy-clean upholstery and easy-clean neoprene. These materials will ensure the BackHug stays hygienic and clean after repeated use.

In shared spaces, we recommend the host keep anti-bacterial wipes beside the device so users can wipe the BackHug down should they prefer.

We recommend not using BackHug if you are pregnant.
