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.

Pilot Study Results (N=16)
In our 2025 pilot study, we tested the hypothesis that releasing Axial Rigidity (the 'Concrete Body') directly improves systemic mobility. The results were consistent and compelling.
MOBILITY
25%
Improvement in Gait Speed
Participants moved faster and with greater fluidity.
STRENGTH
50%
Improvement in Sit-to-Stand
Functional leg power increased significantly.
PAIN
65%
Reduction in Chronic Pain
Severe back pain scores dropped to near-zero.
