Good Health Starts From The Centre Of The Back

Why is the centre of the back so important for health?
Chongsu shows us how the centre of the back is a ‘passageway' between the brain and the rest of the body.

What Is Deep Tissue Pressure (DTP)?

Applying pressure to key points in the back helps lubricate stiff joints and break down muscle tightness (read: knots) that, when left untreated, limit blood circulation and nerve transmission, causing the development of aches and pain.

Stiff joints are like a rusty bicycle chain. There are more than 300 joints in your back, and stiffness in those joints can cause problems throughout your whole body (just as a rusty chain will make your bicycle harder to ride). BackHug is carefully designed to target pressure points in your back, neck and shoulder blades to release stiffness and get the rust out of your joints.

Firm pressure is required to release tightness and stiffness in the back muscles and joints, especially if they’ve been building up over time. BackHug applies that firm pressure to key therapeutic points in your neck, back and shoulder blades. With the BackHug App you can adjust the pressure anytime during your session, to make sure it’s just right – strong enough to release your aches and pains while remaining comfortable.

Stretching your muscles and joints induces relaxation, increases blood circulation and oxygen supply and facilitates the removal of waste from your body. You can choose how long the stretch is by selecting the Fast, Moderate, or Slow option on the BackHug App.
