Backtivator

Backtivator invigorates and rejuvenates the spine and lower back by creating continuous movement while you sit. Physicians and health care professionals agree that when it comes to joints and cartilage, rest or immobilization can be destructive. Because your spine and back is actually one big joint, it requires a gentle continual motion to stay in shape. Movement is fundamental; when you move a joint, blood and fluid rush to the area. This provides your back with the nourishment it needs to keep your vertebrae healthy. A back in motion is a healthy back.

The instability of the Backtivator requires small postural corrections while sitting. This is done on a subconscious level and, for many people, these small corrections help to reduce low back pain and stiffness. Many people are reluctant to move their back when in pain and the activator encourages motion in a gentle and controlled manner.

The slight instability stimulates sensory reflexes, tightens abdominal muscles and activates the extensor muscles of the lower back allowing easier maintenance of correct posture. The muscles are constantly activated and relaxed to compensate for the small movements keeping the back in a more balanced position, promoting internal stabilization to enhance pain relief.
