How does the Backchamp® work?
Weak and out of balance core muscles around the base of the back is a major cause of lower back pain and can be triggered by many factors including bad posture, sports injuries, chronic joint stiffness, sedentary lifestyle and hormonal changes during pregnancy.

The Backchamp relieves pain by strengthening core muscles, counteracting muscle imbalance and correcting pelvic distortion. It gently targets the most important area at the foundation of your spine.

The Backchamp technique is an adaptation of a technique employed by many osteopaths, physiotherapists and chiropractors. Muscle Energy Technique is derived from Osteopathics (the study of the musculoskeletal system) by Dr. Fred Mitchell, Sr. and his son Dr. Fred Mitchell, Jr.

The theory behind MET suggests that if a joint is not used to its full range of motion, its function will lessen and it will be at risk of suffering strains and injuries. This form of muscular therapy makes use of a patient's own muscle energy (the force); while the therapist presents a stationary surface (or anti-force) the patient will contract their muscle against in order to stretch the muscle and joint to its full potential.

Muscle energy techniques can be applied safely to almost any joint in the body. Many athletes, for example, use MET as a preventative measure to guard against future muscle and joint injury. However, its mainly used by individuals who have a limited range of motion due to back, neck and shoulder pain, scoliosis, sciatica, unsymmetrical legs, hips or arms (for example when one is longer or higher then the other), or to treat chronic muscle pain, stiffness or injury.

Can I use the Backchamp® while having other treatments or therapies?
Yes. Aligning, strengthening and stabilizing your pelvis and lumbar spine will help you get maximum benefit from other treatments. Seeing a good back pain specialist is always highly recommended.

How long does a session take?
One session takes less than a minute to complete.

How heavy is it?
1.6Kg in its bag.  Backchamp® is light and portable, so you can use it anywhere.

Is there a minimum/maximum age limit?
Anyone at any age can benefit from Backchamp®. However, in some cases, young children or the very elderly may not be able to exert enough strength to gain maximum benefit from the technique.

How often should I use it?
Most people benefit from two sessions a day – once in the morning and once in the evening. However you can use the Backchamp® more or less often – whatever feels right for you.

For example some people use the Backchamp® to help themselves out of an episode of pain and then use it occasionally when they feel their back ‘going out’. Others, prefer to use the Backchamp® as part of a daily routine – as a preventative measure.

Can I use Backchamp® if I lie down on grass, lino, carpet, a bed?
You can use Backchamp® anywhere there is a reasonably firm surface that allows you to lie flat. You can also use Backchamp® while seated in a chair.

How long before I should feel the benefits?
This varies between individuals. Some people feel dramatic improvements after the first session, while others may take a little longer. Most people experience significant improvement within a week.

Does it hurt?
No. Some people occasionally report feeling a little achy after a session, but this is normal (like the healthy ache you can feel after exercise) and is different from pain.

Can you guarantee that the Backchamp® will cure my back problem?
Sadly no.  The individual nature of back problems means that no treatment – ours included – can guarantee you a successful outcome. But remember that many of Backchamp's greatest success stories involve people who have suffered chronic back pain for years and have tried everything. The principles that underpin the Backchamp® are simple, but the results often profound. So try it. If you are not delighted with the results, then under our risk free guarantee you’ve lost nothing!

I have a medical condition, is it safe to use it?
The Backchamp® technique is safe for most people because it is a natural movement that requires a moderate effort over a short time to perform. However, always consult your doctor first before starting any new treatment or exercise programme.

Can I harm myself using Backchamp?
The Backchamp technique is based upon a natural movement, so it is virtually impossible to harm yourself using the Backchamp correctly and sensibly. As with any exercise, however, you should always "listen" to your body. If you feel you may have overdone it, stop using Backchamp for two to three days before recommencing.

When should I not use Backchamp?
Always consult your doctor before considering any kind of new treatment or exercise regime.
If you suffer from any of the conditions below, it is especially important you seek expert medical advice without delay as they might indicate a medical problem that requires further investigation. (This is not an exhaustive list. It is intended only for your reference.)
