Back pain is now the number one widespread disease in Germany, with one in four people visiting a doctor once a year because of back problems. Back pain prevents an active lifestyle, reduces the quality of life and causes consequential damage.
Typical causes and clinical pictures
The causes are manifold and mostly unspecific:
- too weak musculature
- one-sided activities
- bad posture
- stress
On the other hand, there are the specific clinical pictures:
- Diseases/injuries to the intervertebral discs
- Injuries to the spinal column
- Injuries to the nerve tracts
What are the common solutions to the problem?
After an appropriate analysis by the treating physician, medication is often given, alternatively heat and massages are recommended, in the optimal case one is sent to fitness training to strengthen and build up muscles.
backup combines the 4 most important and proven therapy methods in one device:
Muscle therapy
EMS stimulates and strengthens the muscles, down to the deepest areas.
Pain therapy
TENS superimposes the pain in the nerve and provides an improvement of the pain
Heat therapy
The mat warms up to 40°C, the muscles relax, toxins are eliminated
Dynamic deep massage
Relaxation and stress reduction through a massage that is almost indistinguishable from a manual massage.
backup works with low as well as medium frequency impulses that are delivered to the back through a 12-channel stimulation mat (24 electrodes)
.The mat is ergonomically shaped. Depending on the focus of treatment, you can specifically treat the entire back or individual sub-areas such as the cervical spine, thoracic spine or lumbar spine. You also have the option of treating the back non-specifically or even selecting specific clinical pictures.
The dynamic deep waves are perceived by the user as a tapping, kneading or stroking massage - backup combined in this way is an intensive muscle stimulation in a pleasant massage.
Automatic mode for easier back treatment
In the "Automatic program selection according to indications" mode, the backup system selects a therapy program tailored to the user's complaints. All that is required is anamnesis data such as strength, area and form of pain. The condition of the musculature is analyzed and or desired therapy focus is set. The program of the current therapy is adjusted at each new session. In the "Manual program selection" mode, you can of course select specific programs for pain therapy, muscle stimulation or dynamic deep massage as before. It is also very easy to create your own programs - so-called user programs.
Optimal and individual adjustment
In order to guarantee a targeted application that is individually adapted to the user, backup has integrated further tools in:
With the help of calibration, the intensities of each electrode are adapted to the muscular situation of the user-
After calibration, the device automatically creates a small analysis. Muscular imbalances can be highlighted and based on this, an appropriate treatment plan can be provided to the user-
The mat size can be selected between three sizes. Thus, practically every person can enjoy an application
Full control
When performing therapy in the "Automatic program selection according to indications" mode, you can evaluate individual therapy cycles in detail. It is also possible to evaluate the complete database according to different filter criteria. This allows you to keep track of the course and efficiency of therapy for individual users or entire collectives.
Simple operation
Here backup has placed great emphasis on user-friendliness.
The system can be conveniently controlled via the integrated touch screen. Here you are easily guided through the individual functions. Incorrect use is impossible here! And if you are not quite sure which functions various programs have, help texts are available.
During the therapy session, the user, with the help of the supplied remote control, can control the intensities themselves.
backup is good - reLounge even better
For those who like it a little more stylish and attach great importance to appearance and comfort, reLounge is the right choice.

.The lounger is handcrafted from high-quality larch wood and has a swiveling equipment holder. The legs are already in stepped storage, so that a high-quality treatment can take place.
