Almost every adult in Germany knows them. They are unpleasant, annoying, restrict everyday life and represent an incredible burden for those affected. Back pain. They often subside within a few days. But more and more people are affected by any back pain in everyday life. Regardless of the extent to which one has had personal contact with this social issue, one thing must be stated: Back pain is present in our society.
Companies are regularly confronted with sick leaves, physiotherapists treat back patients on a daily basis. From close quarters, we hear more and more complaints about acute or even chronic back pain.A large proportion of gym-goers train for precisely this reason, while others seek redemption in wellness, relaxation and massage services.
Causes of back pain
The causes of back pain are manifold and the complaints mostly unspecific. For example, poor posture, sitting too long and too little exercise are the most common causes. Reactions of the body such as tension or headaches are the first warning signals, which can further develop into serious diseases such as herniated discs or deformities of the spine. The "stress" factor should also not be underestimated. Back pain can be triggered or intensified by stress .
But why is back pain often ignored at first?
On the one hand, it is the downplaying of the situation. "Oh, it'll go away." - we probably all know this thought. On the other hand, as is so often the case, it is the necessary time or motivation to address the problem. By the time you take this step, the pain often has to become severe and prolonged.
The path of a sufferer
If one decides nevertheless to undertake actively something the back pain, the first step leads usually to the physician. This prescribes medicines or prescribes treatments e.g. with a physiotherapist. The therapist first treats the pain to achieve a general relaxation to be able to treat more specifically. Muscle strengthening exercises follow. Unfortunately, due to lack of time, this often comes up short. Alternatively, some choose to enjoy massages and various heat treatments. Subsequently, the affected person receives a recommendation for further activities at home or in a gym. Unfortunately, the path usually stops here after a few weeks. The inner pig dog triumphs. Possible further treatments by appropriate specialists or the like are not considered in this assumption yet at all. How much expenditure and time this all together takes up and how much stress is connected with it, everyone can imagine itself. Nevertheless, heat, muscle training, pain therapy and massages have proven themselves in the treatment of back pain over many years.

The 4 most proven methods against back pain in one system
reLounge is the world's first back therapy couch that combines everything proven to help treat back pain.
The lying surface heats up to a pleasant 40°C. Even lying down gives an initial impression of well-being, the muscles relax and the metabolism is stimulated. The subsequent massage dissolves stress into a feeling of well-being and revitalizes with new energy. Based on electronic impulses, the entire back musculature is stimulated and kneaded right into the deepest areas. Low- and medium-frequency impulses are effective here, which have been proven to help with pain treatments and stimulate the muscles to strengthen and build up. Many know any pain treatments from their physical therapist as spot TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) applications.
The light electrical nerve stimulation provides immediate relief from nerve, muscle or joint pain. In addition, the so-called Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) works to strengthen the muscles and work on the cause in the core. In summary, you experience a multidimensional, dynamic deep therapy.
So while you lie comfortably on your back and relax, reLounge incorporates four therapy approaches in parallel in just 20 minutes. All based on a soothing massage that will unwind your soul, relieve all your stress and is often paraphrased as a 4-handed manual massage.
reLounge, the All-In System - can it be?
Various studies prove the effectiveness of Dynamic EMS Deep Wave Stimulation. In 2016, G.Oliveira and I.Nègre from the Pain Center of the Bicêtre Hospital (France) studied its use in patients with chronic pain. 73.6% reported an improvement in their state of health. Among them, improvements in pain, sleep, mobility, vitality, relaxation, flexibility and emotions. Overall, deep wave therapy was found to be promising in the treatment of patients with back pain.
A study conducted by the Center for Interdisciplinary Pain Management and Palliative Medicine (ZISOP) at Klinikum Klagenfurt am Wörthersee tested the effectiveness of multidimensional dynamic deep-wave therapy in patients with chronic nonspecific back pain in 100 patients from 2015 to 2017. The study confirmed the effectiveness of Dynamic Deep Wave Stimulation technology in significantly reducing patient back pain and describes Deep Wave Therapy as a very convincing and safe method for treating chronic back pain. The electrical muscle stimulation in combination with heat was able to contribute for a considerable pain relief and improvement of subjective and objective data compared to standard treatment without electrotherapy.
To ensure the greatest possible success, it is especially important to remember that all people are different. reLounge covers exactly that. Prior to a treatment cycle, all 24 electrodes are individually adjusted to the user's body. In addition, this results in an analysis that visualizes muscular imbalances. In this way, a targeted treatment can be carried out that is individually adapted to the user.
As you should probably have noticed by now, reLounge is an absolute all-rounder. But not only on the treatment level.
