The Backpod made by Body Stance is a new physiotherapist invention to treat and prevent neck and upper back pain. It is especially effective for pain and headaches caused by a hunched upper back.

The Backpod kit includes guided massage, stretches, strengthening exercises, and posture short-cuts to look after your own spine. If you’re bending forward over the latest technology your back needs some cool technology too.

The Backpod was invented by Steve August, a Dunedin physiotherapist with 30 years’ experience in treating spines. It’s is manufactured in Christchurch and sold worldwide.

The Backpod’s small peaked shape will stretch tight rib joints, which limit the air you can get into your lungs. It can help with chronic Asthma, rib pain in Pregnancy, Costochondritis, and athletic performance.

The Backpod has won several New Zealand and international awards, including a prestigious invitation-only German Design Council award.
