A self-operated massage tool for relief from back pain.
Reliefboard
Relieve tension in your back independently, without strain.
Just lean into it
The Reliefboard is a back massager that relieves pain and tension in your back without assistance from another person.
The innovative design is easy to use. As you lean back the board harnesses your body weight and applies pressure to the point in your back needing relief.
Instructions
Assembly
1.
Twist both handles into place at the bottom two points on the Reliefboard. Although there are two peg attachment points, we recommend using one peg in one attachment point at a time.
2.
Screw your chosen peg into the top attachment point to target your upper back, or the bottom attachment point to target your lower back. DO NOT fit two pegs on the board at the same time as this will hinder your ability to relax into the board.
1.
How to use
Stand with your back close to a wall, holding the Reliefboard behind you with the handles and peg facing you and the flat side of the Reliefboard against the wall.
2.
Using the handles either side of your waist, position the board so your chosen peg is against the pain or trigger point. Ensure you are targeting the muscles in your back. The Reliefboard should not be used directly against the spine or any other bone.
3.
Lean back into the board for 30-60 seconds, breathing slowly through the pain as this will increase as pressure is applied. The more you lean into the Reliefboard peg the more pressure you will apply to the desired muscle.
The Pegs
1.
The Round One: Emulates the feeling of a thumb being pressed into your back.
2.
The Rollerball One: Allows you to incorporate motion to ease tension.
3.
The Pointy One: For pinpoint accuracy and intense relief.
4.
The Mini One: A smaller surface area enabling a more targeted and higher pressure.
The Materials
The Reliefboard is made out of Trifilon Revo - a sustainable form of plastic.
We wanted to create the best back massage tool out there, but we didn't want to add to the world's plastic waste. Sadly, there is already loads of plastic sitting in landfill leaking into our oceans. Using Trifilon has meant we can reuse this old plastic and dramatically reduce our carbon footprint, all without compromising on the performance of the Reliefboard.
If you would like to know more about Trifilon Revo you can read about it here.
About the Reliefboard
Sometimes you just want someone to push into your back. Right at the point where it hurts. To push really, really hard. Ooof the relief. But unless you have The Hulk on standby as your personal back massager, then you probably find yourself attempting to resolve the issue yourself.
You may have tried other products, pushing and pulling various tools into your back - striving and straining, twisting and bending to reach that one spot.
While other massage tools require you to use your own strength, the Reliefboard harnesses your own body weight to apply pressure to a pain or tension point on your back. You are in full control of how much pressure is applied and you can apply high levels of pressure without stress or strain: just lean into it.
