The Backbridge should become a part of your daily routine. Place the Backbridge on the floor or a bed. The highest point on the top of the Backbridge should between your shoulder blades. It should never hurt and feel like a solid, comfortable stretch. We recommend starting with level 1 and slowly working up to using all five levels. We recommend 2-4 weeks of regular use on each level group before progressing to the next level.

The Backbridge should become a part of your daily routine. Place the Backbridge on the floor or a bed. The highest point on the top of the Backbridge should between your shoulder blades. It should never hurt and feel like a solid, comfortable stretch. We recommend starting with level 1 and slowly working up to using all five levels. We recommend 2-4 weeks of regular use on each level group before progressing to the next level.

For maximum stretch, your arms should be placed on the floor straight above your head or you can cross your hands across your chest.

Use the Backbridge 2 minutes in the morning and 2 minutes in the evening everyday.

The Backbridge can also be used in numerous other stretching positions, in a yoga poses and a pilates exercises. More details can be found in THE ULTIMATE BACKBRIDGE STRETCH BOOK. E-book is sold together or separate with the Backbridge. You can purchase a hard copy of the book on Amazon.

You must determine the best starting level for you and increase the levels as your body acclimates to each level.

The Backbridge is 5 interlocking, individual, soft foam arches that stack together for different levels of support. The base level is 2 inches, and each of the next 4 levels adds 1.25 inches up to a total of 7 inches.

The Backbridge is 20 inches long by 9 inches wide and 7 inches high.

There are no current height restrictions. We have had clients over 6' 10' and under 5 feet tall.

Since the Backbridge is soft and spongy, there is no weight limit. In the unlikely event that your Backbridge breaks, we have a Lifetime warranty and a 90-day money-back guarantee.

We recommend wiping down the Backbridge with a damp wash cloth and dry before stacking, after every use.

About Decompression

Find out why it is important to safely decompress the spine daily.

Daily life compresses the spine—sitting, standing, lifting, stress, training load, and aging all place downward pressure on discs, joints, and nerves. Guided spinal decompression restores space, mobility, and function, helping patients feel and move better with minimal time investment.

Sitting, texting on our phones, desk jobs, standing, lifting, driving, and stress all compress the spine. Daily DECOMPRESSION restores the spacing nature intended. Backbridge is a natural, easy, safe way to decompress the back and spine.

When the spine becomes compressed, several structural, muscular, and neurological problems begin to accumulate—often gradually—until they manifest as pain, stiffness, fatigue, or reduced mobility and flexibility. Three main things happen over time. The Backbridge can help you counteract the compression process.

#1 Posture collapses because compression pulls the spine into a forward-flexed, rounded shape, which is why we see a forward head posture, rounded shoulders, shortened hip flexors, decreased rib expansion, and suboptimal breathing.

RESULT: discomfort + poor alignment + less efficient movement patterns.

#2 The body feels less mobile. People often describe feeling shorter, feeling tight or restricted, decreased flexibility, and difficulty bending or twisting.

RESULT: everyday movements become harder.

#3 Discs Lose Height & Hydration. Since spinal discs act like cushions between each vertebra. When compressed, they flatten and lose fluid, reducing their shock-absorbing ability. Chronic compression accelerates disc degeneration and increases the risk of disc bulging or herniation.

RESULT: stiffness, reduced range of motion, and long-term wear and tear.

Discs rely on movement and changes in pressure. Daily decompression improves: disc hydration, nutrient exchange, shock absorption, long-term disc health.

For the vast majority of people, daily decompression is safe, effective, and strongly encouraged.

When to ask a provider first:

People with the following should consult a clinician before starting decompression:

1. Acute disc herniation with severe radiating symptoms.

2. Spinal instability or fracture

3. Severe osteoporosis

4. Post-surgical spinal fusion - this will depend on phase of healing

5. You know your body best, reach out to your provider at any time.

Most people start at 1–2 sessions a day, 2 minutes each.

Athletes, desk workers, or people with back and neck discomfort may benefit from multiple shorter sessions throughout the day.

A few minutes a day can reduce tightness, improve mobility, decrease nerve irritation, reduce morning stiffness, and correct posture.
