General information
- Short Summary
- A spine surgeon and traumatologist-orthopaedist from Latvia that has been related to the treatment and research of acute and chronic back pain for years, together with a team of professional doctors, engineers, technologists and designers, has created an innovative product – an acupressure brace, which relieves back pain and back muscle tension, while maintaining the intensity of normal daily activities and increasing the overall comfort of the body.
- Full Description
-
A company based in Latvia, who is a trusted manufacturer of high-quality medical devices with a focus on reliability and performance, has elaborated an innovative product – an acupressure brace, which relieves back pain and back muscle tension, while maintaining the intensity of normal daily activities and increasing the overall comfort of the body. In comparison to other already-on-market medical devices this product does not restrict movements and does not put pressure on internal organs thus allowing prolonged wearing.
Different principle
• The corset maintains muscle performance and strength because of the carefully crafted material’s ability to stretch in specific directions without impeding movement.
• The brace contains acupressure elements that improve blood microcirculation in the back muscles and balance muscle tone.
• The massage’s components gently stimulate the nerve system, making it possible for you to more clearly feel the back’s lumbar region, where there is more muscle tension and where it is necessary to quickly change positions in order to relax the muscles.
• The “Acupressure Octopus” closing mechanism is designed to avoid putting pressure on the internal organs of the abdomen.
4 Zones – individual adaptability
• The support elements for the correct curvature of the spine and the massage elements are located in four zones. The tightening mechanisms in each zone connect to each other and evenly distribute the pressure on the spine on both sides. This ensures that your back muscles are not loaded on one side only, preventing spinal imbalance.
• The massage elements cover not only the paravertebral muscles or the muscles around the spine but also the lateral muscles, resulting in better muscle blood flow and higher therapeutic efficacy.
Support and comfort
The stable brace support system ensures that the brace does not change the position in which you put it on. A person feels comfortable and free by selecting the tightening intensity that suits best.
The acupressure brace adapts to any curvature of the body and even during intense movements, such as sports, the material fully occupies the required position.
The fabric of the brace is light and breathable and at the appropriately chosen tightening intensity, it will not cause any friction or body imprint.
The company is looking for commercial agreement with technical assistance as well as research collaboration. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The technology used in the brace relieves tension in the back muscles, increases blood microcirculation and relieves back pain.
The brace helps to restore the correct posture by mechanically increasing the curvature of the back waist – for this purpose, the sides of the brace have a special mechanism, which, when tightened, allows you to apply the curvature of the lumbar region that is right for you.
If you use the brace several times during the day, then depending on the activities to be performed, the tension of the brace can be changed so that the movements are always comfortable and pleasant.
The brace has been made of high-quality materials, which ensures the long-term quality of the product.
Helps curing these symptoms:
• Prolonged lower back pain.
• Back muscle tension.
• Sports or daily microtrauma detected.
• As part of rehabilitation after injuries indirectly related to dorsal lumbar muscle tone imbalance.
• For prophylactic purposes, using a corset even when the back does not hurt, but muscle toning and general body comfort are needed. - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
