Ergonomic Furnishings and Accessories for Your Home and Office

Some years back, NASA decided they needed to make things more comfortable for their astronauts. Specifically, they needed to find a way to relieve some of the intense pressure they went through during lift-off into outer space. So they put their scientists on it and thus was born “Memory Foam.” NASA, never being one to profit from their inventions, went ahead and released the formula for memory foam to the public and we have been blessed with it ever since. After the release of their formula everybody and his brother began making memory foam products. At the same time, a group of Swedish scientists were looking at memory foam and saying “We can improve this. We can make it better.” So after spending millions of dollars and putting in several years of research, “Tempur-pedic” was born. Tempur-pedic is a memory foam type product, but is far superior to standard memory foam. It is more supportive, more comforting and has far greater pressure relieving qualities than standard memory foam. Originally marketed to hospitals as beds for burn victims, it quickly became obvious that everybody could enjoy the benefits that Tempur-pedic had to offer. Tempur-pedic beds have since become the most highly recommended beds in the United States and quite possibly the world. We at Relax The Back are proud to carry Tempur-pedic beds in all 110 of our stores. Being back care specialty retail stores, we are doubly proud to be able to say that Tempur-pedic beds are the #1 doctor recommended bed for anyone with any kind of back problems. When you combine the wonderful benefits of a Tempur-pedic mattress with a new technologically advanced adjustable base, you create the ultimate sleeping experience. Come on in to Relax The Back and see for yourself. You’ll be glad you did!

Massage can be a wonderful thing. People in the far east have known about the benefits of massage for a very long time and within the last two years the American Medical Association has released studies that confirm these beliefs and show that massage is very beneficial to your entire body.

No need to worry – it has nothing to do with ultraviolet radiation (which gives you a sunburn and damages your skin). Radiant heat is simply a form of energy that heats objects directly through a process called conversion, without having to heat the air in between. Radiant heat is also called infrared energy. Our sun is the principal source of radiant energy that we enjoy daily.
Have you ever been outside on a partly cloudy spring day of about 50 degrees F. and felt quite comfortable until the sun was suddenly obscured by a cloud? Although the air temperature had not had time to drop you felt chilled because the cloud would not let the warming infrared rays through to reach you.
Far infrared heat penetrates well because it gently warms your body from the inside out, unlike other heat sources that warm from the outside in. Because of this, the warmth from far infrared heat lasts much longer than the heat from other sources.
German physicians have been using infared therapy for over 80 years and over the past 25 years , Japanese and Chinese researchers have done extensive research on infared treatments and reported many provocative findings.
The list of health enhancements through the use of infared is impressive and it includes: relief from all forms of arthritis, eases joint pain and stiffness, improves blood circulation, relaxes muscles and increases flexibility, relieves pain, improves the immune system and helps to reduce stress and fatigue.
Here at Relax The Back we carry a wonderful line of far infared products. We have healing pads and healing belts which use natural jade stones to thoroughly and evenly distribute the heat to your body. We have swivel, zero-gravity recliners with far infrared heat in three strategic locations, lift chairs with optional far infrared heat and we even have a massage bed which gently massages your body from head to toe while at the same time it applies far infrared heat the whole length of your body. So come on in to Relax The Back and experience far infared heat. You’ll be glad you did!

Back Pain During Pregnancy

Many pregnant woman suffer from back pain for 3 reasons:
1. Weight gain – Woman may gain as much as 25% of their body weight during pregnancy, adding pressure to the spine.
2. Shifting center of gravity – As the baby grows, the mother carries more weight in the front. This changes how the muscles are used and can lead pain and fatigue.
3. Hormonal changes – Certain hormones relax the joints for the birthing process which affects the way the ligaments and joints support the body.
Some tips for pregnancy-related back pain relief.
• Try sleeping on your side with a pillow between your knees.
• Use a lumbar cushion when sitting to better support the inward curve in the lower back.
• Maintain correct posture. Straighten your spine so your ears, shoulders and hips are in a straight line whenever possible.

It seems these days the airlines are charging for everything! Now they’re even charging you for a pillow. Crazy isn’t it? And after you pay for it, do you get to keep that pillow? Noooo!
