GOT YOUR BACK is a health and wellness store in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. They are proud to announce the newest addition to their impressive back and spine care product line - The Spinalis Chair made exclusively in Slovania by Tomaz Ham. Because millions of people spend so much of their day sitting, Mr. Ham designed a chair that allows for “Active Sitting”. The Spinalis chair has a moveable seat that was designed specifically to keep the spinal column constantly in a correct position. At the same time the back and abdominal muscles are being strengthened, which is the very basis for a healthy back.
240 million Americans either have suffered or will suffer from some type of back pain or spinal injury. There are a number of reasons why. To name just a few:
Trauma – Back pain may be caused by any of the following; poor posture, poor sleeping habits, slips and falls, vehicular accidents, sports impacts, strenuous exercise, work injuries, or childhood falls. These injuries, not always immediately detected, often produce a misalignment of the bones, which place physical pressure and stress on the nerves.
Toxicity - Toxins in the food or environment can produce serious adverse effects in every cell, organ, gland, and body system. When they interfere with the functioning of the nervous system, they are called toxic subluxations.
Emotional Stress - Emotional stress of day to day life is often cumulative and creates an increasing risk factor for disease. Your responses to day to day stress and to traumatic life events are often programmed into your nervous system as conditioned reflexes. When they interfere with the normal functioning of the nervous system, back pain or disease may be a result.
Sedentary Lifestyle – Many of us are too busy to exercise, spend too much time sitting at the computer, driving in our cars or watching television in positions that lead to further pain and distress.
Here’s the GOOD news: There is an increasing awareness of spinal health and how to achieve it naturally without spending thousands of dollars! Join us on Saturday, December 12, 2009 and experience new products and approaches that will improve and even eliminate your back pain naturally.
