Only SpineDok™ Combines the Top Natural Holistic Practices for Back Pain and Tension Relief.

SpineDok™ is the perfect complement to other practices you may be utilizing for your back pain or for overall fitness, including:

The Fish Pose, Matsyasana
This is a supine pose (done lying down) that gives a backward stretch to the cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions of the spine. This is an excellent stretch for the upper body since it opens the lungs, heart, back and abdomen.

Matsyasana on the SpineDok™
Lying on the SpineDok™ helps you sustain a gentle version of the Yoga Fish Pose. Adding risers helps provide a deeper stretch that more closely resembles the Fish Pose. Because SpineDok™ actually holds the pose for you, it tones the nerves of the neck, back, and helps exercise the chest.

Benefits of Matsyasana

Stretches the muscles and ligaments of the spine and neck
Increases flexibility (which helps take pressure off of the nerves)
Helps relieve stiffness of the neck and shoulders
Aids in correcting any tendency of rounded shoulders
Improves posture
Expands the rib cage and chest fully, increasing lung capacity and aiding in deep breathing

Pilates
Pilates is a low impact form of exercise that focuses on flexibility of the spine in all planes of possible motion.

Pilates on the SpineDok™
SpineDok™ is designed to provide a gentle supported stretch that is an ideal supplement to Pilates routines. This support allows the back to rest and relax. At the same time, the forces of gravity are gently applied to help open the vertebrae of the spine. Over time, SpineDok™ can help improve posture for a healthy spine

Benefits of Pilates

Teach breath awareness and spinal alignment
Emphasizes spinal range of motion and back strengthening
Focuses on the core postural muscles essential to maintaining balance and spinal support
Strengthens those muscles which help support the spine

Acupressure
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the body contains hundreds of pressure points located throughout the human body. Many of these points are commonly used in acupuncture and acupressure treatments

Acupressure and the SpineDok™
Lying on the SpineDok™ can help activate and massage acupressure points along either side of the spine which can subsequently help improve circulation, relax the nervous system, and help balance the respiratory system in addition to helping relax the spine.

Benefits of Acupressure
Many acupressure points are located near or on the spine and may be pressed or massaged to:

Help pain relief
Open nerve pathways
Restore balance (or chi) to the body
