Do You Have Back Pain?

Did you know that back pain is one of the world leading causes of disability? It is estimated that more than 85% of the world's population will experience an episode of back pain during their lifetime.

Back pain usually disappears in the first few weeks with or without treatment. However, it is important to manage back pain before it becomes a serious issue in future.

Muscle strengthening exercises help build important muscles in your back that supports your spine. A healthy spine is crucial to prevent back problems plaguing you in the future.


The Spine

Think of your spine as a powerful strong spring. The spring gets its function from the space of its coil. Hence, the further the space in between each coil, the more 'bounce' a spring has.

Just like a spring, your spine's discs are responsible for the 'bounce' your spine has, enabling your body to move smoothly. Your spine's discs are made out of jelly-like material called nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus. These get nutrition from the vertebral bodies above and below it. During spinal movement, the vertebral endplates act like pumps delivering nutrients to the disc. When the disc’s fluid decreases, the distance of the vertebrae decreases as well, making the spine lose its stability. With a decrease in spinal stability, your nerves will get pinched, causing you back pain.

A happy spine is one that is strong and healthy. Your must pay attention to your spine in order to avoid health problems such as chronic low back pain, shoulder and neck pain.


Benefits of Mastercare

Mastercare

Start your day today by getting better spinal health! Here’s how Mastercare helps strengthen your spine and relieve back pain:-

Relaxes Muscles

Mastercare relaxes muscles, allowing toxins that cause muscle pain to be drained out. What's more, inversion helps clear blood from your feet, legs and lower body – helping relieve varicose veins.

Improves Spinal Function

A spine that's properly elongated (stretched) ensures that there is more space between joints, allowing for better nutrition and less compression. Undo the hours of sitting you experience everyday using the Mastercare stretching plan.

Takes Pressure Off Nerve Roots

When you practice inversion therapy on Mastercare, stress is tkane off the nerve roots, effectively lessening the pain you feel in your back and body.

Feeds Spinal Discs

While you're inverted, your spine will be stretched and opens up. Allowing nutrients to feed and hydrate the spine. When discs are hydrated, friction between discs is eliminated, reducing back pain.

Inversion Therapy Also Helps You in Other Ways

Helps prevent shortening Effects of an Aging Spine.

When your discs are deprived of moisture, it shrivels up and causes us to lose up to 2cm-5cm in height throughout our lifetime. Mastercare helps open up our spine and lets nutrient-rich fluid hydrate our discs, allowing us to reach our maximum height possible.

Decongests Internal Organs

Inversion therapy with Mastercare helps to decongest prolapsed (collapsed and bloated) internal organs like the intestines, allowing for easier digestion and function.

Increases Alertness

When you're in an inverted position, oxygen-rich blood is pumped back to your brain, increasing alertness and helps you avoid mental fatigue.

Increases Flexibility & Range of Motion

Our increasingly sedentary lifestyle is to blame for joint stiffness / pain. Mastercare gently decompresses your spine and strengthens your ligaments, tendons and stretches your back muscles, thereby effectively increasing your flexibility, range of motion and eliminates join aches.

Builds Core Muscles

When your frontal core (abdominal) muscles are weak, your body slumps forward to compensate for the lack of frontal support, making you prone to injury. Inversion therapy strengthens and aligns your core muscles, helping you avoid back injury.

Get a Healthy Spine Today!

A strong and healthy spine is the key to a life free from health problems. One effective and safe way of stabilising the spine – that also doubles-up to improve your overall health – is inversion therapy.

Mastercare has unique and patented moving backrest that helps you perform inversion therapy in a safe, comfortable and relaxed environment Mastercare allows therapeutic exercises in a decompressed mode, rendering natural spinal decompression – thanks to its moving backrest and locking position in 15° or 30°.

Our exercises are developed by healthcare professionals to help you strengthen and stabilise your spine. When your body is inverted at either 15° or 30°, your body's weight is used against the downward force of gravity. When your spine is decompressed, the space between each vertebra increases and nutrients feed your spine's discs, strengthening ligaments and tendons not only in your back, but in other joints too.
