The ultimate back pain starter kit! 

For those starting their back pain recovery journey, these products are exactly what YOU need to start right.

Back Pain Starter Kit—including the Back Mechanic Video Enhanced, Gift of Injury, LumbAir, PropAir, EmbraceAir Plus, and Inline Seating—everything you need to build a smarter, stronger spine at home. 

Back Mechanic Video Enhanced: (Soft back, September 2015) is geared for the lay public and anybody with back pain. Dr. McGill guides the reader through a step-by-step process to identify their particular pain triggers, then based upon this assessment, guides the person on what they should stop doing and what they should do. Including video demos and instructions performed by Dr. Stuart McGill. 

Gift Of Injury: Written by Dr. Stuart McGill and Brian Carroll. This book is about healing injuries in the athlete's back and then building resilience to compete again. Anyone who trains will enhance their injury resilience and performance by employing these proven principles with athletes.

LumbAir: is a lumbar support that also promotes ideal posture and posture changes. It is easy to carry for use in cars, airplanes, theatres, or for home use.

PropAir: Recently, this same air bladder technology has been shown to reduce disc stress while sleeping. This resulted in the “PropAIR sleeper.”

Lying on the back causes the low back to flatten to the mattress causing spine flexion. Many people have flexion-triggered pain making back sleeping painful. Pain will increase your sensitivity to more pain during the day – eliminating pain while lying will help wind down your pain sensitivity.

Embrace AirPlus: incorporates an air bladder that is easily positioned with a vertical adjustment within the back frame. This optimizes the fit for each person. The inflatable bladder helps people to achieve relieving postures and changes in posture throughout the day, and to enhance back health for those who sit.

Inline Seating: has a molded natural wood frame and high quality ‘30-year’ foam. The In-Line Seating cradles the buttocks and evenly distributes body weight with contoured leg troughs and overflow edges to reduce weight on bony prominences. Ideal when your current seat is either too hard, too soft, or when you want to stabilize your back support height. Inline Seating can be attached to any of our ‘Embrace‘ type back supports with the included Velcro straps. Remember, fabric treated to make it immune to fungus bacteria and odor.
