Therapeutic Use:

Aquatic therapy has been utilized for thousands of years to help stimulate circulation, reduce stress, swelling, stiffness, pain and treat numerous illnesses. Now a new, multi-patented aquatic healing system is being introduced as the exercise prescription for low back/joint and other musculoskeletal disorders, from BODYCISER® , which uses the natural buoyancy of water to allow the human body to be strengthend and stretched in a weightless environment. 

The average person of 130 lbs. puts over 5 million lbs. of pressure onto the feet each day, just from walking. This boydweight stress, along with a land based exercise routine, increases the risk of developing a joint/disc/ligament problem. The largest United States low back study, conducted by the United States Department of Health and Human services along with the 17,000 member American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, recommend trunk flexing/total body exercise as an important remedy for people with low back disorders. Back pain researchers have found that "exercise lubricates spinal disks and helps patients overcome low back pain". Intemational researchers on arthritis/joint pain found that patients had a significant increase in aerobic capacity without the risk of joint damage by taking part in aquatic exercise. As the center of the human body, the abdominal/trunk flexing muscle group is most important since they transfer power and control movement between both upper and lower torso. 

In order to address one of the major problems associated with low back/joint disorders, bodyweight stress and weak underexercised stomach/back muscles along with total body movement, BODYCISER® created the Flex-A-Back(TM) / BODYCISER® exerciser. A scientifically designed system of floatation and method of controlled exercise, the Flex-A-Back(TM) / BODYCISER® system allows focused trunk flexing total body movements while floating gravity free in a pool, spa, or even your bathtub, without bodyweight stress to the joints, discs, and ligaments 

The preferred soothing water medium naturally cushions and loosens stiff, inelastic muscles, helping enhance range of motion and blood flow, and quickening the healing process without the land based risk of accelerated musculoskeletal degeneration, sprains, strains and muscle pulls. Keeping the spine neutral, accomplished naturally in water, is noted by most physical therapists as the perfect position during trunk flexing exercise. This means that even the most out of shape/overweight individual along with the handicapped and even those experiencing major low back/joint pain or in rehabilitation can safely exercise. 

Exercises include traditional land based movements with unlimited variations of flexion, extension and lateral movement. They include sit-ups, leg raises, stomach crunches, pelvic arches, knee extensions, backstroke. water cycling, jogging and more. Movements you could never do on land, due to either condition or bodyweight, will be performed safely in the water without bodyweight stress to the lower back, tailbone, joints and ligaments.
