BACKSURE NECK SUPPORT

Backsure is based on research and clinical trials1-4. It provides continuous therapeutic heat by reflecting the body's own heat (infrared) back to the target joint. Greater heat than with other materials, and many advantages over conventional heat therapy whilst support is provided through proprioception. Can be used to ease pain by itself and on top of other treatments. Indications: Subacute/chronic mechanical neck pain, including whiplash, overuse, and degenerative changes. The breathable device can be worn day and night with the effect increasing with time. Available in two styles: soft for freedom of movement whilst supporting muscles or semi-rigid for head/neck support. Hand wash only. For size, measure neck circumference. References:
