7 Unique Uses for the Backbridge, Besides Posture and Pain Relief

One of the best aspects of Backbridge is its versatility. While many use it to fix their posture or seek back pain relief, it has many other uses. From yoga to fitness training, the Backbridge is a great tool for all types of health exercises.

Physioball

The Backbridge allows you to do any of the exercises you would do with a large exercise ball, except the Backbridge is smaller, customizable, more safe and portable.

Fitness Training

Fitness step platforms can sometimes be too hard of a surface for intense fitness training. The Backbridge’s customizable medical-grade foam levels are both durable and soft enough to make the exercise more challenging than a typical step platform. Squats, pushups, lunges, and tricep dips are great exercises to use with the Backbridge.  Bicycling Magazine partnered with our Backbridge to give riders ten exercises specifically for cyclists.

Using the Backbridge for stretching allows you to personalize and deepen your stretches. Its contoured design and 5 interlocking levels allow you to customize stretches, as increasing levels make the stretches more intense.
