Features
1. Can chronic low back pain be effectively treated?
Yes. Rehabilitation techniques utilizing intensive and specific strength training have produced significant improvements for patients. Over a year after the completion of their rehab. programs, most patients have reported maintaining their improved strength gains. ("The Clinical Effects of Intensive, Specific Exercise..." Orthopedics. 1995; 10: 971-981)
2. Why is "pelvic stabilization" particularly effective in strengthening the lower back?
Stabilizing the pelvis eliminates the use of the hamstrings and gluteals. This creates an exercise which specifically focuses on just the lumbar extensor muscles. Since they have to do all the work, they derive all the benefit and respond by dramatically increasing in strength. ("Pelvic Stabilization During Resistance Training..." Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. 1994; February: 210-215)
3. How does the Back Builder work?
The Back Builder isolates the muscles of the lower lumbar region of your back. The isolation results in form and technique ideal for maximizing the effectiveness of this lumbar extension exercise. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services now recommends extension rehabilitation for the treatment of acute low back pain. ("Acute Low Back Problems in Adults: Assessment and Treatment," 1994)
4. Is special training required to operate the Back Builder?
No. The Back Builder is simple to use. The exercises can be performed by yourself without the help of a trainer or therapist. All information necessary for properly operating this device is found in the manual and video provided.
5. The Back Builder exercise is considered "intensive" and "specific." Is intensive, specific exercise to "failure" safe?
Yes. Studies have shown that people can exercise specific muscle groups to failure and give maximum efforts with minimal risk. "Failure" is achieved when muscles tire to the point that they cannot perform another repetition using proper form. ("The Clinical Effects of Intensive, Specific Exercise..." Orthopedics. 1995; 10: 971-981)
6. How much space does the Back Builder require?
The Back Builder is less than 22 inches wide, 39 inches long, and 28 inches high. It is also collapsible and light-weight, so it is easy to store out of the way. It requires no more room than your average ironing board.
7. How much time does it take?
Less than three minutes a day, three days a week. You will see improvements in a month’s time. (Case Study. May 1996)
8. Are the belts elastic?
No. The belts are made from a webbing material that is comfortable yet limiting. The belts are the primary means for locking the pelvis in place, and elasticity would be counterproductive in this application.
