The Original Body Bridge - ideal for reverse back stretching.

An effective way to alleviate back pain is to reverse stretch or arch the body the opposite to bending over. If one lies backwards so that the front part of the body is stretched, this will further relax the spine and the muscles, with the added benefit of freeing up the spinal discs and vertebrae from the natural pull of gravity. Once you stretche backwards, the abdominal muscles will tighten and eventually strengthen. This will greatly strength the back so when you bend over or do any type of lifting you will have less of a chance of discomfort. 

If you arch your back you help reduce stress. Many studies have even concluded that bending backwards can help reduce the stress put on the lower back by up to 50%. This action also provides a mild and passive type of exercise for the ligaments, tendons and the muscles that surround the abdoman. This permits a more efficient supply of blood to flow to every part of the body and by utilizing this pull of gravity in many different directions we experience more muscle freedom because now you are using muscles you never thought existed.

The arched position also places a very beneficial pressure on the lower part of the back that tends to separate and sort of open up the vertebrae, freeing and opening up the nerve channels that flow from the spine to help lubricate and also to restore the blood supply to all the connective tissue and the organs. Arching your back this way also induces a spreading or opening of the rib cage that will produce more vital functioning of the organs. In addition, this backwards arch then places gentle tension on the front part of the body. This can be very beneficial in cases of constipation and other intestinal complaints.
 

WHY THE BODYBRIDGE IS SO EFFECTIVE

• Helps fight the aging effects of gravity.  The many side-effects of gravity are evident in many differen ways, such as baggy eyes, sagging skin, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, chronic back pain, compressed spinal discs and skeletal joints, and downward pressure on internal organs. The BodyBridge can help reverse this process.
• Helps reduce the trauma of any type of exercise.  Intense exercise can have a negative impact your muscules and bones. The negative effectives of exercises such as jogging, aerobics, tennis, football, racquetball can often be offset by using the BodyBridge.
• Helps to enhance bodywork treatments.  A session with the BodyBridge before a massage can help provide a more effective massage session.
• Helps to increase spinal length.  The regular use of the BodyBridge will help to lengthen the vertebrae.
• Helps promote the health of spinal discs and nerves.   By reducing disc and spinal nerve compression, the regular use of BodyBridge will help rejuvenate spinal nerves, it will also increase the blood flow to the spine, will help improve the functioning of the nervous system, and can have a beneficial effect on deteriorating spinal discs. The Body Bridge is also known to promote  lymphatic drainage.
• Helps tone abdominal organs and aids digestion.  The regular use of BodyBridge also has a beneficial effect on the soft, hollow organs of digestion and is also known to stimulate the bowel function while rebuilding and relieving compressed or prolapsed organs especially the intestines, kidneys, liver, and stomach, to the the proper position.
• The BodyBridge is one of the safest and one of the most effective methods to improve and maintain muscular / skeletal well-being. This backward bending approach to inversion is also a more effective way of promoting traction in the some of the most compressed body areas surrounding the lumbar, sacral and sacraliliac joints.
