Bak balls (BAKBALL)
BakBalls can immediately relieve your back pain and stiffness.
Using BakBalls daily can loosen a stiff and painful spine,
accelerate your recovery from back injuries and reduce the chance
of your back pain recurring. By exerting localised pressure on
stiff joints, BakBalls allow you to safely self-treat your back
pain and stiffness.
BakBalls have been designed to match the anatomy of your spine
and provide therapeutic force directly onto the most commonly
painful regions of the spine. Developed by an Olympic Sports
Physiotherapist, Bakballs are unique in their anatomical design,
portability and ease of use.
