Sometimes ideas that can benefit others, and in ways you can’t imagine, come from trying to solve a problem for yourself. 

For the two of us brothers, the idea for Backsaber® had been simmering for a while. A designer and a mechanical engineer respectively, we’d spent years sitting for long periods at desk jobs. Both of us had experienced various back aggravations, injuries, and issues – one of us even had back surgery.

What if there was a simple, intuitive, resistance device to take a break from chair and screen? From hunching over your cell phone, your laptop, your steering wheel.

What if it helped you move, stretch, reengage your back and body, and promote posture positivity and circulation? 

With that simple idea, and many months of engineering, design, testing, prototyping, and ultimately a U.S. Patent, the Backsaber® exercise & therapy trainer was proudly born.

We developed Backsaber® with clear objectives. Make it simple and easy-to-use. Employ the highest quality materials and construction. Make it look, feel and function elegantly and smoothly. And make it accessible to everyone.

We wanted a device with no subscriptions, screens, batteries, cords, bells or buzzers. Nothing to adjust, maintain, plug in, or update. An investment more than a purchase. Oh, and let’s make it easy to clean.

Along the way, we also discovered Backsaber® could do even more.

Today, Backsaber® is not only being used by people working sedentary jobs, but by personal trainers, athletes, Pilates and yoga instructors, chiropractors, physical therapists, and those with ailments and disabilities.

It’s helping people increase their flexibility, mobility, proprioception, wrist and hand articulation, tone and balance. It’s helping others gently strengthen and recover.

Backsaber® provides and encourages gentle, throughout-the-day movement, stretching, and strengthening. It’s a serious exercise-therapy trainer that can be easily and intuitively used by almost anyone whether you are training, working out, working from home, warming up, gaming, practicing Pilates or yoga or involved with physical therapy and rehabilitation.

You may find yourself bonding with your Backsaber®. Its personal, almost meditative quality seemingly breathes with you, taking you away from your day-to-day. Backsaber® will make a great addition to your habit stack!

Focus on you, your body, your form. Just Backsaber® and you.

We are grateful for the talented and caring chiropractors, physical therapists, doctors, surgeons, personal trainers, yoga, Pilates and mindfulness instructors – and many others – who have helped and healed us, and taught about our body mechanics over many years. Not to mention the support of our family and friends.

Thanks for taking the time to read about where we’re coming from.

We hope you find Backsaber® as satisfying, versatile, and effective as we do, and that you make it part of your exercise and therapy toolkit.

Yours in wellness, 
Vincent & John
