Our thanks to those who have taken the time to write to us with their experiences of The Back Aid.

Ms. V. Trayford.
I was working as a part-time Nurse and midwife, and damaged my back lifting a patient in hospital. After treatment by a specialist and using a back brace I returned to work. Over the past 18 years I have been dogged by continuous back pain and at times was totally incapacitated. After using The Back Aid it gave me absolute relief. If I do too much gardening I can use my Back Aid and be back to normal in a few hours. Many friends drop by for a ‘hang’. I literally could not live and work to my full capacity without my Back Aid. I think The Back Aid should be in every hospital nurses rest rooms.

Mr. R. Stranks.
Exactly one month has passed [since delivery of The Back Aid], with sensational results.
I had suffered back pain for 20 years (I am 58 years old), the last 12 months unbearable to an extent that I thought my working days as a concrete contractor and my sport of race cycling were over. I could not sleep without pain from my lower back and was in agony at work, and on the bike my form dropped away badly to the extent that I missed a place in the Victorian Vet Road Titles after being bronze medallist the previous two years.

After a few days on The Back Aid I noticed a vast difference with the pain easing. After 1 month I have no back spasms and no sciatic pain down the leg. I still have occasional hip discomfort, but I am confident that The Back Aid may improve this.

I still cannot believe that I can work pain free, and the same on the bike. I do 300 km a week in training and racing, and my racing has improved dramatically. I am so grateful to you for making my life pain free, after 20 years. I wish you every success with the product.

Mrs. R. Kuhnd
I am sure you would like to know how delighted I am with The Back Aid. I am 41 years old and work at home duties. My back problem, which I've had for most of my life, was medically diagnosed as a pinched nerve. My treatment over the years consisted of visits to chiropractors, osteopaths and other. This only ever provided temporary relief.

At the time of purchasing your unit I was suffering severe lower back and leg pain and could see quite possibly a back operation coming up in the near future. I have enjoyed the unit for three months now and in that time I have had no need for physiotherapy treatments. The pain has greatly reduced and I am comfortable walking quite upright.

I feel in total control of my back problem, which is wonderful after all the years of doubt and worry, not to mention the time and money spent on unsuccessful treatments only giving temporary relief.

My husband is a part time masseur and after seeing my results and using the unit himself, believes every home should have one and that OH&S departments should look at this product for prevention and rehabilitation for back problems in industry.

Mr. J. C. Fletcher
I was told by my doctors the only way my back was going to get better was [to have] an operation. This was to put me out of action for months. I had a prolapsed disc between L4 and L5 lower back. Then I remembered your traction unit.

Thank you for all your help. I use [The Back Aid] everyday for just 2 to 3 minutes. I was back at work in just 4 weeks, and believe the availability at all times of my Back Aid and exercising both at work and at home is its greatest asset.

B. Hibbert
I'm 15 years old and I'd had back pain for about half a year. I went to my doctors and a physio and was diagnosed with Sherman's [sic] Disease. The doctors told me I wasn't to play any sports for about a year, so I missed playing football this year. Then I saw The Back Aid on A Current Affair and convinced my dad to take me to have a look at it.

I had a go on it and immediately afterwards I felt a difference. My dad then bought it for me. Since using it for about 1-2 months I have had about 90% improvement. Before using it I couldn't even walk to school because my back hurt too much. Now I am playing basketball with no pain at all. The Back Aid is really easy to use and my whole family uses it.

NOTE: CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR OR SPECIALIST WHEN CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF THE BACK AID.
