The Whale Therapeutic Back Bench

 

The Therapeutic Whale Back Bench's name comes from its elegantly curved profile as you see in the magnificent sea mammal, the Whale. Both Whales have many uses. Our Whale is designed in a way that it stretches and elongates the spine.

 

That feels so good after a long day of working over a desk or computer, or just walking with a slight hunch. The Therapeutic Whale actually rejuvenates and energizes your entire body ! Try it, and if you don't feel better after using it, return it with in 10 days and I'll refund your money. That's how confident I am about it's effect. It's AMAZING !

And It Works! After a number of years of the weight of the world, gravity, and your posture begin to take its toll on your back, especially  your spinal column. Your muscles become tight, your spine begins to loose its graceful S-curve and instead becomes rounded or humped. Your neck muscles feel tight from the tension placed on them from just holding your head up.
                                                                                                                                   
The Whale provides a way to counteract these problems:                                    

• Position yourself in a gentle back-bend on the Whale.
• Your spine will stretch and elongate itself.
• It feels so good just to lie there.I go into a meditative state and get some good work done while I relax, undoing the stress that the day has put on my spine.
• This can reverse the damage to your spine and help to improve your posture, relax those muscles, and just plain feels good.
  

Since the weight of your upper and lower body are acting in opposite directions, a traction effect is achieved thus elongating your spine. This reduces vertebrae and disc compression and it's possible to relieve the pain that's associated with compressed vertebrae and stressed muscles on top of improving your posture.

These features allow The Whale to be used by people with a wide range of flexibility:

• By moving up or down the gradual increase of the Whale's curve you can vary your stretch.
  
• You can control the intensity of the stretch, by where you position yourself, thus keeping the vulnerable lower back protected from over extension by starting out on the flatter part of the Whale.
• The adjustable neck and head rest allows those who need the support, if required, for their neck and head. The head rest is removable if you don't need it. 
• Some people prefer the headrest to be placed under their lumbar (lower) spine instead.
  

If desired The Whale also provides for a series of complementary stretches as shown in the accompanying photos:

• For instance when finishing a back-bend, you can slide into a chest and shoulder opening stretch followed by a forward bend.
• Each posture releases and stretches different joints and muscles allowing a whole routine to be developed on The Whale.
• Body workers and Yoga students will love the way The Whale supports their weight allowing them to focus on opening and releasing specific muscle groups.
  

An added bonus of using The Whale is these energizing and rejuvenating effects:

• By extending the spine, releasing tightly held muscles, and increasing blood flow to the brain.
  
• The Whale often increases ones personal sense of well being.
• Some people even report having less trouble sleeping with regular usage.
  

You can imagine how a nice stretch like this, especially after a warm bath or shower, could put you right in the mood for sleep.
