backgym is a simple tool which helps the patient to correct a posture which has become incorrect over the years. As a physiotherapist, it is important to me that the muscles which are responsible for alignment work properly and stress is taken off the other muscles.
Because the vest is very soft, backgym does not perform any support functions but rather serves as a reminder that the patient has to straighten his or her own posture. Thus, someone who wears it has to actively use his back muscles and can then train and strengthen these muscles, thereby achieving a better posture and reducing pain.

With backgym, we can offer our customers an effective tool to train their posture. In particular, they appreciate its easy operation for everyday training or when playing sports. The adjustability of the belt also allows flexible adjustment.
The concept of the backgym supports our philosophy of muscle activation and is therefore a very good supplement to our product range.

backgym helps people who have difficulty keeping themselves and their back upright as is anatomically correct. This problem can have different causes but usually the back musculature is too weak.
backgym provides support in a gentle way, is pleasant to wear, can be individually adjusted and helps to adjust the back posture. By gently pulling on the muscles in the chest and shoulder area, which are usually shortened, they become accustomed to this lengthening process. As a result, pressure is taken off the back-shoulder-neck muscles and they gradually relax.

backgym is an effective alternative to physiotherapy for posture defects in our customers. It acts passively when working, training or during your leisure time. The posture improves itself through the proper positioning.
The customers thereby receive feedback when they are sitting “improperly” or are bending forward. Thus, proper posture is learned from oneself, the muscle structure is activated and after a certain amount of time, correct standing and sitting postures can be maintained also without backgym.

backgym is a logical, effective training tool for back pain. The posture-improving effect is immediately tangible. Therefore, it is important to let the customer try on backgym in the store and thereby determine the size.
- Irène Schlumpf, Pharmacist, Technical College, Dagmersellen
I was able to try backgym myself and I am impressed by the product. It helps one to deal with an improper posture to which one has become accustomed and to correct this. Today, when many spend the entire day before the computer, backgym is an indispensable companion.
- Irene Estermann, Qualified Druggist, Technical College, Dromenta AG management
As a general manager and mother, I hardly have time for sports, yoga etc., so I bought a backgym. As soon as I am home, I can put on my backgym and do my pending work as usual. Even after just a few days, my husband noticed a difference in my posture. When we released backgym at the pharmacy, customers became aware of it and we have regularly received positive feedback.
- Lea Broggini, CEO, Swiss Qualified Pharmacist
I became familiar with backgym through a good friend. Because I am active in the fitness industry, I was initially sceptical because I am presented new “innovations” which are supposed to improve other’s lives almost on a daily basis. I tested the backgym on myself and noticed that this itself benefits for well-trained persons. To make a long story short – we have been successfully selling backgym since mid-2016 as a supplement to fitness training and as “homework” for our customers. They are excited and proudly say that they really did the “homework” during the week.
