The MerryBack™ transfers the weight of your upper body to your hips, bypassing your lower back where all that pain is. Taking the weight off your lower back creates a gentle pulling apart of the spine which is called "spinal decompression". Decompression is a thousand-year-old effective way of alleviating back pain caused by compression of your spine due to gravity, old age and repetitive use, such as in sports or lifting. The MerryBack™ is different though because most back pain products squeeze your back or dramatically pull it apart -- like inversion tables, hanging from a doorway or pushing on a bar.   At MerryBack™ we discovered that those products provide too little or too much decompression. The MerryBack's™ gentle decompression takes place while sitting or standing and slightly leaning forward --*after a lot of research we learned that this kind of decompression provides long lasting relief, unlike the competition. It is believed this subtle decompression, a couple of hours a day, enables blood and nutrients to flow into the soft sponge like discs that separate painful vertebrae that are too close together giving your discs the time they need to re-hydrate, or "puff up" again and regain their padding. It is this "gentle decompression" that enables the MerryBack™ to provide long term pain relief after only a couple of hours a day for about 2 weeks.
