Launching BetterBack on Kickstarter last year was an over the moon dream come true!!! I’ve been working closely with an amazing team of industrial designers, doctors, physiotherapists, trainers, beta testers and manufacturers to come up with a next gen version of BetterBack that I know you’ll love.

We’ve made lots of amazing improvements to BetterBack Therapy — things like hot/cold therapy packs, memory foam cushioning, and a brand new Plus option.

We’re back on Kickstarter so we can share these amazing improvements with YOU, the same community that made BetterBack possible in the first place! BetterBack Therapy and BetterBack Therapy Plus are truly made by the community, for the community, and I’m so excited to give our Kickstarter backers first access and special discounts!

Unfortunately, no. BetterBack Therapy is not safe to wear driving, or when you need quick leg mobility. It is great for sitting at your desk, eating, meeting, going to a movie, sitting on an airplane, meditating, etc. Note: you can wear BetterBack Therapy cross-legged!

It's hard to believe, but most people don't even notice when you're wearing it. I sit through meals, meetings and flights with BetterBack Therapy on and it's only when I'm taking it off that people tend to notice it, with a "you've been wearing that this whole time?!!" The thing that tends to happen next is someone shares their story of back pain and asks to try it on. I’ve tried everything.

You betcha! Check out real, honest reviews from backers like you here: http://reviews.getbetterback.com/

Sit in perfect posture for minutes or hours. BetterBack Therapy and BetterBack Therapy Plus are comfortable to wear all day long, but even 15 minutes a day can greatly improve the quality of your life.

Since everyone has a different history and experience with back pain, it’s always best to consult with a doctor if you have any specific questions. We love using heat therapy for healing, relaxing tight muscles and spasms, and for gentle pain relief. We’ve also found cold therapy to be best for acute injuries, inflammation and pain relief, especially right after injuries or workouts. These are general guidelines, and we always recommend using whatever type of therapy feels best for your back!

BetterBack Therapy can help relieve the pain and inflammation that comes along with these medical conditions. The hot/cold therapy packs are designed to give you pain relief and healing on-the-go. However, we always recommend that you speak with your doctor first for specific advice before using BetterBack Therapy.

I’ve spent the past year listening to your amazing feedback to create a next gen version of BetterBack that I think you’ll love. BetterBack Therapy comes with amazing new features like hot/cold therapy packs, memory foam padding and extra, high-quality features that will help your BetterBack Therapy to be as comfortable and last as long as possible.
BetterBack Therapy now also comes in a new size fitting up to a 55” inch waist — Better Back Plus. It’s perfect for folks who are bigger, taller or just looking for an extra big bear hug for their back.

BetterBack Therapy is perfect for people with up to a 38” waist who are looking for a lightweight, portable option. BetterBack Therapy Plus is twice the size, and is an amazing choice for bigger and taller folks with up to a 55” waist. If you want something super substantial or just want the biggest bear hug for your back, BetterBack Plus might also be a good choice.
Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide which size you think would work best for YOU! Just make sure to take into account size, portability and support.

Unfortunately, we don’t accept returns or refunds on items received as Kickstarter rewards. In the Kickstarter community, the item that you receive after backing our project is considered a reward, instead of a traditional purchase. By backing our project, you’re supporting our business goals and mission, and what you get in return is considered a token of appreciation for your amazing support.

The way that Kickstarter works is unique. When our Kickstarter campaign is over, we’ll send you a survey that’ll ask for your best shipping address. Please note that we can’t send you your new BetterBack Therapy unless you provide us with a shipping address — so make sure to watch your email inbox! :)
