Get Back to Work and Play

Trekke Lumbar Lift relives your low back pain via spinal unloading, which reduces the pressure applied to your lower spine while you are upright. Compared to other devices and treatments, which immobilize or severely restrict patient movement, Trekke’s soft, supple and “ambulatory” (mobile) design allows it to flex with your body offering comfortable, full body movement and active mobility.

Two weeks after the clinical study patients stopped using Trekke they continued to maintain an average 23.6% increase in mobility.

Movement is part of healing

Studies show that staying active helps alleviate back pain in the long run. If you’ve ever had a cast you know — as soon as you are immobilized, your muscles begin to shrink and lose strength. With your back, inactivity results in a loss of support from weakening torso muscles, which increases pain and delays rehabilitation. When your body believes it may experience pain, your muscles tighten, making the problem worse.

“…Government bodies and employers concentrate on things that do not work, [such as support] back belts, education, lifting devices [e.g. hoisting], workplace redesign and no-lift policies, and ignore the only known effective intervention [for low back pain] – exercise.”
Christopher Maher, Associate Professor of Physiotherapy, University of Sydney¹⁴

All other back pain treatments require you to lie down — which works as long as you are lying down. But lack of movement only ends up making matters worse and delaying recovery in the long run. In fact, bed rest of more than two or three days actually prolongs recovery!¹⁵ You need to relieve your low back pain AND regain a full range of motion to begin the healing process.

Trekke Lumbar Lift is like no other product in the world. Unlike traction or spinal decompression, Trekke uses spinal unloading to allow freedom of movement at the same time it addresses your back pain. And, where traditional “support” devices bind and restrict movement, Trekke alleviates pain while promoting the healthy use of your back muscles, so they can relax and regain strength. Naturally.

A healthy, safe alternative, without side effects

Best of all, Trekke is a completely natural approach to pain relief. No more reliance on drugs that begin to lose their effectiveness, no more waiting for invasive surgery that may or may not work.
