{"product_id":"the-arc-multi-level-back-stretcher","title":"The Arc Multi-Level Back Stretcher","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou stand up from the desk and your lower back has decided it is still sitting down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Arc is a moulded stretching arch you lie back over for a few minutes at a time. Your own body weight does the work, opening out the curve that a day in a chair, a van seat or a delivery round slowly flattens. No batteries, no app, nothing to plug in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree levels, so you start where you are\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLevel one is the gentlest setting, an arch of about 7 cm, and it is where most people should begin. Level two takes it to roughly 9 cm and level three to about 11 cm as you get used to the position. Changing gear is a matter of unclipping the narrow end and dropping it into a different notch on the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTen minutes, wherever you are\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a rug, on a mat, on the bed, or on the office floor with the door shut. It also sits behind your lower back on the sofa, against an office chair, or against a car seat on a long drive, and you can rest your feet over the arch to stretch calves and hamstrings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow people use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLie back over it with your knees bent for the lower back. Move it up under the shoulder blades to open out the upper back after a long drive. Start at two or three minutes on level one and build up from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is made of\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA moulded ABS frame with acupressure nodes across the surface and a removable ridged foam pad that clips down the centre, so the raised strip runs either side of your spine rather than pressing on it. Three height settings. No batteries and nothing electronic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePutting it together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt arrives flat in four parts and clips together in about a minute, with no tools. Press the foam pad onto the board, clamp the wide end of the board into the base, then choose your level and clip the narrow end into that notch. Changing level later takes seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn honest note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Arc is a stretching aid for everyday stiffness. It is not a medical device and it is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any condition. If you have a diagnosed back problem, osteoporosis, if you are pregnant, or if you have had spinal surgery, speak to your doctor or physiotherapist before using it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions people ask before they buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI have tried everything.\u003c\/strong\u003e You probably have. The Arc is not a treatment. It is the few minutes of extension your day never gives you, at home, on your own floor, with nothing to book and nobody watching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it just moulded plastic?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is simple on purpose. Simple is what you will still be using in March. If it isn't, send it back inside thirty days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it hurt?\u003c\/strong\u003e Level one is gentle and that is where to start. Move up to level two only when level one feels easy. If anything sharpens rather than eases, come off it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe for my condition?\u003c\/strong\u003e If you have been diagnosed with a spinal condition, if you are pregnant, or if you have had surgery on your back, check with your doctor or physiotherapist before you use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eDelivery and returns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eFree delivery across the UK and Europe. Thirty days to send it back, including if you simply change your mind.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sedessa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54881594310997,"sku":null,"price":49.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/5574\/1269\/files\/seedream-4.5_Remove_the_woman_and_all_the_orange_arrows_from_the_lower_half_of_the_image_comp-0.jpg?v=1788822306","url":"https:\/\/sedessa.com\/products\/the-arc-multi-level-back-stretcher","provider":"Sedessa","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
