Back pain is part of everyday life for many people. Surprisingly, it tends to affect younger people in particular. The good news, however, is that more than 90 percent of all back pain is not caused by a serious illness. Targeted back exercises can help - for example with the training equipment and concepts from TOGU, the long-established company from Prien am Chiemsee. Specific exercises strengthen the back and prevent pain. And the best thing is: TOGU training equipment - made in Germany - is affordable for every budget.
Back pain is one of the most common complaints and is usually caused by a combination of different factors. Muscle tension as a result of stress, incorrect posture or overloading are just as much a part of it as herniated discs that press on surrounding nerves. Diseases such as osteoarthritis and poor ergonomics in the workplace or a lack of exercise also play a key role. Regular training strengthens the back muscles, promotes mobility and stabilizes the spine. It is crucial that the exercises are individually tailored and performed correctly.
Effective training for a healthy lumbar spine
The lumbar spine, the lower section of the spine, is the base of the torso and is subject to high levels of strain when walking upright. Irritations often occur in this area - from muscular pain to disc damage with neurological deficits. To counteract these complaints, it is important to train the lumbar spine. This has many benefits: stronger muscles, improved posture and increased strength and flexibility. TOGU has developed several products made of latex-free ruton for this purpose, which are available individually or as a set, including a training chart.
The Aero-Step® Pro is a versatile 2-in-1 training device with one smooth and one studded side. Thanks to the two-chamber air system, it is suitable for intensive leg axis training and promotes perception, stimulus processing and stability. The approximately 1000 nubs support massage effects and blood circulation. The Aero-Step® Pro is non-slip, easy to clean, stackable and can be used standing or lying down. It is AGR-certified and comes with an air pump and exercise instructions.
The Bodybone® is a compact training and massage device. It specifically relieves tension in the spine without straining it. Ideal for trigger points, foot reflex zones and as an additional weight during training.
The Dynair® Ball Cushion ® Cardo® is an air-filled training partner with one nubbed and one smooth side. It relieves pressure on the back, strengthens the deep muscles and promotes posture, concentration and coordination - all while sitting.
Special back exercises for greater well-being
With its complex structure of back muscles and spine, the back literally forms the backbone of every human being. Pain in this area is widespread. In most cases, it is harmless and easily treatable. With targeted back exercises and the right training equipment, the muscles can be strengthened, complaints prevented and back health improved in the long term.
In addition to the Aero-Step® Pro, the Dynair® Ball Cushion ® Cardo® is also included in the back set. In addition to these two training devices, the actisan® medicine ball weighing 500 grams is also part of the set. It is latex-free and made of high-quality Ruton with Actisan, a hygienic, antimicrobial and self-disinfecting material. The ion-based Actisan remains effective for five years and is harmless to humans. Thanks in particular to its segmented surface, strong bounce, a load capacity of up to 150 kilograms and a needle valve for air inflation, the medicine ball is suitable for strength and coordination exercises - even in group training sessions.
The “Back fit at work” concept
With the “Back Fit Working” concept, TOGU offers an effective solution for more exercise and back health. With easy-to-integrate training equipment and short, targeted exercises, you can strengthen your back muscles, prevent tension and improve your well-being in everyday life - without a great deal of effort, but with a lasting effect.
The popular Brasil® deep muscle trainers, which are made from 100% recyclable material, are available in a practical set of two. With a weight of 200 grams each, they activate the deep muscles with targeted shaking movements - this ensures effective training and supports a healthy, strong back.
Another all-rounder from TOGU is the Dynair® Wedge Ball Cushion® Premium, which combines the advantages of a wedge cushion with those of an air-filled balance cushion. It supports an upright, active sitting posture, strengthens the back, abdominal and pelvic floor muscles and promotes blood circulation - perfect for long periods of sitting in the office or at school. The latex-free seat cushion can support up to 200 kilograms.
The Redondo® Ball is also a versatile, air-filled training ball made of ruton. It is ideal for Pilates, pelvic floor and abdominal muscle training, neck massage and deep relaxation. Thanks to the adjustable air filling, the latex-free, recyclable ball can be used flexibly as a support cushion or training device and can withstand a maximum weight of up to 120 kilograms.
The Jumper® Pro is a multifunctional training device for balance, coordination and strength exercises. The air-filled half ball made of robust ruton sits on a non-slip, glass-fiber reinforced base plate and can withstand loads of up to 200 kilograms. A new feature is the Jumper® Pro Plate, which creates a flat standing surface on the back - for physiologically correct foot positions and even more training variety. The latex-free product is recyclable, odorless and can be individually adjusted using a valve.
