Forced to leave the Royal Marines as a result of a serious and debilitating back problem, Neil Summers now leads a fully active life and has never felt or looked better thanks to the Soft & Gentle Backstretcher.

"I had always led a very active life. I was diagnosed as suffering a debilitating back problem. The constant nagging aches became so painful I couldn't even sleep, let alone exercise. I was discharged from the Royal Marines and urgently set about looking for some 'miracle cure' to the back pain that ended my career so prematurely and was turning me into an invalid. I refused to accept that nothing could be done. I learnt that whilst there are many different causes, experts agreed that simply stretching the spine could relieve even the most chronic back pain.

I set about designing a product that would enable anyone of any age to stretch his or her spine by simply lying down and relaxing. Like all great ideas it is remarkably simple. It has won awards for The Great British Invention of the Year and The Best New Healthcare and Medical Product but most importantly it has helped thousands of people around the world treat and end their own back pain".

As the Back Coach Neil has helped national heads of state, politicians, sports stars and a host of American, Japanese and European celebrities. He is now Mr Motivator's Back Specialist as seen on Health Channel TV.
