back pain
Back pain is a broad term as the back constitutes so much of our skeletal make-up, but typically the term back pain refers to the ‘lower back’; however, back pain can be felt anywhere along the spine from your skull down to your pelvis.

USING FLOW NANO
Using the nano, you can apply the heating element to your back to provide heat relief. And you can look to use the percussion head to provide self-massage to the muscles around the area.
HOW DOES IT HELP?
The NHS recommends the application of heat; it stimulates the nervous system, particularly the thermoreceptors, which ‘may’ block the signals/ sensation of pain to the brain. Additionally, heat increases blood flow to the area, which provides an increased rate of oxygen & nutrient delivery to muscles in that area, contributing to the muscles becoming more relaxed. Thus taking away any tension that the muscles may bring to the area.
The application of percussion helps to further relax the muscles around the back by targeting the muscle around the affected area playing caution to avoid bony areas.
