This month’s newsletter is about the back, beach, and a playhouse. What do they have in common? Nothing, really, except that they are all good quality products for different types of people.

First, let’s talk about the back. At any given time there are about 30% of Americans who suffer some sort of back pain, or about 31,000,000 people. Thankfully, there are many ways to treat this pain. One of the more effective ways to support the back muscles and spine is with a non-invasive alternative to pain medicine back belt for both acute and chronic back pain. While a typical back belt is helpful, a Back-A-Line Dynamic Back Support can be more helpful by providing the extra synergistic support that is needed. Back-A-Line is more than a “back belt”, it is designed to work at the proprioceptive level of our bodies, which is training our body at a sub-conscious level for the best way to function when standing up, lifting, bending, sitting down, twisting and reaching.

Back-A-Line is able to do this by contributing a curved, firm lumbar pad that helps to facilitate a biomechanical response that helps provide stability to the lower lumbar muscles in the back. When a curved and firm surface is pressed against the back, it helps create a dynamic of proprioceptive feedback, allowing the tissues of the back to reorient their original positioning, helping to maintain good body mechanics. A person can also have BIOflex® therapeutic magnets included with a Back-A-Line back belt to provide a unique magnetic field configuration to the affected area of the back.

Back-A-Line, either with or without the BIOflex concentric circle magnets, is sold to many different types of agencies and industries, including food and grocery, healthcare, hospitality, air transport, trucking, manufacturing, and the U.S. Army.

Another way to ease whatever ails you is to spend a day at the beach. But what if a person who has trouble walking without support would like to feel the waves and sand between their toes but is not able to maneuver along the sand? If they use the Aluminum Beach Walker by Deming Designs, he or she can now stroll along the beach with comfort, security and ease. A conventional wheeled walker works fine on smooth surfaces but in this case, a wheeled walker with BIG wheels is needed to assist the user to walk on the sand. With its almost 12 inch Polycarbonate “Wheeleez Wheels’ in the front of the walker and the 8 ½ inch rear “Wheeleez Wheels”, this walker will go over almost any terrain the user can walk. Weighing only 28 pounds, this non-rusting, powder-coated aluminum walker has a weight capacity of 250 pounds and a width clearance of 33 inches. So go ahead and spend a day on the beach because now you can, but don’t forget the sunblock lotion!

Talking about getting outside, it seems that many children just don’t play outside anymore, wanting more often to stay in the house. Well, now kids can stay in the house while playing outside with this Scenic Playhouse by Backyard Discovery. This child-sized wooden playhouse is great for hours of imaginative outdoor play for children. Looking just like a real house with its scalloped roofline, wide open side windows and sunburst end gables, this playhouse can be fun for the whole family. The front of the house has a half door and white-framed windows on either side, with flower pot shelves along with cut-outs for standard flower pots. Also, on one side of the playhouse there is a snack window and an integrated bench next to it for entertaining picnic meals. Inside the playhouse are fun things such as a play sink, stove, and of course, a cordless telephone.

This 100% cedar playhouse is panelized for quick and easy assembly and the overall dimensions are 5’ 4” wide, 4’ 7” high, with a 4’ 2” depth. It comes with a one year parts warranty and a five year warranty for wood rot or decay.

To view more products from Backyard Discovery, please go to the Backyard Discovery page or the Pediatric Recreation Products page.

All of us at Rehabmart hope you and your families have a wonderfully enjoyable and safe June, and don’t forget to wash the sand off of your feet before you go back into the house.
