Testimonials

Zero Gravity Lift Chair
Mae Goff
Shelby Township, MI
Relax The Back of Shelby Township is great because of the wonderful people that work there. The chair that they helped my mother (Mae Goff) select has been a real blessing to her. It gave my mother a new way to enjoy her young 87+ years. The heat and massage features are truly enjoyed by my mother.
 
Thanks A Million

Purchased Human Touch® Manual Perfect Chair™ - PC-6
Pamela & John Kobylas
West Bloomfield, MI

I am a 60+ year old tennis player and golfer. Prior to getting my "perfect chair", I always (20 years)had a nagging pain in my lower back and once or twice a year I pulled my back where I could hardly walk for a few days. I feel it was a combination of poor posture when sitting at home and the twisting and concussion from tennis and golf. Once I started using the chair at home to read, watch TV and use my laptop, the pain gradually went away over a 3 to 4 month period and I have had neither of the problems since. Except for a month long vacation, where I did not have my chair. But a week at home and it was well again. I believe that by insuring good posture where I can control my environment, allows me to play all the golf and tennis my schedule can handle. Thanks, Relax the Back.

Sanyo Zero Gravity Massage Chair & Anti Gravity Chairs
Dennis Wylin
Macomb, MI

I am a 60 year old active working senior with lower back discomfort.  I purchased the following chairs from the Shelby Relax The Back Store.

(1) The Sanyo Zero Gravity Massage chair that I use on a daily basis. I don't know what to say other than it is truly wonderful. (2) PC095 Anti Gravity Chair. Prior to purchasing my anti gravity chair I wasn't able to sit and watch a hour long movie without squirming to get comfortable. Now I can sit for hours in complete comfort.  (3) We recently purchased the Zero Gravity Lift Chair for my 89 year old mother.  This was probably the best purchase that we ever made for her. Prior to this she had extreme difficulty getting in and out of her previous recliner.  She now literly lives in this chair comfortably.   Having my own business I am very critical of how business operate. I was very impressed with the service, professionalism, and knowledge I found at the Shelby Relax the Back Store.   I stongly recommend that you stop by thier store to check out the product line and meet them in person

Novus Plus Zero Gravity Recliner

Peter & his staff are EXCELLENT. This honestly is the BEST Relax the Back store I've ever been to! I've been to 5 different stores between MI, IL & WI - there is no one friendlier than Peter & his staff. I bought a zero gravity chair in WI while on a trip & had it delivered to MI. This was shortly before the Shelby Twp, MI store opened. Even though I didn't buy my chair at Peter's store he came to my house & serviced it personally when I had a problem with it. I've gone on to purchase pillows & cases, a desk chair & a few other items... Their service is outstanding! Simply the best!

Human Touch® Power Perfect Chair™ and PureRelax Mattress
Doug and Rachel Camper
Troy, Mi

Ever since my wife and I went to Relax the Back Shelby and purchased the zero gravity Human Touch recliner we have raced to the family room to be the first one in the chair.  A second chair is going to be purchased shortly.  This chair has been a great way for both of us to relax while watching television or working on our lap top.  I recommend this chair because once you sit in it, and recline it back to the "sweet spot", you will know that it is more than a chair for your room, but a stylish way to get therapy for your back after a long day.  (Go to the store and try a chair and you will find out what I mean about the sweet spot.)   More importantly was how knowledgeable and helpful everyone is.  The staff was very supportive and patient in helping my wife and me while we made our selection.  Their expertise, advice and friendly service led us to picking the perfect mattress to relieve shoulder pain that I constantly suffered from on my old mattress.  You won't go wrong with a Relax the Back product.

Thanks, Relax the Back.

Medical Professionals

MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS NATIONWIDE
REFER THEIR PATIENTS TO RELAX THE BACK FOR PRODUCTS TO RELIEVE BACK AND NECK PAIN

When you refer patients to Relax The Back, you can be confident that they will be served by a knowledgeable staff specially trained to properly fit them for the specific product needed to relieve their back or neck pain. However, most medical professionals simply refer their patients to Relax The Back to have us match the patient with appropriate products based your diagnosis and the patient’s lifestyle issues.


Discuss the diagnosis or symptoms

We talk to the patient about his / her diagnosis or specific back or neck pain symptoms. Our staff consultants are not clinicians, but are trained in basic spinal health and anatomy issues. When a patient says she has fibromyalgia, for instance, our employees understand what that means and how to match that person with products that address specific needs. We have products to help with the most common spinal health issues including ankylosing spondilitis, arthritis, degenerative disc disease, fibromyalgia, herniated discs, multiple sclerosis, nerve pressure/ pinched nerves, osteoporosis, pregnancy related back pain, sciatica, spinal cord injury, spinal stenosis, spondylosis, spondylolisthesis, sprains and strains and whiplash.

Discuss lifestyle issues
The spinal support needs of a person who spends each day at a computer are very different from someone who stands at an assembly line. We are trained to find spinal support products that are appropriate for each person’s workplace or lifestyle. We do not diagnose or offer medical treatment. Each Relax The Back employee goes through a basic training program when hired, followed by a more comprehensive spinal health training program on a variety of medical conditions, tests, and treatments. Only after successfully completing this training does the employee earn the title of “Spinal Health Product Consultant.”

Knowledgeable staff of Spinal Health Product Specialists

The expertise of Relax The Back employees lies in the special training they receive in spinal health and anatomy, blended with a thorough understanding of products and related therapeutic benefits. They know how to match your patients with the correct products based on their medical conditions and lifestyles.

Customized Fit
Most Relax The Back products are available in many sizes or with multiple adjustments. For example, cervical pillows are custom-fitted based on the person’s body type and sleep position. Office chairs have up to 11 adjustments for precise spinal alignment and positioning. Zero Gravity recliners can move into infinite positions for comfort, enhanced circulation, and pressure relief.

Effective spinal support products — not gadgets

Products go through a rigorous evaluation process before being approved for our stores. Relax The Back products must meet stringent ergonomic standards, and represent quality, comfort and durability.

Product selection – Not all products are appropriate for all patients. Clients are encouraged to seek advice from their health care providers if there is a concern about the effect of any product on their medical conditions.

Insurance
Relax The Back is a retail store, not a medical equipment company, and products may or may not be covered by third party payors. However, we are happy to provide documentation to assist patients with possible insurance reimbursement or as a medical expense for tax purposes. The products may also be purchased via most Flexible Spending or Medical Savings Accounts.

Confidentiality
Patients have the option of giving Relax The Back their name and address information for future mailings and special offers. These names are not shared with any other entity. Any communication with your office regarding referred patients will be handled confidentially.
