Its always so pleasing when we can help nurses to stay active after being injured from helping patients.
It's a big occupational hazard and this nurse is one of many hundreds of nurses the Mobiliser has helped.
C R Kempster RGNI first tried the Mobiliser at Windsor 5 years ago.
I then hired one to get my back in stronger condition for a horseback African Safari and found it extremely helpful.
I have now purchased one as I am an older nurse and ex-horserider with a degenerative spine condition.
I could not recommend this machine highly enough.It keeps me mobile and still dancing ballroom and Ceroc at nearly 70 years of age and I am still able to practice 12 hour nursing shifts in A/E Dept.
At 76 Judith feels the Mobiliser has kept her phsically young since 2008. This entry conveys just part of the enegetic enthusiasm Judith brough to our stand at Badminton.
Judith SadlerI bought my Mobiliser in 2008. It has made a huge difference to my quality of life.
I use it daily or sometimes twice a day if I am particularly stiff and I am then able to get on with my life - walking 5 miles, gardening and until very recently riding and competing my horse. I am 76 years of age and thanks to the Mobiliser able to do most things that people a good few years younger are able to do.
This skilled Physio uses a Mobiliser in his practice and encourages home users. He is one of many hundreds of practitioners who do the same.
AndyI bought the Mobiliser after hiring one on trial.
I have found this really useful for patients to mobilise the thoracic spine in between treatment sessions to maintain and improve the spinal mobility.Great product and service!
NB. Whilst these comments are from long term owners, with years of experience, we ought to stress that many users get just what they need from one or two months of home sessions.
Vicky Evans, WiltshireRevolutionary - this has changed my life...
I couldn't manage without it. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.
Pain relief and recovery are two reasons why the Mobiliser is valued.
Slipped a disc 4 weeks prior to trying a Mobiliser and had my first pain-free/medication-free night's sleep for 4 weeks - came back and bought one!!
it's such a pleasure to help those with degenerating spines.
Karen TheobaldRoyal Windsor Horse Show
I have had a Mobiliser for a few years now as I have suffered with degenerative disc disease in my back. I have found that my Mobiliser has been invaluable and something that is not only a luxury item but also a daily use item. My whole family have also enjoyed and benefited from using it. I don't think I could be without it now, it not only benefits me but also helps with my mobility in my back and is incredibly relaxing.
It's common for those sufferring from M.E. and Fibromyalgia to obesrve and report significant improvements.
AmandaI have had a Mobiliser for about 4 years and suffer from ME. It is very good for relaxation and also helps my back issues - old break - using it daily I don't have any back issues.
I was skeptical that it would help but it definitely has helped me and my energy levels.
I bought a second hand one and have had no issues.
In the Military trials all the hip issues cleared up. As they have for this user.
Richard WakehamBadminton 2022
I have had the Mobiliser since trying it at Rockingham Horse Trials some years ago.
As a farmer & event rider I have always suffered with leg & back pain but no longer!
I love it.
Many find it painful at first! But, as with this user, most find their spine improves over the first month after which the can cese usage or go on to deeper benefits.
PBadminton 2022
I have had the Mobiliser for 9 years and STILL use it daily. It has proved to be worth every penny. It comes on holiday with me every year. LOVE IT!!
On my first trial - at Burleigh, you could have pulled me out of the tent roof it was so painful, I now use it without any pad, with 2 weights (plus an extra home made weight) and I'm addicted. Sends me to sleep every time.
No particular problems for this couple...like many other couples they just love it.
Diana & Charlie GospageThornbridge Manor
FatherswellHad one for five years
Absolutely brilliant
The Mobiliser's reliabilty is amazing, owners can reasonably expect 20 plus years, and that makes the cost of ownership per year very affordable.
Kate EveOne of the best investments I've ever made. After nine years, I - and particularly my back - still love it. Our riders love it too.
Many use a Mobiliser before ops to recover more quickly, and many use one to be able to carry out a favourite hobby or sport despite ageing.
Guil KilpatrickI got my Mobiliser after trying at the Nationals - I was struggling terribly with my hips, and the Mobiliser kept me going much longer until I could have my hip replacements.
It is such a vital piece of kit, I can't believe the difference each morning after using it.
I also got a human tool - ad has saved my back when WFH!
Many use one to be able to carry out a favourite hobby or sport despite ageing.
Kerry Oldfield - NorfolkI have had a Mobiliser for 5 years and used nearly every day - just wonderful & has kept me going with serious back issues. Still riding, which is what it is all about!!
The Mobiliser is usually shared by a household or a dept.
Di PigottI bought the Mobiliser bed four years ago and have found it very beneficial for various back problems - husband, son & myself all use it and used regularly it definitely helps stiffness and pain.
Also my son (4* eventer) takes it to 3 day events to use numerous times during the event - to help prevent and relieve stiffness.
So exciting to have helped keep so many people able to work and play after injuries.
JamesBadminton 2022,
I purchased my Mobiliser in 2019 after suffering a serious spinal injury at work. Because of the increased flexibility this system allows me, I have regained my ability to work & avoided surgery altogether. I would not hesitate to recommend this system.
Another example of The Mobiliser helping recovery for car accidents and decreasing ageing after a military career.
Jeanette & JeremyBadminton 2022
We have owned the Mobiliser for nearly five years and wouldn't be without it now.
Initially for Jeanette's injuries following a car accident and the savings in physio treatments mean that it more than paid for itself!
As a former soldier with more damaged bits than I care to count it's an essential piece of kit which had me standing an inch taller.
Highly recommended
Perhaps the most exciting measure is that most users are able to stop or greatly reduce taking painkillers.
Lucy EI have had a Mobiliser now for around 18 months and it has enabled me to completely stop my regular pain meds with daily use. I injured my back 20 years ago, and with general aging and degradation, the pain was significant. I had a Mobiliser on hire initially, and it was a game changer! I ordered one a few years later.
Whilst this user decided to buy after hiring we have many who get great benefit form one or two months and decide to rent once a year or so.
Linda CarleRoyal Windsor Horseshow 2020
I rented one of the Mobilisers a few years ago for one month. I loved it so much that I extended the rental for a further 2 months.
At this point I was completely sold and couldn't bear to give it back! So I bought one.
I have now had it for about 4-5 yrs and wouldn't be without it.
Many users each week are kind enough to thank us on behalf of all back pain sufferers. Very generous of them.
Jocelyn MajorI purchased my Mobiliser in 2018 and can honestly say it is used every day. I know when I need to lie on it - my body tells me - but as soon as I stand up after my session I feel like a new me!
Wouldn't be without it - thank you on behalf of all back pain sufferers.
It's so wonderful to hear that the Mobiliser has been a part of her family's routine for over six years. Knowing it provides such brilliant and lasting results for her back, and that she and her daughter use it every day, shows how much a Mobiliser can help a family in the long term.
JulieMy daughter and myself bought a mobiliser around 6 or 7 years ago. First on one month Hire and we were both converted to a purchase. I and my daughter use it every day and the results on my back are brilliant. Thanks very much and best wishes for the future business.
It's wonderful to know that what started as a solution for back pain has now become a go-to for easing aches, migraines, and even helping with sleep.
MaxineHad a mobiliser for many years. Bought for my husband who had a bad back. I use it now to ease aches, migraines, it helps with sleep. We love it!
What an incredible journey! Your dedication is a testament to how the right tools can help you achieve your goals, and we are so proud that the Mobiliser played a part in getting you back to doing what you love.
Following hospitalisation in intensive care after a rotational fall hunting and doubting I'd ever ride again and with the help of the Backinaction mobiliser I'm still hunting four days a week 8 years later.
It is our goal to help people live more comfortably, and it's rewarding to know the Mobiliser continues to be an invaluable tool in this persons journey.
I bought a mobiliser roughly 4 years ago, it prolonged the timing of spinal surgery, which was necessary for prolapsed disc. I still find the mobiliser invaluable and it's one of my all-time favourite purchases! Thank you!
Simple and powerful feedback!
Bought a mobiliser years ago, Magic bit of kit!
This journey highlights just how quickly the Mobiliser can provide significant relief from a stiff back and improve your overall well-being.
Tony HigginsI started 'the treatment' with a very stiff back causing walking difficulties. I finished the 15-minute trial and walked away with no discomfort. In addition, I had the best night sleep for ages and woke up with no back problems at all. All after a 15-minute session yesterday. Thank you. Tony Higgins.
It is so rewarding to hear how the Mobiliser has made a difference in your riding, especially in something as specific as your sitting trot. It's a true joy to know that you can now feel your horse more closely and that your chronic back pain is already disappearing.
Emily FrohlichI have been using the mobiliser for 2 weeks so far and from the first session noticed a difference in my riding, especially sitting trot. I can feel the horse more closely and my chronic back pain is disappearing
Thank you for sharing your incredible and inspiring story with us. It's truly moving to know that the Mobiliser not only helped you recover from a decade of whiplash pain but that it also played a crucial role in protecting you from serious injury. Your journey is a powerful testament to the long-term, life-changing benefits of regular use.
I bought a mobiliser almost 10 years ago, having suffered with whiplash injury for over a decade. It transformed my life, and I am convinced using it regularly helped to protect me from a serious injury after a horrendous horse riding accident when thrown and landed on top of a 4 x 2 fence. I wouldn't be without it! Thank you to everyone at Backinaction!
We're so pleased to hear that the Mobiliser, introduced to you by a friend, has provided such fantastic release from your lower back pain. Your journey is a perfect example of how regular use can help you stay limber and improve your horse riding, and we're always here to support you along the way.
Liz BarnbyI bought my mobiliser just after Christmas having been introduced to one by a friend. Fantastic release from lower back pain and now regular use means I stay limber and able to ride my horse more effectively. Brilliant follow-up support too from Bristol. Thank you.
This feedback is a powerful testament to the lasting benefits and durability of our product.
RichardOwned one for years, works wonders! Purchased in 2011
It's so rewarding to know that the Mobiliser is already benefiting your family and is a key part of your own personal journey. We're happy that you've found a tool that can maintain your back mobility and fitness as you prepare for and undergo rehabilitation.
Trisha GPBought a mobiliser last year for myself but also to consider using it with my patients. It is a work in progress but meantime my family seem to be benefitting. I potentially face a few operations on my knee and ankle and I'm happy and knowing that the mobilisable maintain my back mobility and fitness whilst I undergo rehab.
It's so rewarding to know that after going through multiple spinal injections and even a discectomy, you found the Mobiliser and that it has helped you in a way that nothing else could.
After multiple spinal injections and a discectomy I found the mobiliser! Always recommend them to anyone, nothing else can do what it can. Go for it!
It's so important that riders prioritize their own physical health, and we are thrilled to hear that the Mobiliser is an absolute must for keeping you supple and straight. Your journey highlights how looking after yourself directly benefits your horse's performance and comfort.
Emma CastleAs a Dressage/Event rider, we have found the mobiliser and absolute must to keep us supple for our horses. Too many people look after their horses and then sit on them crooked. This machine helps keep the rider straight to get the most out of the horse.
We are thrilled to know that even with sporadic use, the Mobiliser never fails to loosen your back. Your story is a great reminder for prospective customers that the Mobiliser truly works, even for those who only use it when they need it most.
Jeremy SamuelsHad a mobiliser for a couple of years. Stupidly, I only use it when my back is already tight. The mobiliser always loosens it off, as if by magic. I've used many massage units, this one really does work.
We are so pleased that after a period of non-use, you returned to the Mobiliser and found it could still cure your back issues. Your story is a great reminder for prospective customers that even after years, the Mobiliser remains a powerful and effective tool for lasting relief.
Dave HealeyI tried a mobiliser here a few years ago and was prompted to buy one. It's just done wonders for my back and after a period of lack of use I'm now using it daily to cure my back issues. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
It is so rewarding to hear from long-term customers like you! Your review is a testament to the lasting benefits and durability of our product.
PaulI bought one 6 or 7 years ago and I still use it. It's absolutely brilliant
What an incredibly powerful and inspiring story! We are so humbled to know that the Mobiliser has been a key part of your journey, helping you to stop using opiates after a crush injury and enabling you to not only recover but to become an ultramarathon runner.
Gill DaviesI have had my mobiliser for about 12 years, having had a crush injury from a horse fall. The mobiliser has helped me stop using medications. I was on opiates for six years. I'm now running ultramarathons. Really recommend Back in Action.
This journey highlights how the Mobiliser can help you relax tight muscles after a long day and get a great night's sleep.
EmmaWe bought a mobiliser last year at the Royal Windsor show and it is the best thing ever. I sleep really well after using it and it's really good at releasing and relaxing tight muscles after a hard day.
Another wonderful testament to the lasting value and fantastic results of our product.
RuthThis is the best thing I've ever bought! I bought one about 10 years ago and it's fantastic. I would recommend.
It's fantastic to know that the Mobiliser you purchased 4 years ago has become a reliable part of your routine. Your story is a great example of how it can be used for both regular maintenance and for tackling more intense issues whenever they arise.
DonnaBought 4 years ago, use weekly as maintenance and more regularly for intense issues. It's always set up in the spare room, love it!
Your journey from skepticism to success is a true testament to the life-changing benefits of the Mobiliser.
NikiI would just like to say how the Back mobiliser has changed my life. Unable to canter, jump or even changed diagonals and was very sceptical, but had one on trial and now six years down the line, I'm still riding youngsters. The mobiliser is in the spare room and used as and when I need it. Amazing, thank you!
Your journey highlights how the Mobiliser is not just for pain relief but also for ongoing well-being, especially when it comes to recovering from injury and evening out spinal mobility.
Yvonne RogersThe back mobiliser has been a fundamental part of my fitness and flexibility regime, especially valuable when recovering from injury. It has really helped even out my spinal mobility.
Short and powerful feedback
JonAmazing, very therapeutic and relaxing
This story highlights how the Mobiliser can be a powerful adjunct for patient care, providing relief between visits and ultimately becoming a tool that your patients trust enough to purchase for themselves.
LizThe mobiliser is one of the best additions to the clinic I ever purchased. Patients use it between visits and beyond as they often go on to buy one for themselves. Offering the mobiliser as an adjunct in the chiropractic clinic was a win-win for me and my patients.
It's incredibly rewarding to hear that the Mobiliser has not only become a "happy place" for you at the end of the day but is also an invaluable resource you use to support your patients' spinal health. Your story perfectly shows how the Mobiliser can be a tool for both professional practice and personal well-being.
Dr Susan Godwin. D CI have been using the mobiliser for 15 years now both at home and in my clinic. Back in Action is a family run business and honest and supportive with the integrity that befits the chiropractic profession. When I lay on my Mobi, it is one of my happy places. It's an end of the day stretch out and restore without any effort. That said I often take that 15 minutes to meditate. In my practice, I introduce the mobiliser to most patients (contra-indications considered). It's a great resource and some patients by their own as part of their everyday self-care and other patients pop in to lay on the mobiliser as and when they feel the need. (fee applicable) My whole family and friends use my mobi and several have bought their own. It's a great addition to daily spinal health routines. I can't recommend it enough!
It's so inspiring to hear that the Mobiliser has not only been a benefit to you for over a decade but has also provided such significant relief to your patients with lung and thoracic issues. Your insight is a testament to the diverse and far-reaching benefits of the Mobiliser.
Hilary, ChiropractorI have owned a mobiliser for 10+ years. It has been such a benefit to my patients and myself. When I first started using it, I noticed how much better my breathing was, with better movement in the thoracic region. I've used this for patients with lung problems who have been really benefiting from using it on a regular basis. If you have any patients who are trades people, use it! It's great.
It's truly inspiring to hear that your Mobiliser has become a well-known resource in your community, providing a way for both you and your neighbors to destress and relax after a long day. Your story highlights how this unique tool can lift and mobilize the entire spine, and how powerful regular use can be.
I have owned a mobiliser for over 10 years. It is so useful for me and my patients as a general relaxant and destresser. I use it after a hard work day. It is also well known in our village and neighbours come and just lay on it to destress. Regular use really benefits and it is the only way I have come across that can really lift and mobilise the sacrum and all of the spine.
For Melanie, the Mobiliser is not just about avoiding surgery; it's about helping her ride and work with greater mobility and less pain, highlighting its value for both personal and professional use.
Melanie Saville, ChiropractorMy interest in the mobiliser started after I talked to a friend, who said it was the main reason that he had avoided back surgery. I use mine regularly and it is an integral part of my chiropractic clinic too. It helps me to work and ride with better mobility and much less pain.
Peter and Diane's review is a testament to the Mobiliser's incredible longevity. After 18 years, it's still helping them, with Peter finding it especially useful for restoring mobility after a round of golf. Their story shows that the Mobiliser is not just a temporary fix but a reliable and enduring tool for well-being.
Peter and DianeWe bought a mobiliser about 18 years ago. It is still going strong after all this time. As a golfer it helps get my mobility back after a round. Wouldn't be without it! Great product.
It's truly incredible to hear how the Mobiliser has been a crucial part of your ongoing recovery after a broken pelvis, helping you to get back in the saddle and continue riding.
M. P. PothecaryThe mobiliser is amazing. After a broken pelvis this has helped me so much on an ongoing program to keep riding. Every riders dream machine!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! It is so rewarding to know that a recent spondylosis diagnosis led you to the Mobiliser and that it has already relieved your discomfort, improved your sleep, and made you more confident.
Angie, CambridgeshireI am so happy I invested in a mobiliser. Having seen them at various horse events for a couple of years, I eventually had a go at Burleigh. A recent diagnosis of spondylosis made me aware of how important spinal core is. The mobiliser has relieved my discomfort, improved my sleep and left me more mobile and confident to move! Worth every penny, do it! you will not regret it. The mobiliser is an investment in your future spinal health!
It's truly rewarding to hear that the Mobiliser has become an invaluable part of your life and that you haven't needed to see a chiropractor or get a massage since you got it. Your story is a great testament to how the Mobiliser can become your personal, at-home solution for long-term spinal health.
SheilaI absolutely love my mobiliser. I wouldn't be without it now. I haven't seen a chiropractor or had a massage since I had my mobiliser. Would highly recommend!!
It's truly amazing to hear how the Mobiliser has made an immense difference, providing a solution for back problems you've had for over 30 years. Your journey shows how the Mobiliser can save you time and money, and how initial discomfort can turn into a comfortable and enjoyable session that helps you stay mobile.
CarolThe mobiliser has made an immense difference to my life. I've had back problems for over 30 years and have seen a chiropractor weekly up to buying this product. I'm now much more mobile and it has saved me time and money as I visit the chiropractor rarely now. It was quite uncomfortable to begin with, but now I can use it with ease and enjoy my sessions using it.
It's truly humbling to hear how the Mobiliser has been a key part of your journey, helping you to maintain your career and continue riding your horse even with an ankylosing spondylitis diagnosis.
JillAfter years of back pain and remaining on painkillers and doing all my physio exercises, I thought I would add a mobiliser after taking one on hire. I ended up buying one and it has really helped. That was back in 2019 and last year I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. My consultant was amazed that it had taken so long to diagnose me. On the physio course I attended (I am military) my course colleagues couldn't believe my range of movement. I am still on painkillers, especially during a flareup, but the mobilisers kept me both in my job and riding my horse. If you have a back problem, I really recommend the mobiliser. It must be good as my medical partner now uses it for his bad back!!
It's so rewarding to hear that your journey, which started at Badminton a few years ago, has led you to a place where you "couldn’t live without" your Mobiliser.
We bought the mobiliser at Badminton a few years ago and we use it every day, after years of back pain, I now couldn’t live without it.
Even just a few times a week, can provide amazing results and make a lasting difference.
I bought mine at Badminton a few years back. It’s amazing!!! Mine is in my spare room and I use mine 3 to 4 times a week. Best purchase ever!!!!
This customer's story shows how it can be a huge help in maintaining an active lifestyle, allowing them to continue enjoying activities like golf and walking well into their eighties.
Guy.12 years ago, aged 70, I bought a back mobiliser at the Dressage championships at Stoneleigh. Now 82 years I’m still a very active golfer and walker – it’s been a huge help when needed. Thank you mobiliser!
Their story shows how the Mobiliser is not just a solution for immediate pain but a crucial part of their recovery, allowing them to keep going even during the toughest times.
Trish and Mike Ryan, Ireland.We got the mobiliser approximately 15 years ago, introduced to us by Sandy Phillipps. As event riders, we get sore muscles and back pain. We use the mobiliser when we are in trouble and it keeps us going and helps us recover. Thank you for all the help.
Judy and Tim's review is an incredibly powerful endorsement. As retired spinal therapists, they immediately recognized the long-term benefits of the Mobiliser for keeping the spine aligned and free from locked facet joints.
Judy & Tim Candy (retired spinal therapists)Bought our mobiliser over 20 years ago. As spinal therapists, we recognised the benefits of keeping the spine in line and free from locked facet joints. It has been a godsend and saved us so much in visits to chiropractors. If our backs feel tight, the mobiliser sorts us out 9 times out of 10. We acquired it as an investment for our older years and it has paid off in spades. Get one.. you won’t regret it!!
This experience shows what The Mobiliser is all about, making a massive, day-to-day difference in reducing back pain, even when other treatments have failed.
Jen Anderson MannI’ve been coming to see Back in Action for several years – I love the ethos and the staff who really care. I’ve suffered from chronic back pain for almost 30 years. I’ve seen a multitude of specialist doctors and practitioners, none of whom have made a lasting reduction to my pain. I bought a mobiliser about four months ago and it’s the single most effective tool I’ve ever tried for reducing my back pain. It’s made a massive difference to the amount of pain I live with on a day-to-day basis.
Vicki's review beautifully illustrates the Mobiliser's long-term benefit for equestrians. After ten years of consistent use, it remains a go-to tool for keeping her supple for riding.
Vicki WilsonI bought the Backinaction mobiliser 10 years ago, to keep myself supple for riding, use it 3 to 4 days a week. Definitely find it very useful.
This review highlights a key part of the Mobiliser's journey: adapting the experience for optimal results. It shows how with time and continued use, a customer was able to go from initial discomfort and bruising to being supple, pain-free, and even able to use the bed without the pad.
When I first started using the mobiliser without the pad, my back used to bruise but now with the aid of Back in Action, I’m more supple and can use the bed without the pad and I’m pain and bruise free. From a very happy customer.
A fantastic endorsement from a satisfied customer.
LynneAbsolutely love this!! Use it daily and it helps with my disc issues. My best Burleigh purchase ever.
A daily ritual that not only helps keep their backs pain-free and supple but also feels very relaxing. Their story shows that the Mobiliser is a worthwhile investment that maintains its quality and effectiveness over time.
Katie HinchWe can’t recommend the mobiliser enough. We use it most days and find it very relaxing as well as it’s really helping keep our backs pain free and supple. It’s well worth the investment. Two very happy clients. Purchased at Burghley in 2022 and it’s still like new!
Annabelle’s story shows the Mobiliser’s enduring value as a regular part of a wellness routine. After seven years of consistent use, it's still a trusted tool for her, providing relief for her ongoing upper and lower back issues.
Annabelle HartI bought my mobiliser here about 7 years ago and still use it today. I have ongoing upper and lower back issues and this certainly helps as much as a visit to a chiropractor and feels good too. Thoroughly recommend.
