Whether it’s your passion or a chore, spring is just around the corner and your garden is calling out for some love. However, especially after a winter of inactivity, gardening can place considerable stress on the ligaments and joints in the lower lumbar spine.
Health tech startup PERCKO, the specialist in back pain relief, is here to lend a hand. The Lyne HOME, an easy-to-slip-on jacket, will be your partner in crime as you get down and dirty in the flowerbeds. Its elasticated tensor technology, developed with physiotherapists and osteopaths, will act as a subtle reminder to mind your position and to reset and rest your back periodically.
| Why does gardening make your back hurt? The growing season calls for lots of digging, prolonged periods bent over, and lifting awkward objects. All these activities place a lot of stress on the lower lumbar spine, causing it to become sore if not cared for properly. Although not always strenuous, the movements you make are unlike those carried out at other times of the year and your body needs time to adjust. | ||
| How the Lyne HOME works The Lyne HOME jacket is equipped with a system of elasticated tensors and uses the principle of self-correction to naturally encourage the wearer to reset and engage their posture. What that means in practice is that when you put your back under excessive stress, you feel a counteraction from the jacket which acts as a subtle reminder to reset your position. If you absently mindedly reach a little too far for that last scoop of potting soil, the Lyne HOME will keep you in check. It was designed for practicality around the home and garden, so it slips on over your clothing and is completely adjustable to fit all chest sizes thanks to a Velcro belt. | ||
