About

Chronic low back pain is one of the main causes of pain, dysfunction and disability worldwide. In Spain, 93% of the population has had back pain in the last year, and it is estimated that 50% of sick leave is due to this cause. This entails a great socioeconomic burden, since it is the main cause of absenteeism from work and the excessive use of therapeutic services.

Musculoskeletal disorders are related and associated with psychologically stressful jobs, that is, with psychosocial factors at work and related work stressors, such as time pressure, low job control, poor social or supervisor support, effort-reward imbalance or work-life conflict. Clinical management of both situations encompasses a variety of approaches, including medication and early physical exercise, which have shown promise in reducing pain and improving function.

A novel approach to address these problems is the use of Xiaxi, a patented postural hammock with multiple angles of inclination that promotes relaxation and elongation of the posterior chain, thereby improving overall well-being. Combining the use of Xiaxi with a comprehensive program of strengthening, stretching and relaxation exercises could offer benefits in the prevention and reduction of back pain.
