Already in the early 1990s, the renowned physician Dr. Günther Neumeyer from Hamburg supported the thesis that healthy products for the back are an important component in the prevention and treatment of back pain. At present, this thesis is undisputed and is proven by different studies. On his initiative, the independent association Healthy Back Action (Aktion Gesunder Rücken e. V.) was established in 1995. This non-profit organization cooperates with the most diverse medical disciplines and their respective associations, as well as with thousands of doctors and therapists. It collects and publishes exhaustive results and information from medical specialties.

In this way, many people affected by back pain are helped, which is the majority of us.
