Relax The Back Franchise

Products for back pain relief/prevention

Having grown out of just one retail store in 1984, Relax The Back Corporation today is for people seeking relief and prevention of back and neck pain, Relax The Back offers posture and back support products and self care solutions because we are the most innovative medically driven nationwide back care retailer. With 80 stores nationwide and in Canada, distribution centers, corporate offices and the acquisition of a leading back care product manufacturer, Relax The Back Corporation has a proven track record of sales, customer satisfaction, and success.

To end the epidemic of back pain and help in preventing back pain, Relax The Back stores provide both the best products and associates who educate customers on proper product use. The associates attend a company-training program about posture, ergonomics, and most importantly, self-care. That commitment to ensure that each product solution is accompanied by appropriate education in product use has proven to be the foundation for success.

Since the beginning Relax The Back has expanded not only the number of stores, but also the customer base and product line. Stores now offer a variety of products for your back and neck. Products are merchandised in one of five lifestyle zones- Office, Home, Sleep, Travel and Health & Fitness-, many of which are exclusive to the chain. Customers make multiple purchases as products are classified in each zone of their 24-hour day.

The health care industry response to Relax The Back has been vigorous. By continuing to educate consumers and revitalizing the merchandising Relax The Back maintains the unique position as a specialty health care retailer. The success of Relax The Back demonstrates the American consumer's insistence on value and integrity.
