"Simple and super effective!"

My husband brought a Wedge home after it was recommended by Michael O'Reilly (who created it) and I’ve been using it too! It’s absolutely brilliant for realigning the spine especially after hunching over a computer for hours. It’s such a simple thing yet super effective!

"My whole family use it"

My whole family use it including my children aged 15 and 11. Can really feel the stretch on our backs, then it relaxing (it wasn't to begin with !) However we can see the difference before and after

"The Balance Wedge is amazing"

The Balance Wedge is amazing. I was given it to treat terrible dizziness and headaches which I had been suffering for months.

Within a few weeks of using it, my symptoms began to improve.

A few months on, I am symptom free and my posture has improved dramatically.

I cannot recommend the Balance Wedge more highly.

"definitely has helped with my neck & shoulder pain."

The Balance Wedge makes my symptoms feel a lot better and it definitely has helped with my neck & shoulder pain.

"I can't imaging being without my Wedge now!"

Using the Wedge feels like I'm resetting my spine... I can't imaging being without my Wedge now!

"An Independent Physio"

"I am always a little reserved when it comes to work related gadgets and tools, especially those that are new. I needn't have had any concerns. The Wedge has become standard within my treatment and exercise repertoire and the evidence, from patient feedback, is strong.

The Wedge is a sleek looking device, which appears very simple in its design, however the benefit gained from its use is much more complex. I have treated upper quadrant patients for over 20 years and have used various techniques to improve thoracic mobility, including exercises, rolled towels, rolled magazines, tape etc. None have proved as effective or as easily applied as the Wedge.

The Wedge allows perfect alignment of the spine in a relaxed position where the user does not feel as if they are lying flat. It gives fantastic proprioception of spinal movement, and together with a flow of simple exercises allows release of the anterior chain, and mobilisation of the spine, gently allowing natural correction of posture, and off loading those "hinge" areas.

I use the Wedge to treat all my upper quadrant patients, and to run through some simple exercises, after which many ask where they can purchase such a device. A huge percentage of patients who walk away with a Wedge after their appointment report continued use and can feel the ongoing benefits.

I have had great success in treating neck pain, shoulder impingement, and other upper quadrant conditions in much shorter time frames than usual, much to the delight of my patients. I use the Wedge within my Pilates classes, and all my clients have enjoyed the benefits of the mobility they have gained from using it.

The Wedge is definitely something you need to try in order to realise how and why it is effective. If you are a cynic like me, then this is for you!!"
