What is MECA™?

The vision of the MECAback™ Institute is to create awareness about the damage the human spine endures from normal daily activities, the actual cause of most mechanical back problems – and to provide real solutions to prevent this damage. The MECAback™ Institute comes from a preventative mindset. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the frequency of lower back pain issues and their subsequent costs. by providing products that support, enhance, stabilize and maintain good body mechanics and posture.

The MECA™ protocol is simple. In just 10 minutes day, a yoga stretching pose done in conjunction with a foam wedge will actually create elasticity and help restore the natural shape of the back.

It’s been proven that 99% of back problems are mechanical in nature. This means that rather than being organic (i.e. an inherent disease), back problems are caused by things we DO. Over time, we may lose the mechanical advantage to walk upright in a balanced stable manner.

The daily act of sitting is actually the #1 cause for “bad backs.”

And it starts when we’re young. LEARN MORE

The MECA Back Wedge is a foam tool designed to reverse spinal damage from sitting. The shape of the wedge creates counter-pressure, bending the spine back to its’ normal shape! When used in conjunction with the MECA™ Back Protocol, the foam wedge will prevent degenerative breakdown of joints and discs and help to maintain a healthy, functional spine.
