The Burnsville franchise is owned by business partners who were attracted by the business profile and the promise of helping people. Relax The Back is a single source for people suffering from back pain, neck pain and many other disorders, says Kathy Alexander, who opened the store earlier this month with business partner Robin Arndt. In this business, we can make a real difference, she adds. It'ss rewarding even to sell a small, ergonomic pen to someone with arthritis, because it really changes their lives.
The store here joins 120-plus Relax The Back (http://www.relaxtheback.com) retail locations throughout North America. Like its successful counterparts around the country, the Burnsville Relax The Back will offer the widest range of innovative back, neck, and sleep-related products available. Alexander and Arndt will place a special emphasis on health and fitness products. Store owners and personnel also place a high priority on personalized service designed to meet the individual needs of every client.
Offerings include more than 300 unique products including ergonomic chairs, Tempur-Pedic mattresses and pillows, back and neck supports, massage chairs, innovative AirPack backpacks for kids, exercise items, and even the highly prized Zero Gravity recliners which put users in the same, stress-free position that the astronauts are in at take-off.
Commenting on the opening, Alexander noted: We will offer our customers the finest products and most individualized service possible. We look forward to being a vital member of the local business community.
Relax The Back was established as a one-stop provider of premier-quality health products and on-site expertise for people seeking relief from, and prevention of, back and neck pain. The company'ss diverse array of products appeal to consumers of virtually all ages and interests - from office workers hunched over their desks all day to seniors seeking comfortable mobility.
Stress, poor posture, old mattresses, long commutes, and poorly designed office chairs contribute heavily to the dramatic increase in back ailments. Consider these alarming stats from the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, US Dept. of Health and Human Services Government Guidelines (applying to the U.S. population only):
- 80% of Americans will suffer from a significant episode of back pain at some time in their lives
- Among working age people in the US, 50% admit to back symptoms each year
- Back pain is the most common cause for disability in persons under age 45
- At any given time, one percent of the population is chronically disabled and another one percent is temporarily disabled due to back problems
- Back and neck pain is the #1 modern day epidemic that is non-life threatening
