Core idea: improve spinal alignment so ligaments and muscles can relax, vertebrae can settle, and pain begins to ease.
Do you suffer from neck or back pain?

Why tight muscles stay tight — and how to change it.

When posture collapses and spinal curves flatten, muscles in the lower back, upper back, and neck work overtime just to hold you upright. Over time, this can feel like constant tightness, deep fatigue, nerve irritation, or disc pain.

The Creatrix system is designed to gently guide the spine back toward an efficient S-shape while you relax over the rolls or perform focused exercises. As the curve improves, muscles don’t have to grip as hard, nerves have more room, and many people experience less pain— even in cases where surgery was originally recommended.

All of the tools are portable, so you can support your spine at home, at work, at the gym, or while traveling, instead of waiting for the next appointment.

Use at home & on the go

  • Rebalance muscles, ligaments, and vertebrae in just minutes a day.
  • Simple setup on the floor, couch, or bed—no big machines.
  • Pack foam rollers and the Neck Shaper for travel, tournaments, and road trips.

Fix the curve to fix the problem.

Flat backs and “tech neck” are major contributors to chronic pain. Instead of simply stretching or massaging tight muscles, the Creatrix Neck and Back Foam Rollers help you restore the natural curves that make standing and moving in gravity more efficient.

Lying over the correct size rolls for about 20 minutes allows the spine to be gently supported in a healthier position while muscles and ligaments gradually let go. Over time, this can build a more resilient curve and reduce daily tension.

The goal is what many customers call the “Creatrix Curve”—an S-shaped spine that can carry load with less effort and less strain.

Get your #CreatrixCurve

  • Choose neck and back rolls sized to your body and posture.
  • Use them after activity or before bed to reset your spine.
  • Combine with back-twist and other spinal fitness moves for best results.
The Neck Shaper

Strengthen your neck & enhance the curve.

The Neck Shaper is a face-fitting force applicator designed to train a precise movement called Neck Flexion. By strengthening the deep cervical muscles in a curved, upright position, you can bring the head back over the pelvis and support a healthier S-shaped spine.

Instead of traction straps or passive devices that only feel good while you wear them, the Neck Shaper teaches your body to hold a better posture under its own power—whether you’re recovering from pain or chasing performance.

Many people use the Neck Shaper while standing, and then progress to lying over the Power Cushion for more advanced work.

#ShapeAway your neck pain

  • Target the small stabilizers traditional neck devices often miss.
  • Support healthy curve instead of forcing the neck straight.
  • Use short, focused sets—only a few reps can make a difference.
Back Trac

Massage your spine into better alignment.

Traditional flat foam rollers and hard, treaded back rollers can press directly into the spine and feel uncomfortable. The Back Trac uses a deep, patented groove that lets the spinous processes float while the edges contact the transverse processes.

As you gently roll, you may hear clicks and pops as joints open up and vertebrae shift. Because the groove guides the spine like a train on tracks, you can get that “adjusted” feeling without the sharp pressure of ordinary rollers.

Many users describe it as a portable, at-home massage for the thoracic and full back.

#LetItFloat

  • Grooved design protects the spinous as you roll.
  • Encourages vertebrae to settle into a more desirable alignment.
  • Pairs well with Neck & Back Shaper rolls for full-spine care.

The science behind Creatrix

Why spinal curves matter for pain relief and performance.

Ideal spinal curvature isn’t just a posture cue—it’s a physics problem. The late Dr. John S. Scherger, who coined the term “Spinal Fitness,” used mathematics to show how correct spinal structure improves strength, movement, and resilience in gravity.

“You must get the proper spinal structure first. Then the extra power the muscles generate can be put to productive use.”

When curves are too flat, the angle of gravitational forces can strain the multifidus and interspinales muscles instead of letting bones stack and share load. That’s why Creatrix exercise and spinal fitness products focus on restoring the S-shaped spine while you move and while you rest.

Combined with the PDF guides and how-to videos on related pages, the Neck Shaper, foam rollers, and Back Trac give you a complete toolbox to loosen tight muscles, support healthier posture, and—if you’re an athlete—move toward running faster, jumping higher, and hitting harder with less risk.
