Benefits of Foam Rollers

If neck or back pain is preventing you from living your full life or achieving your full athletic potential, you are not alone. Many of our customers benefit from using our foam rollers as part of their daily morning/bedtime routine (or in between visits with their physical therapist and chiropractor) as a non-surgical, drug-free alternative to alleviate pain and discomfort and promote improved posture.

Our foam rollers are a beneficial tool that you can use at home and "on-the-go" to promote:

  1. Myofascial release
  2. Reduced tension, tightness, and pain
  3. Alignment of the vertebrae
  4. Overall spinal fitness

The "Creatrix Curve" Difference

While other foam rollers might provide quick relief of pain symptoms, Creatrix Solutions Foam Rollers are scientifically designed to promote proper spine curvature, which reduces tension, tightness, and pain for both short-term relief and long-term spinal health.

Why are other foam rollers inferior? Other foam rollers made from low-grade foam, rubber, or hard plastic aren't comfortable. They crunch your spinous, causing stress and possibly pain on the bone and nerves, because they lack the design features to remold the spinal column.

The Creatrix Solutions foam rollers for the neck, lower back, and full back act like a spinal support brace because they have a specialized groove to guide the vertebrae, like a train on a train track. The groove supports the transverse process while simultaneously letting the spinous float. The body's weight in the supine (lying position) over strategically positioned rolls relieves tight muscles so the vertebrae can shift and settle into a healthier position and curvature.

Picture a locomotive (train) moving down the train track, being guided in the correct direction. The shape is critical because you can never change the muscle bone attachment points, and tight muscles mean the vertebrae are in the wrong position. For the first time, our spinal fitness foam rolls provide the passive guidance you need to remold the spine's shape.

Back Trac: Massage Your Spine Into Proper Alignment

Just Let It Float!


Traditional foam rollers and plastic or rubber-treated back rollers are uncomfortable because the crunching and cracking against your spine can be painful. Even though you hear cracking in your back as you roll on the BackTrac’s patented groove, the groove guides the vertebrae into a more desirable alignment that isn’t possible with other foam rollers. In addition, the deep groove of the Back Trac gives your spinous the room to float, thus protecting your vertebrae, as your muscles and ligaments are allowed to relax and realign. Learn how you can just #LetItFloat!

How to Roll Away Back Pain

The Back Trac has a patented groove that works like a train on a track. The groove allows BOTH the spinous to float WITHOUT PAIN and ALSO catches the transverse process to encourage alignment. By rolling back and forth on it, your body weight allows the vertebrae to realign. In addition, the combination of our foam with this specific groove encourages the process of intervertebral joints to stretch (opening up the meninges), which reduces pinched nerves and improves spinal health.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND CREATRIX

Ideal spinal curvature is mathematical. The late Dr. John S. Scherger, who coined the phrase "Spinal Fitness," best explained it. Dr. Scherger used mathematics to change how NFL teams approached the spine, biomechanics, and strength training. His work with the New England Patriots, New York Giants, New York Jets, and Dallas Cowboys was nothing short of miraculous!

Dr. John S. Scherger explained muscle attachments do not change. Therefore, when function and movement are impaired by improper spinal posture, weightlifting focused only on muscle development will NOT improve physical performance. In "Dr. John Scherger's Spinal Fitness and Sports Medicine Series, Kinesiological Analysis of Human Spinal Development & Function in Earth's Gravity," July 2002, Volume #1d, mathematical proofs show that correct spinal structure, not muscle size, enhances athletic ability. Dr. John S. Scherger said,

"You must get the proper spinal structure first. Then, the extra power the muscles generate can be put to productive use. Without the proper spinal structure, what muscles create in the form of the resultant force will not be stabilized properly and therefore will not be effective in producing physical movements like running, jumping, and hitting."

According to Dr. Scherger, the spine curve directly impacts athletic performance. When ideal curvature is absent, the angle of gravitational force reverses; so instead of pushing facet bone to facet bone like a vice, the multifidus and interspinales muscles are strained to the point of failure. Unfortunately, traditional athletic training methods have ignored the multifidus and interspinales muscles and how those muscles can strengthen the core and restore ideal curvature. However, this is the focus of our Creatrix Solutions exercise and spinal fitness products!

All the Creatrix Solutions exercise and spinal fitness products were designed using Dr. John S. Sherger's research methods. And guess what? THEY WORK!!! With the proper techniques described in our PDF GUIDES, our products can help you realign your spine, loosen your muscles, and relieve the pain in your neck and back! And for athletes, our products can help you RUN FASTER, JUMP HIGHER, and HIT HARDER!

Thank you Dr. Scherger!

In loving memory of the late Dr. John S. Scherger, Eileen Durfee, inventor and owner of Creatrix Solutions, thanks Dr. Scherger and his family for the work they have done! Dr. John S. Scherger inspired Eileen so much that she used his mathematical concepts to develop the spinal fitness equipment at Creatrix Solutions.

What Causes Back & Neck Pain?

In today's world, everyone has had back pain at some point or at least knows someone who has. The U.S. spends $100 billion on back pain every year. Unfortunately, much of it is spent on methods and gadgets that DON'T FIX THE PROBLEM! To truly and finally ELIMINATE BACK PAIN, you must fix spinal curvature. The secret to living without back pain is to train your spine to have the best shape… a shape that has the mechanical advantage against gravity!

The actual cause of back pain is loss of curvature, plus gravity that tightens muscles, pinches nerves, restricts movement, and decreases blood flow. The spine is a mechanical piece of equipment that functions within tight tolerances based on shape within the earth's gravitational forces. Ideal curvature is mathematical and was explained best by the late Dr. John S. Scherger.

What is Forward Head Posture?

One of the most common causes of back and neck pain is tech neck (forward head posture) from leaning forward while typing on a computer and looking down while texting. After either of these activities, do you notice you have tight muscles and feel fatigued? No wonder! Tight muscles are the body's attempt to keep the spine from drifting farther from the ideal shape. Technology is causing people to lean forward and put their heads in a forward position.

When your back is flat, and your neck is forward… GRAVITY is your ENEMY, and the body will consume massive amounts of energy to keep your body from falling flat. When your neck and back have the correct curve, your head weighs 85 pounds. When you have a straight neck posture, your head weighs 131 pounds. And when you have a forward head posture, your head weighs 168 pounds! The added weight makes it more and more challenging to hold up your head! The good news is that forward head posture can be corrected with our Neck Shaper.

Why Do You Need an S-Shaped Spine?

It takes 18 years to develop the S-shaped spine, and most people never attain the ideal shape because proper training is not taught.

Some popular exercises, like the traditional sit-up, taught in school gym classes, encourage loss of curvature and increase force against two critical muscles instead of strengthening those core muscles. The posterior shear forces developed by traditional sit-ups CAN CAUSE bulged discs, pinched nerves, and stenosis!

(For more information about how to do a sit-up the correct way, download our PDF guide "Ab Exercises for Bad Back PDF: The Correct Sit-Up.")

When an incorrect neutral spine develops, the lower spine doesn't have the proper curve, which causes the hamstring to be tight, and the muscles of the neck and lower back to be swollen and stiff. This puts the individual in a highly susceptible back or neck injury scenario. To help you correct your spinal curve, we created three foam rollers (based on Dr. Scherger's research): neck foam rollers, low back foam rollers, and the Back Trac.
