“As an Interventional Pain Specialist, everyday I see the long term effects of improper biomechanics and how it can lead to chronic spine related pain. With the reality of working in sedentary environments, our spines are deprived of much needed exercise and mobility. Physicians are frequently asked to help manage these problems with injections or medications after years of spine deconditioning have already taken place. An emphasis on spine health through exercise and flexibility cannot be overstated in promoting longevity and wellness. SELKA provides a thoughtful and natural method to engage the spine into movements that are too frequently neglected with poor posture and inactivity. Empowering patients to improve their health through preventative care with products such as SELKA is the future of spine care.”

“As a yoga teacher and practitioner, I’m constantly made aware of the importance of spine health. While it behooves us to have a mobile spine for the physical practice, it can also have a great effect on the quality of the mind, nervous system, and breath. Joseph Pilates is quoted to have said: “You are only as young as your spine is flexible”, and I definitely agree. SELKA is a very accessible tool to begin working on opening-up and re-finding mobility in the spine for a wide range of people. It supplies a perfect mix of stretch and support, improving posture, breath, and mood. Five minutes a day on SELKA could be a key life improvement for many! ”

“As an owner of one of the busiest training gyms in NYC and coach to top professional athletes, I see a few very common postures that have been adopted from daily life and occupations that center around a keyboard. This is often accompanied by an inability to use the diaphragm in regular breathing. SELKA allows for the spine to relax certain curvatures back into a position where the diaphragm and torso can go through their natural expansion, and the person experiences more ease in deep inhalation. Proper breathing is the first step in the quest for functionality.”
