Hi, my name is Jeff Callander. I'm actually an engineer and not a doctor but I invented the Impleo^® because I was in pain and I needed relief!

The product began when, having a variety of back pain, I sought relief. My back pain was not "singular" as some of it came from old accidents, other from the extensive travelling I do and a lot from playing with the kids!

Therefore it was not just a bad disc but also stress, muscle spasms and tension. Having progressed through a variety of medical disciplines and products I discovered that simple and gentle "decompression" helped massively yet there were no products offering the combination of elements I sought.

Remember, the stress and tension caused by today's lifestyles demands that you look after yourself. The Impleo^® helps relieve the discomfort and pain in the back and shoulders caused by work, travel, shopping and even exercise, by letting the spine gently decompress. This in turn, aids in relieving muscles, nerves and joints from pressure, while improving circulation to those same areas!

SOME OF THE VIEWS OF OTHERS

Darcy Jones, Registered Osteopath

North Hampshire Osteopathic Clinic, Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK, Telephone 01256 352 241

I am very happy to give my wholehearted professional support for this new back-care device. I have been in osteopathic practice for about 19 years now, and I have evaluated many products which claim to ease back pain and promote healthy mobile backs. By and large most have been disappointing - the Impleo® however is impressive. It is stylish, elegant, easy to use, comfortable and, above all, it really does work, for both acute (short term) back discomfort with or without pain or numbness down the legs and chronic back pain (long term).

Mr. Callander and his team of engineers are to be congratulated on developing this simple approach to a great problem by creating a sloping curved

surface, which you lie back on; this slope has an angle that provides the gentle traction necessary to decompress the intervertebral discs and joints which then relieve the pressure on the spinal nerves without stressing the back or other parts of the body. After about 1/4 hour of lying back, a few times a day or as required (depending on the severity of the discomfort), most of my patients who have tested Impleo® feel much better very quickly. It is therefore a very useful adjunct to all physical therapists - physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteopaths alike.

I would also recommend the Impleo® to the busy businessman or woman who just wants to unwind after a day at work. A healthy spine is essentially a spine free from too much stress and tension.

Hello Jeff, I was desperate to try and get rid of the pain inmy back, hip and groin. I have suffered with a bad back

from slipped disc for many years, and knew that this was once again the cause of my extreme discomfort. With a skiing holiday due to start in 3 weeks, I was on a mission to try and sort myself out, or accept that we would not be going. I started to wear a back support belt a few days ago, which helped me get up and about a little more. Researching the internet, I was lucky to find your product, and could see the list of good comment left by people - it was therefore worth a go! Well, having received my board, I was keen to try it out. Just 15 mins later, I got up carefully, and was amazed to feel the decompression in my back that I could only dream about - it was truly uplifting, and I thank you so much for this. This feeling did not go, but stayed with me, which was fantastic! I did not need to put the back belt on again. In the evening, I laid on the board for another 15mins - wonderful! This morning (just 24 hrs later), I have taken our dog for a long walk - it felt great to be able to enjoy walking, and the sense of well being once more. My sense of balance seems to have improved as well. The product is of excellent quality, and a simple but very effective invention. I will never sell it, and it will never be far

away from me either!.

Hello again Jeff, Yes of course, please feel free to use anything I have written. I just feel so much happier! I was initially drawn to the numerous roller bead type products, but they did not seem substantial, and I picked up on user comments saying  the beads digging in were not good for the back. Having gone down the electronic route with the Chiropractor, and having felt no benefit, this was not an option for me. Your product then stood out to me, and the background to your invention was appealing. The way you described 'unwinding the spine' was exactly what I felt my body wanted to do. Laying on the floor, and hanging from a ladder provided no relief - but your Impleo board has worked it's magic. I think everyone should have one - well done, and keep up the good work -

Feb 2011 G. Mitchell, Hampshire

Hi again Jeff, I never imagined that I would be out and about getting a few things done at this stage. We are so happy that it is looking as if we will be able to go on our ski holiday after all, but I will be taking the skiing very carefully to start with! It has taken me months to get better when I have done this before, and that is with a Chiropractor's help. Looking back, it was a huge turning point when I came and got my Impleo board, which not only gave me the immediate physical feeling of releasing the spine, but also the mental focus of being able to get better, when I was starting to give up hope. You must be very proud of your invention, and I wish you well. Again, thank you so much, and I count myself lucky in finding you!

Hi! I just have to thank you - the back stretcher is AMAZING!!! I woke with very severe back pain (sharing a bed with too many cats doesn't help a long-standing problem!) - and tried it out for a few moments when it arrived - and the pain went! Incredible!! I could actually feel the tension draining away. It is a fantastic product - and I have tried A LOT! Another plus - I was able to get off it with no problems - one back stretcher I tried left me stuck on the floor rolling around in far worse pain than when I started! I wish you every success in the future! Once again many, many thanks! Sue

My Best ever Buy! Changed my life after two sessions ! 1st Class !!

D.P. Bouffard, Montreal, Canada

I would like to express my full satisfaction regarding the Impleo original. My partner and I are using it almost daily and it has remarkable effects. Since several months I was walking leaning forward and feeling pain in my lower back. After a few days of using the Impleo, I was able to walk straight and since then I never returned to my previous wrong posture. In addition my back does not hurt any more. I am almost 60 years old and my back has always made me suffering in a way or another. It is not any more the case and it has released a lot of energy. My partner has felt a great opening in her body and her standing position has also improved dramatically. The Impleo is absolutely the right device for the back. Even though it is simple, it is a great worth. We can definitely recommend it to other people.

It works, gentle traction. Very restful to use and easy to store. Great product.

Julie Long, Waterlooville, England

I took delivery of my impleo nearly two weeks ago and it is wonderful. How can something so simple work so well. I have been suffering from upper back pain for nearly two years now due to a whiplash injury and working full time as a nurse. It has got to the stagewhere it was affecting my sleep. But after a coupleof goes on my new impleo things are so much better. I feel that I stand more upright and the pain is gettingso much better. Thank you so much for making something that really helps with back pain. Wishing you all the best in your business

Do you know, the biggest advantage I have found is the fact that I have to stop doing stuff for 10 minutes, which is relaxing in itself and if I force myself not to think about work, the whole relaxed body/relaxed mind thing is great.

Paul Marsh, Bangkok, Thailand

I don’t have a back problem, just stiffness and discomfort. This has done wonders for my posture. I’m walking around like a Sergeant Major!

Mr C Macdonald, Glasgow, Scotland

I saw the press release, cut it out and took it back to show my boss who suffers from a back problem. My boss asked me to buy the Impleo on his behalf.

Mrs M Munro, Aberdeen, Scotland

Saw the press release and thought of my Accountant son sitting at his desk day in day out. I bought the Impleo for him as I thought it would be a good idea for him just to de-stress and relax for 10 minutes every day.

Mrs Christie Kintore, Scotland

10 minutes on the Impleo was initially a bit much. 5 minutes was a good time to begin with and now I have progressed to 10 minutes. The benefit I get from the Impleo is similar to when I was in traction at the hospital. My GP said my condition was due to wear and tear plus minor arthritis setting in. I am happy to have the Impleo in my home so I can use it whenever I need the relief, I am certainly very happy with the Impleo.

Viv Braun, London

The Impleo is simple in design and very sleek. Long-term effect remains to be seen but using it does give instant relief – that same stretch which my chiropractor used to provide. A final thought – as the shoulders fall outside the narrow board, an added benefit is the opening up of the chest area, good for circulatory/airway problems, similar to an exercise used in yoga.

I Steward, Huntly, Scotland

Better and less intimidating than the Shiatsu back rack device.

Chim Howe Lai, Singapore

I tried the Impleo and it works for me. Takes out the minor back pain from sitting too long and when going for long jogs.

MT Stone, Aberdeen

A well built piece of furniture, brilliant delivery service.

Mrs TM Truscott, Milton Keynes

Takes some getting used to but once in a routine of regular use it is quite helpful in relieving symptoms

Colin Rouse, St Albans, Herts

The device is very effective, I can feel my spine loosen up after about 3 minutes.

J Domenico, Physiotherapist, Wimslow, Cheshire

I think the Impleo is great and have used it myself. I am recommending it to my clients and I am also preparing exercises suitable for use with the Impleo, My website for those interested is http://www.physiopilates.co.uk.

Kim Horsford, Canterbury

Still using it and very happy! I use it for short periods as my back is very dodgy and aches a bit if I’m on the Impleo for more than a few minutes. My husband, who doesn’t have back problems, finds it good after work and especially after a game of golf!

Brian Murphy, Inverness, Scotland

This is just a note to say that both my wife and I are delighted with our purchase. I am in my seventies and my wife in her sixties and we both swear by it. Whenever backache begins, through over stretching whilst gardening or other activity, we know use of the Impleo will put things right. We are so please we heard about the product. Best wishes.

Tom Weiss, Mass, USA

Well packaged, no damage. Great look and feel to the unit. All have enjoyed the effects of your Impleo. My girlfriend was getting nerve/pressure pain in one hip/leg which went away after two session on the unit. It is helping my sons posture! They actually walk taller and feel better after use. Very impressed that the Impleo works for us tall folk. So many therapeutical items are made for under 6’ tall people. Your advertising should include how tall you can be.

Impleo supported the Breast Cancer Care charity at the Trinity Centre in Aberdeen. Nicola Jolly was in attendance.
