Relax The Back is a resource for therapeutic products to relieve and prevent back and neck pain. Many products are exclusive to Relax The Back, and have been designed to meet the specific needs of clients. Relax The Back employees receive training in spinal health and anatomy, have a thorough understanding of products and related therapeutic benefits, and can match the correct products based on clients' specific back and neck issues.
The first Relax The Back opened in Austin, Texas in 1984. An osteopath established a unique specialty retail store with products geared towards health and posture. In 1987, an entrepreneur named Virginia Rogers purchased the original store and packaged the business into a successful franchise format.
Since that time Relax The Back has grown and adopted an independent franchising model. Relax The Back corporate offices are currently located in La Palma, California.
