"Backlife combines a very gentle pelvic rotation with a very light traction. That combination is what is so unique; it is both resting and movement at the same time". "Backlife is a very effective treatment of both acute and chronic back pain. It is a ten minute program that is going to replace much more complicated treatments that have been offered in the past and is recommended to be incorporated into one's fitness program".

THE STATE OF ISRAEL MINISTRY OF HEALTH TEL AVIV SOURASKY MEDICAL CENTER Affiliated to the Tel Aviv University Sackler Faculty of Medicine Municipality of Medicine Municipality of Tel Aviv- Yaffo   To whom it may concern, I was introduced with a device for “Stretching Method for preventing or relieving a Lower Back Pain” patent no. 5,772,612 with its mechanical advantages and its obvious simplicity. The device enables back stretching and reliving in the proper manner without the load of body weight. The process does not require any help of outside device such as weights and stretching devices as exist in today’s market and it is very friendly for the user. The device has a potential for relieving common and chronic back pains resulting from continual stresses and strain experienced by lower back region. Furthermore, it has potential to relief back pains in case of extreme seizure. I expressed my interest in conducting an extensive research using the device in the hospital believing that the device can be beneficial for the great number of people who suffer from back pain.

March 8th , 2002 To whom it may concern, I have been involved with the Backlife project for the past two years. I was responsible for the very first feasibility assessment study of Backlife with patients suffering from low back pain. These patients were referred to the Backlife treatment from the Unit for Surgery of the Spine at Meir hospital, Kfar-Saba, Israel. I was excited by the response of the majority of patients after using the device. The results of the study are promising. More than 75% of patients were satisfied with the device and their responses indicated that Backlife had significantly helped them with their lower back pain. The Backlife device functions as a CPM (continues passive movement) apparatus and incorporates proven therapy techniques used by experts. This unique treatment regimen is currently available only in professional clinics, and has never before been presented for home use. Backlife is a user-friendly device, allowing treatment without professional supervision. In addition to the initial study, we are planning to start a Multi-Center Study in three leading medical centers, in the very near future. We are very encouraged with the pilot study results. Over the past 10 years our department has successfully treated more then 100,000 patients with back pain. I will actively encourage my patients to purchase and use Backlife once it is available as a consumer product. Once the product becomes available, I will be happy to endorse Backlife, along with the findings of the studies, at international professional conferences. Sincerely Yours, Dr. Reuven Gepstein Head Unit For Surgery Of The Spine Meir Hospital, Kfar-Saba Israel

Assaf Harofeh Medical Center Affiliated to Sackler School of Medicine Tel-Aviv University Zerifin 70300    Israel Orthopedic Department “A” Phone: (972)8-9779436/0 Fax: (972)8-9779436 March 14th, 2002  Backlife intermittent lumbar mobilization treatment To whom it may concern:             We currently finished conducting a pilot trial with the Backlife intermittent lumbar mobilization treatment with promising initial results. This study was conducted by our department in an outpatient setting and due to medical and scientific interest in this new treatment method. We believe use of this method could offer relief of pain through manipulation based on the principal movement of anterior-posterior pelvic tilt and the semi-fowler initial position. It is our intention to launch a multi-center follow-up study in the very near future, with initial expected patient cohort of 150, and up to 300 patients if statistical power demands so. We perceive the continues passive movement inherent to this method a utilization of a well-accepted therapeutic notion with a possibly very promising role in future spine-related patient care.   Sincerely, Mirovsky Yigal, M.D. Head, Spine Surgery Unit Assaf Harofeh Medical Center Zerifin 70300, Israel

1st January, 2001 Dear Mr. Elan, Please accept my heartfelt thanks for including me in your trials with the Backlife. As you know, I had a double laminectomy of L3-4, L4-5, for severe symptoms on the left, occasioned by protrusion and extrusion of the corresponding discs, ten month ago.  Although the surgery has been very successful and the neurological findings have completely disappeared, I now suffer from sciatic nerve radiation to my right leg secondary to a protruded disc L4 S1, which renders standing or ambling painful to very painful.  The two sessions I underwent with the Backlife have greatly alleviated my infirmity and I intend to pursue the treatment, and ultimately, purchase the device for home use when available.  Sincerely yours,  Moshe Many M.D, P.H.D  Professor of surgery  Past President T.A University

To whom it may concern  As an orthopedic surgeon, who treats acute and chronic patient suffering from lower back problems, I recommend, the movement called anterior and posterior pelvic tilt.  Over the last 6 months I have been using Backlife in my practice, and I can report significant alleviation of lower back pain.  The device replicates in a unique and precise way the movement and mobility created by the therapist (know as anterior-posterior pelvic tilt manipulation as stated above). Backlife is a CPM (continues passive movement) device, which emulates this movement.  Backlife is very user friendly, does not require professional supervision & can be used by the one who suffers from lower back pain.  Due to the accurate, special and effective movement that Backlife creates, it is suitable and helps acute and chronic patients as one.  Sincerely yours, Prof   Moshe Salai Head of Orthopedic Department Rabin Medical Center, Belinson Campus ISRAEL
