Seeing Mike today, you would not guess he lived with severe back complaints for years. We spoke to him at home, at the kitchen table, about how it started, why he kept doubting, and what finally changed.

The beginning

When did your back complaints actually start?

“My back complaints did not appear from one day to the next. In the beginning I had some trouble now and then after a busy day at work. I thought it would pass by itself. But it did not. The complaints came back more and more often and slowly got worse. In the end the pain became a daily companion.”

At a certain point my back started to rule my life. I was constantly thinking about what I could and could not do.

What he tried

What did you try in that period?

“Like thousands of others I went looking for a solution. I saw various doctors, physiotherapists and other therapists. Sometimes I felt an improvement for a while, but the complaints always came back. After every treatment I had hope. And every time I relapsed.”

“Meanwhile the medication kept getting heavier. The painkillers did help, but I felt I was becoming dependent. When surgery was eventually mentioned, I realised I wanted to look at every other option first.”

Mike unpacks his ANDUFIT. “I just wanted to feel it for myself first.”

Getting to know it

How did you first come across ANDUFIT?

“I heard about ANDUFIT for the first time through my GP. Even so I stayed sceptical. After everything I had already tried, I did not simply believe in another new system.”

“What convinced me in the end was that I could try it at home first. No sales talk, just feeling what it did to my body.”

I wanted to feel it myself. No promises, just letting my own body judge.

The first week

What did you notice in the first week?

“The first thing that changed was my sleep. For years I woke up several times a night because of my back. Suddenly I slept much more deeply. I was no longer constantly woken by the pain.”

“And in the morning something happened that I had not felt for a long time. Normally my back was stiff every morning and I had to walk around for quite a while before I could move normally. After a few days I noticed that the morning stiffness was much less. I got up more easily.”

The weeks after

And in the weeks that followed?

“I kept using ANDUFIT every day. My back felt stronger and my body recovered better. In consultation with my doctor I was able to reduce my medication gradually. For me that was an enormous victory.”

What could you do again that you had given up?

“I started working in the garden again. I could walk again without constantly thinking about my back. Even sport, something I had missed for years, slowly came back into my life.”

“For many people things like that seem obvious. For me they meant freedom.”

What Sandy noticed

Sandy, what did you notice of the change?

“I saw him laugh again. Where the back pain used to be there all the time, there was room to enjoy life again. We make plans again: a weekend away, a holiday, just doing something on the spur of the moment. Things that seemed impossible for years.”

Sandy uses ANDUFIT daily as well, as support for the complaints she has from fibromyalgia.

Part of the day

How does ANDUFIT fit into your day?

“The ease of use above all is an enormous advantage. The ANDUFIT simply stays under the mattress. Every evening when I go to sleep, I start my session. Sometimes I use it in the morning as well.”

“I do not have to go anywhere, I lose no time. I only have to lie down. That is exactly why it is easy to keep using it every day.”

Every evening Mike starts his session with the handset.

The investment

Was the investment a hurdle?

“When I was considering the investment for my double ANDUFIT, I hesitated for a moment. Today I look at that completely differently. When I see how much quality of life I got back, that amount is actually relative.”

“You spend money on a car or a new kitchen without thinking. But your health you use every day.”

His message

What do you want to say to others with back complaints?

“I always say the same thing: do not wait until your back is completely worn out. The longer you wait, the harder it gets. You cannot turn back time.”

“Above all I am glad that I will never have to say later: had I only done it sooner.”

What ANDUFIT does differently

With andullation, gentle low-frequency vibrations are carried through the mattress into the body. They support the relaxation of the muscles and stimulate circulation while you lie in bed. The underlying andullation technology is also used in physiotherapy. You do not have to do exercises for it or set time aside, because it happens in your own bed.

This is how the low-frequency vibrations are carried through the mattress into the different body zones.

5 to 40 HzLow-frequency andullation, the same researched technology used in physiotherapy.

7 motors, 5 zonesThe seven motors spread the vibrations across five body zones, among them back, shoulders and neck.

Through the mattressUp to 45 cm thick, 7 intensity levels. You keep your own bed.

Without effortYou pick one of 20 programmes, or let VitaCheck choose a setting after a 60-second scan.

That makes ANDUFIT different from a classic vibrating mat and from a new mattress alone. The andullation works specifically on the muscles and on circulation. Changes can be followed through the VitaCheck readings, among other things.

What it could do for you

  • Deep back relaxation. The vibrations travel along your spine and release the tension of the day, right where it builds up.
  • Less stress. Slow, rhythmic stimulation calms the nervous system, so body and mind wind down before you fall asleep.
  • Longer REM sleep. A relaxed body reaches deep and REM sleep more easily and stays there longer, so you wake up restored.
  • Faster recovery. Better circulation and more REM sleep speed up how quickly your body bounces back.
