About Us

Why we're here

backpac.co.uk grew from a concept developed by a team of Physiotherapists; with an aim to provide high quality and useful equipment at the best possible price to a wider audience than that which they saw in their own clinic.

It was found in the past that as there are so many suppliers of, physiotherapy and pain relief products, it could be a little confusing for the general patient to find reliable and tested products.

The products we source are, we believe, the best quality medical grade products currently available.  A majority of the products available have been appraised by physiotherapists, and we are happy to stand behind all that we sell.

Backpac's main speciality is alternative methods of pain relief.  In particular the use of  Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, or TENS for short. 

TENS  is fast becoming the most popular choice of non-invasive and safe pain relief chosen today.  It is often recommended by general practitioners, physiotherapists, consultants and pain clinics as an alternative to using medication.  There are no known side effects to using TENS and, unlike some medication, there is no chance of addiction.  It can be used to improve the quality of life of sufferers of both chronic and acute pain, and can also be used in palliative care. There are a few contra-indications to using TENS and these are listed on our 'What is TENS' page.  Ifyou are unsure as to your suitability for TENS, consult your medical professional for further advice.

We also have a range of complimentary products that can be used safely alongside tens to acheive even more comfort and quality of life.
