Together for a back-healthy life!

We are committed to people's back health -
from prevention to targeted help with complaints.

Aktion Gesunder Rücken (AGR) e. V. is an independent organisation with the aim of promoting back health. To this end, the AGR has developed the "Tested & Recommended" seal of approval as a decision-making aid for consumers. Only products that are categorised as "back-friendly" are awarded this seal. For this assessment, an independent test commission consisting of doctors and therapists from various specialisms comes together and subjects a wide variety of products to strict test criteria.

It is therefore one of the few seals of quality to have received this high-quality international award as an EU certification mark. You can rely on the internationally recognised quality of the unique AGR testing process!
