“I believe that one should own a Relax The Back store if they feel that they want to specialize in helping others. The consultative approach we take with our clients not only builds their confidence in our solutions for Back and Neck pain, but allows us to cultivate a customer or even friend for life. They trust that we are the professional to go to for their daily comfort needs.” - Bob Duncan, Relax The Back Franchise Owner
