# Can I use BackHug if I bruise easily?

## In this article, we'll discuss how BackHug may lead to bruising and what could be done to manage it/prevent it.

BackHug applies concentrated pressure which can result in temporary marks on your skin or bruising.

If you experience bruising after using BackHug, please increase the gap between your sessions to allow your skin to recover.

You may also consider:

\- decreasing the strength of the fingers

\- wearing additional clothing like an extra t-shirt etc.
