Healthy Back, also known as The Healthy Back Store, is chain of stores that sells products targeted at people with back pain or other physical conditions. Most of their stores are located in Maryland and Virginia. Their products include office chairs, recliners, mattresses, pillows, seat cushions, massage chairs, exercise and massage equipment, and inversion tables.

The company was founded by Anthony Mazlish in 1994 after he suffered a back injury and found there was an open niche for a specialty back retailer.

They are known for buying out the Maryland-based Joanne's Bed and Back chain of stores in 2008. Joanne's Bed and Back had filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier that year. Healthy Back closed four Joanne's stores and assimilated nine more under their own name.

Healthy Back now has 19 locations in 7 states and a corporate office in Beltsville, MD.
