My work entails a lot of manual handling, which can cause quite bad lower back pain over time. I bought this as a way to try and combat the pain I was experiencing. Within a couple of weeks I noticed a major improvement in my back pain and would recommend trying this. I tried to extend it to the 2nd level, but went back to the 1st level as I wanted to ease myself into the stretching more slowly.
It can be quite painful at first, especially if you posture or back pain is more severe, but it is a strangely satisfying pain...The hard acupressure points also help kneed the muscles on your back that are stiff. One of the few fitness aids like this that I have actually benefited from!

This is excellent for posture control and stretching your back after a long day of desk work.
I used to slouch while sitting. I would get back aches from time to time. Just 5 mins a day with this and my posture is much better and all my aches have gone! And it's great to stretch out your lower back too.
Also, it's very light and easy to use and put away. I'd definitely recommend this.

if you're having lower back pain buy this as it definetely helps. I still get a bit of pain but that's probably down to bad posture,years of not stretching after sports & age(37). People may see this & think it's a gimmick(as I did) it isn't.

Suffering from a badly herniated disk and needed something to help with my rehabilitation. It has 3 levels and you really need to start off at the lower one, as it really curves your back. I've manged to get to the 2nd level, but am way off the 3rd. It is quite tricky trying to slot in the curved part for each level, but then you don't need to do this that often. This is a great addition to my physiotherapy.

My husband is a bus driver and hes been using it every day and like it better then his pillow he was using. It's very convenient that it comes apart to store flat so it doesnt take up much space.

Do you ever just need a good stretch? My back gets tight from sitting at a computer throughout the day. When I get home, one of the first things I do is stretch with this. I've tried all of the settings and have a personal preference. My kids like different settings and find it easy to adjust to the height they like. Back relief for the whole family is appreciated!

Within one week of using this, I can honestly say i feel so much relief from not only pain but discomfort and stiffness.. I’ve gotten therapy and even epidural shots, but with this product i’ve gotten more relief than ever!! THANK YOU
Vicky S.
Truly an amazing product! I’m a nanny so I stay bent over playing and taking care of kids all day... but my age is making this harder and harder to do. I started out on the lowest setting like the instructions stated and instant popping, then relief. It felt SO good! I can tell everything from my shoulders down to my tail bone are much looser and relaxed. The only time the pain returns are the days I skipping using the back stretcher so this will now be part of my daily routine!

So I could write a page but that’s not needed. I have L4-5 and SI issues. Typical big man low back crud. I own an inversion table. I own a traction table. I’ve had a series of 5 cortisone injections in my low spine. I do therapy. I do stretching. I’ve gone to chiros.
This little plastic dodad has given me more relief and vertebral adjustment than anything else in years. Really.
In short if you have not enough lordosis and have posterior bulging this maybe ideal. Your body weight will push against the curve and that’s what I needed. Within a day I was able to twist and pop the joint off my S1 nerve.
It cheap and simple and just what I needed.
I hope it helps you too.

I like that this is adjustable. I have a lot of lower back pain and stiffness. I bought this to take to my hotworx yoga and Zen classes. I use it on my lower back to stretch it out and ease the tension. But I also use it in my zen sessions as sort of a pillow and then I drape a couple of towels over it because let's face it who wants to bring their pillows into a hotworx class where it usc124 degrees and you're going to sweat all over your pillow and get it all nasty and gross? So this is the perfect solution.

This device is incredible. I have a bulging disc and braces and other types of back stretching never quite got it right for my lower lumbar region. I also have a shifted tailbone from the same injury and my back pain has subsided substantially after just a week of use for 10 minutes a day. I've even cut down on my intake of OTC pain relievers and noticed I've been sleeping better as well.

My FT job is at the computer while working from home. After doing this the last 3 years I can tell a difference in my posture and needed something I could do to relieve back pain through out the day. I have been laying on this morning/ mid day/ and night for about a week and can feel a release of pressure. It has 3 levels of the arch so it can be customized to your needs. The Stretcher is also very sturdy --- I've caught my 4 year old standing on it like a bridge and all is good. High Recommended and easy to store!
Martina l.
I was skeptical...but Omg I love this little thing. I have alot of middle back pain. So when I feel sore I just lay on this for awhile n it helps!
Tony G.
I have had this product for a while now and it is amazing, it is the perfect size which makes it easy to move around with you throughout your home or where ever you might be. It really helps to stretch my back and shoulders and has really helped to relieve my back and shoulder pain. Very durable and super easy to use. This could be used in so many ways I couldn't list them all, but if you are looking for something to help relieve back or shoulder pain, I would highly recommend this product.
Sam k.
My sitting in office is 6-7 hours. This helps me to sit on the chair comfortably. it supports my back. it has an extra function of 3 level sitting posture. product quality is good.
dory m.
Bought it for my husband as he oftenly travels and use it in car seat and I must mention that, this product is of great help for him in supporting lumbar while travelling.
Definately recommended for back pain suffering people.
Go for it...

Excellent for compression exercise for lower back. I have a big sized back arch compression exerciser which I do regularly. But while on tour I was unable to exercise and my back started troubling. But this, weighing only 450 gms, is highly portable and very sturdy. So an excellent and handy tool on my trips. Highly recommended.

Once you find the right position under your back just lay back and relax. The knobs realtbdog into you back and hot all the pressure points and really feel your back realigning. Of course it hurts and first that's because it's working. I really like how my hips even open up and feel my neck cracking and popping. Love to hear my back pop a few times too.
My posture has definitely improved. I've even been told I'm standing much taller. I blow my back out constantly from sports or the gym. This device won't fix all your problems but it has helped tremendously. It relieves the pain and helps rehab my back much faster and cheaper than the chiro.
I highly recommend this product. I use it twice a day for 10 mins on the first level. I've made it to the 2nd level but it's a bit high and still can't find the right spot under my back(comes with time). The chiro says to use twice a day starting at 5 mins a week, then add 2 more minutes each week for 5 weeks then try to level up.
Extremely happy with this, even got a friend to purchase. He's impressed as well.

The massager came quickly enough, corresponds to the description, its function performs, the packaging is not very reliable, one thin doll, it is lucky that nowhere broke

It’s late, I’m in bed and realized my back is not feeling all crunched up. It has to be due to this great little device!!! When it came in I looked over the directions and thought, really? I can put it at the highest arch! I used to do backbends back in the day! Well let’s just say I started on high and immediately sat right back up - it was attempting to stretch me in ways I was not prepared for!! I moved it back to the lowest level and have been laying on it 10 minutes, 2 times a day for a week. I just today moved it up the second position. It provides super support as it stretches and unkinks all those muscles that get crunched up sitting and walking on hard floors all day long. My 6’4”, 225 lb son who is home from college even started using it and says it’s helping his back! Its very compact so I will be putting it in my suitcase during my summer travels and look forward to the day I can really use the highest arch!

This product is definitely worth the purchase. Using this little gadget periodically throughout the week will loosen up that lower back and ease the aches and pains associated with this pain. It's like going to a chiropractor in seconds. Great product!!
Sarah k.
This has really helped me with my physical therapy on my back sitting down at a desk all day. After years of pain, I can actually feel relief for once with this device. The different settings are really nice because some days I can only do the smallest setting and others I can do the biggest setting. I’m really glad I tried this because I have tried so many things to help me with my back and neck pain!

I've had lower back pain for years stemming from a driving job I had back in 2001; Due to aging and a variety of personal factors, it has gotten significantly worse over the past year. So, I've been looking for something to help alleviate the tightness in my back for months, when I saw this back stretcher I decided to give it a try - I had nothing to lose. The first time I laid out across the stretcher, I felt the tension in my vertebrae release - it was so awesome; the pain was gone! Since then, if I put the stretcher behind me when I sit on the couch or a chair - on the lowest arch adjustment - it keeps my back from tightening up. I alternate between using it and not using it when I sit, and between that and laying it out on the floor, with a higher arch adjustment - it really helps keep my tricky back from tightening again! The design of the stretcher includes an open space in the middle that your backbone fits between and some raised bumps on either side that kind of knead and massage your muscles along your spine. So I use the stretcher as a, well, back stretcher - but I have also done sit ups, curls and leg lifts with it supporting my lower back on the floor as well as using it to support my back when I sit. Being able to adjust it and readjust it helps a lot! And it comes with a couple of bonus massage balls - which are great! I am partial to the roller-style ball for working out muscle kinks in my back and shoulder; my wife likes when I roll the knobbier rubber massage ball across her shoulder and up and down her back! Altogether, this has been a very effective back stretcher and, as far as I am concerned, a bargain cost-wise because it does so much, but didn't cost an arm and a leg! I cannot recommend this back stretcher enough!

I occasionally have issues with the alignment of my hip and lower back. My chiropractor recommended a lumbar support while driving and sitting. I tried another lumbar support with a cushion, but it was not effective. When I ordered this backrest, I was skeptical as it is not cushioned. However, the design is actually very comfortable and the nodules provide some massage as I drive. I have found this backrest to be very good. It has 3 different settings depending on how much curvature you need. I put mine on the lowest setting and it is working great! It is also extremely durable. I am a large man (240 pounds/109 Kilograms) and it is standing up to every condition in which I have tried it. It is also easy to assemble even without instructions. I heartily recommend this product.

It's amazing... relieves our back pain after about five minutes of stretching stretching on it..we put a towel on it because it is hard plastic but that being said, for my husband and myself, it's better that way because we know it's going to last for years to come.
