I bought this for myself but my daughter has taken it over. We use it one to three times a day and we both can see significant difference in the level of back pressure and pain. We have best results with the second level. Once you lay on it, it stretches the back from top to bottom. It is simple and easy and comes in a large storage bag. We could see a difference with first use! I was truly amazed at how quickly it worked but I believe using it consistently is the key to it really working on back pain. So happy with purchase!

This is great for back pain, usually I get home and lay on the floor to rest my back but with this device it takes it a step further supporting & stretching my spine. I start on the first level and then after 15 minutes move to the second level and add a pillow to keep my neck aligned. I weigh 260, if you’re wondering if it’ll hold your weight.

I've been having sciatic issues and could not wait to get this in the mail. The first level I felt a stretch, but after 2 minutes I no longer felt a stretch so went to level 2 and wow. It's so amazing how much of a good strech you get with this. I had to very slow lay back on it. It took a few days before I could even begin to think about trying level 3. Level 3 took me some time to lay on it. A large stretch. This has helped my back so much and my sciatica. I had so many people try this out for themselves and everyone has loved this and was shocked at how much something so small and simple can help. An awesome invention!

I used to have something similar to this that was made by a chiropractor friend of mine but I lost it in a moved10 years ago. I have been looking for something similar since I lost it. I was pleased to find this option, even though it is a little different. I like that the height of the arch can be adjusted. The plastic is pretty rigid and I had a hard time getting it to bend beyond the first level at first. I had to work with the plastic a little bit and it is still kind of difficult to do, but I can get it done. It feels really nice to lay on if you put a towel over it. The little plastic spikes do offer a massage but they are also pokey on the spine. After being hunched over all day feeding my newborn this is a very welcome relief on my back and posture.

I've used it irregularly. I have severe lower back pain due to a military-related injury. I wake up EVERY SINGLE MORNING, stiff as heck, with terrible lower back pain and sciatica pain because lower back pain just wasn't enough suffering lol.
I don't like my carpet so I don't like laying on it in any form, so I haven't used this daily. But the times that I have used it, I notice I have less pain the next day when I wake up. Sometimes, I have NO pain at all. I can't say that it relives pain on the spot; sometimes it lessens it, other times I don't notice any difference. But, It's affordable; I say TRY IT. You have nothing to lose but your back pain!

I threw out my back and was in an incredible amount of pain if I tried to bend in any direction.
This little thing was a lifesaver. I didn't want to spend hundreds to go to the dr. and get scans and then chiro/PT, so I gave this and a back brace a try in hopes that it would make the pain manageable. It ABSOLUTELY worked and now my back pain is less than what it was before it completely gave out!
Assembly does require some force after the first notch. The highest notch was pretty difficult the first few times I switched it, but I'm also 5'2", so that setting just made me feel like I was almost doing a complete back bend, but seemed okay for my 6' partner. I alternate between the lowest and middle notch.
The spikes on it is painful at all and provides some needed pressure. I think you can put in on your chair and use it that way. I've just been putting it on the floor and laying on it for 5-10 minutes at the beginning and end of the day.
The first time I used it, my back cracked in about 12 different places which kind of scared the crap out of me but I immediately felt so much better. I'm honestly in love with this thing and I'm pretty picky and have commitment issues. And yes- that's absolutely ridiculous because it's literally just two pieces of plastic. Now just be mindful that I never found out why my back gave out so will this be as life changing for you as it was for me? I sure as heck can't tell you, but if my 2 cents are worth anything, I'd say it's worth a try.
(I'm 100% not saying that this is an alternative to professional medical care and do not follow the example of someone who makes questionable decisions about her health)

I have been suffering from lower back pain for about 2 months, since injuring it while shoveling snow. After reading about some of the positive benefits people have felt after using back stretching devices, I thought it was worth trying myself. The positive reviews that I read about this product before purchasing are well earned. After a week of use, I am already feeling positive benefits myself. I am able to rest on it on the first 2 levels, but have been using the first level so as not to push my body too fast. I still have a bit of an ache, but I am not feeling the abrupt twinges that I had been feeling before. I have been combining using the back stretcher with some lower back yoga which I highly recommend doing as well. Whether or not you like the nubs on the stretcher is one of personal preference. I happen to like them and feel like they stimulate circulation and healing. If you don’t like them, you could always cover the stretcher with a towel or even a heating pad for warm relief. I will continue to use this stretcher as I feel that it is beneficial to me. It is nice to have a couple more levels to move up to when I feel like I need a deeper stretch.

This little gem of a health device has proven it's worth since I purchased it over a year ago.
It's so simple yet works amazingly well.
I am a landscaper, am 65 years old and use my body a lot in my work.
My back is still in great shape after 30 plus years of strenuous use but occasionally gets out of alignment.
After just a few weeks using the device I changed the setting to the second level of arc to increase the back stretch.
That was a turning point.
I just had to get onto the device (on the floor) and my back started to pop and crack almost instantly.
In just a few minutes my back was stretched out and un-kinked.
I still go to the chiropractor -- but far less often than I used to.

I try to use this daily for 10 minutes using the middle placement of the removable slat. Build yourself up to it because it can be a very intense and sometimes uncomfortable stretch; I sit at a desk all day and need something to keep my back and hips from tightening up so badly. This works well and despite my thoughts about it being gimmicky I think over time it's helped to keep my back looser and more limber.

I got two. One I use at home and one is for when I am driving. It does live up to the expectations in the ad. Customer service is also on point. They have sent me detailed informations about its usage via email.

This item was out of stock for a while, but well worth the wait. My husband ordered multiple support cushions in softer & thicker material and all work well as intended including this stiff looking device. We tried to use this back support on flat and soft surface and it works great every time. It provided tremendous relief to back spine. Recommend! A+++

I've actually owned this for 6 years and have used it as needed. Recently I tweaked my back again and used this along with typical floor stretching and what an incredible difference it has made. I now use it on its highest setting everyday for just a few minutes. You need to learn how to relax your hips and let gravity stretch you out. I sold my inversion table a few years ago and have never regretted it. This device gives me a better quality of life.

Perfect! Solid, comfortable, I can not do without it!
A little difficult to adjust because the plastic is hard but at least it does not move!
