ChiFit Lumbar Back Pain Relief Device, Lumbar Back Stretcher, for Lower and Upper Back Massager and Support,Lumbar Support for Office Chair (Green)

I bought this as a sufferer of chronic back pain, hoping it would help manage the condition. I have to say I am very happy with the results. The first time I used this was a bit difficult and quite uncomfortable... I think it was due to years of poor posture, lack of stretching, and a weak core. It was tough to be on it even for the recommended 5 minutes... even on the lowest setting. However I kept at it, and started using this daily (sometimes twice in a day), and I've noticed a SIGNIFICANT reduction in back pain along with improved flexibility. Some days I'm able to spend ~15 minutes on it in one session - which sets me up nicely for a day practically free of pain. I almost always use this on the 2nd setting (there are 3) as it is the most comfortable for me, while still allowing me to feel the stretch. I usually use a pillow under my head for added comfort. Be aware that it is a bit difficult to roll off of it at the end of your session (this is the recommended way to get off of it - don't try to sit up right away). Your back will be sore and you'll experience some discomfort - however I look at that as a small price to pay for several hours of relief. My back is doing a lot better (knock on wood) and I believe this product really helped accelerate the healing process. I can't recommend it enough.

I have back pain from a car accident about a half-year ago. At the insistence of my lawyer, I saw a chiropractor 3 times a week for 3 months. It not only didn’t help but seemed to make things worse. I was to the point of having difficulty getting out of bed and other mundane tasks which encouraged me to look for other low cost, non-pharmaceutical, non-surgical methods of relief. I purchased this item thinking, “what have I got to lose?” I followed the directions starting on the lowest setting and tried the different positions in order from the least to the most stretch. It didn’t do much but I’ve always been flexible so I put the apparatus in the second setting and assumed the least stretch position. I found it a bit difficult to relax but when I did… 3 gentle pops, like my vertebrae just slid into a better place. I felt good enough to do some housework that had been eluding me. The instructions say to use the stretcher twice a day. I was s bit reluctant as I didn’t want my improvement to regress, but I did it again that evening and got a few more gentle pops. I slept more comfortably that night and awoke feeling better with much more range of motion than I had had in months. Two days with this product was better than 3 months of chiropractic appointments for me. I would give 5 stars for results, ease of assembly, weight, and portability; however, if I am very picky, I would prefer to have some kind of removable/washable cover for the unit to ease in cleaning and keep my long hair from getting caught in the holder tabs at the top. Definitely use it in comfortable clothing with flat seams. It is plenty sturdy enough for my body weight (about 150 pounds). It is easy to change from a low setting to a higher one, but the arch tends to stay too bent to stay in the tabs if the user tries to adjust down. The pad for the spine is nice but could be more cushioning. The hardest part of using this is figuring out exactly where to put your tailbone.

Love this. Helps to just relief some tension when needed

This item is more or less useful once you get it assembled. I had an extremely difficult time trying to put this together. It took several days before I could get it assembled. I have arthritis in my hands, so that made it even harder. Once I got it put together, I had a serious struggle situating my back where it needed to be in order to be effective. Maybe you should offer this item with the option to be already assembled.

This device is the absolute best device I have tried. I have cervical spinal stenosis, thorax and lumbar issues. I start with placing the device in the thorax area. I lay on it for a short while, breathing, like yoga breathing, them slowly moving the device downwards to the lumbar area, and all the way down to the lower back. Inch by inch and step by step I treat my entire spine and the muscles. I started out on the lowest level, and it hurt a great bit, so I could not lay on it for too long, a few seconds was all I could take. Now I can easily do 30 seconds on the highest level. In addition to stretching, it seems like it is also working a bit chiropractic. I feel and hear my joints crack and adjust, just like if a chiropractor was working on them. Even the stomach reacts, by rumbling. I get up slowly, and stretch my beck the opposite way before getting all the way up. I also lay on the side on the device. I have a deep pain somewhere around my shoulder blade area. It is so deep within in that I cannot locate it to massage it. It pinches and burns all the way out in my arm. When I lay on the side, I slowly move my body to find the spot, and I stretch it as much as I can bare. It has helped tremendously! It's almost unbelievable. One last thing I do, is my neck. I turn the device sideways, position my neck on it, and turn my head side to side, holding on each side for a few seconds (or more) at a time. It stretches the side of my neck, and it somewhat adjusts the joints as well.

Cannot put together. Physically not able because it is so stiff and hard.

I have a congenital back problem that I get treatment from a chiro and have been for years. As I have gotten older my back was started to bother me more and the adjustments don't get the same results. My chiro told me I don't have the curve in my back that should be there along with the other problem. He told me you can lose the curve sitting too much or being on your feet much thru the years. My back pain is worse and more often since I am in school and sitting more. My chiro told me to put a towel rolled up behind my back daily to try and get the curve back and stretch that area. I tried that and it helped but I didn't feel it was doing enough. I was looking something more and found this device. I thought it would work better than a roll if it worked at all. Well I can say I am happily surprised how well it works for me. I feel better when walking around and I have none or very little discomfort in my lower back every day. The first time I tried it I thought the lowest level wasn't going to be enough so I tried the second level. It turned out that was too much initially so I went back to the first level. Now I am at the second level and I can tell such a difference in my back. I don't know if the curve is coming back but my back all over feels less tight and I move much better. I use it on the floor daily but I also use is in my chair when I'm sitting and relaxing. I am shocked at how much better my back feels even when sitting. I still see the chiro but between visits my back feels better than it has in years. I would highly recommend but I think you need to use it often to get results. Very glad I made the purchase. Hope it helps you like it has for me!

I like the fact that's easy to assembled and easy to use. Has 3 levels I'm doing level 1 for a couple weeks but already try level 2 but I can't do more than couple minutes. On level one I'm fine up to 20 minutes at the time. Really stretch your back so careful standing just roll to ur side and wait a minute before standing. Also you need to breath deep while laying and I cover my eyes to avoid distraction. I have 3 herniated disc lumbar and did ozone/oxygen therapy in new jersey with Dr bleiweis so the helped to reduce size of disc so I don't have sharp pain like toothache anymore but since procedure now I have been arthritic so this things helps to gain space around I don't like is the plastic could be heat sensitive and lose shape I try to use it in my car since came with a strap to attach it but I live in Texas so leaving in the car for 30 minutes at 100f degrees was more than enough to mess up the shape. I place it back in ac environment and Harding it again. I guess is only good for indoors use and not to be left in the car since temperature affects it. The blue part the cushions your spine came off cause the heat. But now in cold environment is back to normal. Just be aware is not returnable so you taking the risk. Overall ok for 20 bucks. The level 3 dam you gave to wait a while cause The one I can not do it so far. Is yoga professional level. Keep the good workup I'm 210 pound 6 foot and is resistance to my body up to know not sure about other weights check with company Excellent customer care if you have any trouble they worked it out with you no problem updated august 2019!

That's is awesome

The instructions were hard to understand as they were probably done via Google translate, but after checking how to build similar products it was a lot easier to put together, then all it takes is moving it between settings, which isn't difficult.

Davvelo funzionale per chi come me ha spesso dolori alla schiena, certo nulla di grave però dopo giornate lavorative pesanti passare 5 minuti qui sopra è molto piacevole e utile per allietare i dolori. Lo consiglio a tutti che come me dopo una giornata di lavoro hanno la schiena con dolori.

Si vous souffrez de lombalgie au niveau L4 et L5 ça soulage vraiment, 5 mm par jour sur tapie de fitness ou sol dur.
