LTUMHGCR Back Stretcher, Back Cracker for Lower Back Pain Relief, Multi-Level Adjustable Spine Board for Herniated Disc, Sciatica, Scoliosis(Black)

Update:After reading some of the reviews I wanted to address the "slipping" issue. Putting it together and adjusting the device can take about a minute of practice. You have to hold it in your lap with the gradual side of the arch against your waist and steep slope side away from so the device is pointing forward. It has two pieces. Pull the top part you lie on towards you until it bottom front edge moves over and you can feel one of the securing slots on the bottom piece. Gently release tension and slightly slide the edge of the top part just a bit side to side into the slot in the bottom. Give it a little push into the slot to make sure that it's IN THE SLOT- shouldn't be that difficult. If it's not securely in the slot, the top part can slip when you lie on it. If it's secure, it will not slip- I weigh 220 lbs. and have never had a problem. I hope this helps. Also, I use the device both directions for different lower back stretch effects. I believe though that the gradual slope is supposed to be pointed away from your waist, closest towards your feet.My lower back has been really hurting and tight over the last couple of years. Mostly from getting older and sitting at the office for hours during the week. I've tried multiple lower back stretches which sorta/kinda work but don't quite hit the spot. This stretcher is very straight-forward and pinpoints the exact muscles I need stretched just by moving it around to the right place on my back. I started off with the lowest of 3 settings and was able to completely relax into that setting after about 3-4 days. I'm on month 5 now and can use the highest setting with no problem. During the day, my back is not sore anymore and lower back pain is virtually gone. Device is well-made and the material is strong-I weigh 220 lbs and have no worry that it will collapse. I can't recommend this enough- game changer for me. Best idea is to start off slowly at the lightest setting and don't be too eager to get to the next setting. Just give your back a chance to adjust. Also, I think it would be prudent to show the Amazon pic to your physician or PT clinician first, if you're being treated for back issues, just to be safe.

As a tall guy (at 6 foot 7) I cannot thank Amazon enough for helping me to find this arch for stretching. It's EASY To use and understand, it's very durable, it's big enough even for me being a big guy. The first few times it's a bit weird, but then you get a hang of it and it is completely comfortable and releaves pressure in my back. Overall a great buy, I am very happy that I bought it. I usually don't post reviews as often but I have bought it 6 months ago when I hurt my back badly, and since then I have seen great improvement in my health, and that's why I decided to leave a review in hopes that it will help someone else as well

I’m a 58 year old male of average build. Ive been working out 4 days a week, hoping to alleviate Lower back stenosis.I’ve been working out regularly only a couple months with no relief of lower back pain, then I purchased this stretcher.There seems to be differing reviews on how to use it.My main point when using is positioning but I’ll address that momentarily.There are a number of videos on YT, from medical professionals discussing the use of stretchers. If used properly, they can give quite a bit of relief.Number one, There are three adjustable settings from low to high. Start with the lowest and make sure the adjustable slotted end is facing your head, not your feet.Number two, and most important, the main product video positioning of your back onto the product would only be correct for middle to upper back, not lower back.Basically, if you have lower back issues, make sure that when you lie onto the product, the main area of your discomfort is at the highest point,or slightly beyond, the Apex of the bend when lying back on it. I would also suggest having your knees bent slightly.Again, if you have lower back pain, you do not want to position your lower back(butt) at the start of the stretcher. Your back discomfort point should be at the apex (highest stretcher point) otherwise it will be extremely uncomfortable and make matters worse.If you are positioned correctly, this item has given me decent relief. 5 to 10 minutes of use at a time.

I didn’t get to try this for a while, but now I see the board pops out of its slots While lying on it for stretch

I'm large guy at 6'4" 280 lbs so back pain is something I've always had to deal with. I've always found it difficult to find a consistent way to help with my minor scoliosis (L3-L4) and times when I over exert myself with workouts, but after just 2 days of using this in the morning and evening I can feel a huge difference. The only thing that has helped my back this quickly were my 2 hour deprivation tank treatments which are far too expensive to do regularly, but with this I stretch out my back everyday in a safer manor than my trying to twist my spine like a pretzel to get a bit of temporary relief.
