I think this thing works.
I want to preface this review by saying that I've used this for three days. I'll update my review in a couple weeks.
I fell from my grandparents' porch and landed on my back when I was a child. They had an above ground basement, so I fell a pretty big distance. I also developed bad posture as a teen. I've had some back and neck pain my whole life. Two pregnancies with large babies probably didn't help, either. For the last few months, my pain became more serious, and even more so after beginning to sit at a desk for 8/9 hours at a time at the beginning of August.
I decided to order this back-stretching device on a whim. I do still have pain (It's only been a few days), but I've noticed that I can move my right arm more easily, which is crazy to me. Just a few days ago, I was in pain while wiping myself, and I'm still a young-ish person.
After laying on this device, I feel at peace and like I can get some sleep. I've had insomnia for a long time and hadn't realized it was spine-related. I'm hoping that this will eventually fix my hiatal hernia, as well. If you can't tell, my spine has caused a lot of problems for me. I'm sorry if my thoughts seemed jumbled, but I wanted to write this review after using the back stretcher again and before I fall asleep.
