Back Stretcher Back Cracker Board Pain Relief Device w Targeted Acupressure Lower and Upper Back Muscle Pain Relief with 4-Level Adjustable Back Stretcher for Alignment and Decompression

Does not help the back

This definitely gets a good stretch in. Doesn’t pop my back like I need but I’m pretty stiff so I didn’t exactly expect it to. But I do love the stretch.

I found this product to be very useful with stretching out those sore back muscles. Mostly easy to put together and adjust as needed. Overall, good find and I recommend.

I really wanted to like this product as I do have some back issues. I use a yoga ball for stretching my back but wanted something more curved. The main issue is that the top piece is just not strong enough to not collapse when I’m lying on it. I weigh 195lbs and tried to lay on it gently as per the instructions. When I partially lay on it, it works fine but when I lay flat the top piece can’t hold it structure. There are good points on it that help with putting pressure on certain points on my back. It’s just okay.

I get a pinched nerve in my lower back that occurs while I'm sleeping that's becoming a nightly occurrence. I thought maybe my bed was causing the issue so I got a new one but nope! I stopped letting the kids/dogs crawl into our bed because that definitely makes it worse but I still wake up most mornings with sharp pain on the right side of my lower back. It will gradually go away over the course of the morning but it actually makes just general getting up/moving before then incredibly difficult. I'm 35 so a solution is pretty critical here, because my god I'll immobile by the time I'm 40.Enter this stretcher... THANK YOU!!! This is the one thing that has given me true relief. I've tried plenty of stretches & yoga poses, which yes, can help but initially I need the pressure/stretch combo just to make it possible to do them. I absolutely love this thing, I've used it every morning & will absolutely continue to do so. There are 3 levels & I find it helpful to use all 3, gradually increasing as the pain lessens. It's easy to adjust the levels by applying equal pressure to both sides while changing the level. I'm able to angle & pinpoint exactly where the pain is & apply the targeted pressure that's crucial to relieve the tension. Now instead of spending hours in significant pain, I have a little routine that takes about 15 minutes. I'll do a few more stretches after using this & I'm good to go! Moving around like normal!Needless to say, I'm incredibly grateful for this thing; I cannot advocate for it enough! If you're thinking about getting one for yourself, think no further- get it!

I can see how this item could be useful but everyone in my family has tried and it it’s only cracked one or our backs once. I tried to use it just to stretch out my spine and it wasn’t very comfortable or helpful. I don’t see myself using it very often.

This thing does nothing for me. It has some adjustment, but none of them are steep enough to give my back much of a stretch or crack or anything. Don't recommend.

I’ve seen these advertised before and having lower back pain I figured what do I have to lose? It turns out not much really. The unit comes flat and the part that makes the arch has some flex to it. Slot it into the base in one of three positions and then you lay down on it slowly to stretch your back out. It is pretty effective for working out tight muscles. I’d recommend starting on the lowest setting and then seeing how it feels. I started too high up and immediately regretted it!Time will tell how durable this is but for me it’s been a life saver in combating my back problems. Would recommend.
