Sports reviews of Arched Back Lumbar Stretcher Extender, Model# 83-4866V

Customer Review: WONDERFUL
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I loved this product so much that I bought two! One for my office and one for home. I am 49 years old and have back problems due to my work of bending over to treat my patients. I just take a few minutes out and lay on this device and I feel like I can go on for quite a while. Definitely a good investment for those of us who suffer from any form of back ailment and even for the younger generation. I'm sure this helps align your back to a more NORMAL alignment.

Customer Review: Relaxing stretcher
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

This is a pleasant, lightweight device for stretching your back. It's padded and not very intense, so don't expect chiropractic miracles. But if, like me, you find yourself slouching in front of your computer for hours a day, a few minutes on this can be a great relief.

Arched Back Lumbar Stretcher Extender, Model# 83-4866V

I have many dessicated (dried up) disks and quite a few herniated disks in my back, so I fight with pain all the time and see the chiropractor frequently.

I first saw a similar unit on a TV infomercial, but it was pricey. So I found this. At that time there were no reviews on this unit, but there were reviews on similar ones. I bought this one because it has the padding and I'm glad I bought it instead of the others without padding. It is light weight, portable, and esy to handle.

I have wiggled on this, turned it both directions, pulled my knees up (one at a time and both together), slid it up high and down low, put my hands above my head and down at my sides, bent my knees with feet flat on the floor, and stretched my legs out straight. I've also laid on my sides with it. I'm sorry to report that it didn't ever cause my back to crack or pop.

If I want my low back to pop, I sit on the floor with my right leg straight. I cross my left foot over my right knee and place it flat on the floor with my left knee bent and pointing toward the ceiling. Then I rotate my trunk to put my right shoulder/elbow on the left side of my left knee, and turn toward behind me with one hand braced on the floor and stretch. Then reverse. That will often cause my bones to pop.

This stretcher relieves my pain. I usually do stretching exercises first. Then I lay with the high point under my shoulder blades first, then under my low back second. The best part for me is when I hurt, any time of night or day I can get relief right away in just minutes without needing anyone else's help. I often lie on the stretcher first thing in the morning and last thing at night. I usually use it on the living room rug, but I've also used it both on the couch and the bed, so if you can't get on and off the floor easily you can still try this.

The tricky part for me is getting my muscles to let go and relax, and stay relaxed, so I concentrate on that. When you relax it puts your back into a mild traction.

When you are finished laying on this, roll to your side off it and then get up. If you try to sit straight up you may strain your back.

This unit is very flexible and I think if you experiment with it, you will most likely find a way to get some immediate pain relief. My son tried mine out and liked it so much he said he wanted one, so I got him one for his birthday and he was delighted. A friend of mine also tried mine out and liked it, and he's had back surgery.

If I lost mine would I buy another? You bet! I deffinitely recommend it. It's a simple but brilliant idea.
