Body Back Wood Back Roller, Spine Stretcher & Aligner, Ma Roller, Back Cracker for Back Pain Relief and Muscle Recovery, Manual Back Massager, Wood Therapy Massage Tool (15 inch)

This thing was recommended by the “Midwestern Doctor”. I have had other rolling back devices so was skeptical. they never did much. My husband had chronic lower back problems , so I took a chance on having another device that might not work and turn into clutter in our home. Wow !! Am I glad I did..First of all, the thing really works!! It works way better than the chiropractor..(no more copays)..paid for this thing, many times over! the other thing is , the solid wood is beautiful !! Nice enough to be left out for all to see and not become forgotten. No more moaning about back pain. It also helped my shoulder neck problems.🙂

I use this by laying on it and using my body weight to roll out muscles along my neck and spine and crack/adjust my spine. Best tool I've ever found for this purpose. And I've used a lot of massage and muscle tools. HUGE pain relief for tough tight muscles that won't budge.Well worth the price. Very well-made and solid, very sturdy wood. Could last a lifetime.Only drawback is minor: rubber ring on one end frequently rolls off with use. Easy to put back on but you need to check the tool and floor after each use so you don't lose it.

I use the roller everyday. Rollibity is grade A. Easy to use. Quality of massage and alignment of spine and neck is perfect for me.

Every once in awhile the tissue on both sides adjacent to my spine (left and right) starts to get stiff. I used a tennis ball before and placed the ball between my back and the wall. But it is not able to get into the target areas. The only way was to get a professional physical therapist to massage the stiffness out. Which costs a lot of money every week. This wood back roller works great and is able to get into those target areas I need. In a seated position, I place it between my back and the back of the chair. It really provides relief exactly where I want it, and I manually adjust it higher or lower. I have not tried to lay down over it. I will use it while I sit in a chair and lean into it with my back.

I used to love these things, and it's health benefits and tight muscle relief. Now I'm heavier & a lot older & less muscle tone. I thought the slightly more rounded design would be easier on my back but laying on it on a carpet is a bit too much for me. Maybe on a mattress. Maybe if someone else would roll it with milder weight. I honestly don't know if the sharper edges had a benefit, or not, but it is different from the original.But I can't blame this roller. I'm sure it would be fantastic for a younger person. The rubber around the ends keeps it on track as you scoot up & down.

An ER doctor recommended this for my guy, immediate results and he's so happy with it. Excellent quality item as well.

I bought this roller hoping it would be able to target my upper back and neck. The build quality of the roller feels great. It is a solid wood material and the rubber ends was a good thought to keep it from sliding on the ground. However, the polished finish was much too smooth and it didn't have enough traction to dig into my back. Instead, I feel like my back would just slip up and down off of it without any force really being applied to my muscles themselves. I had high hopes for this product, but it was overall letdown for the intended purpose.

This back roller is my new favorite thing!I exercise (cardio and weights), I stretch, I see a chiropractor regularly, and I get a therapeutic massage every two months. Unfortunately, I also work in a chair 6-8 hours a day, after a long driving commute. This means a very tight back and hip area.I purchased this to supplement my exercise and stretching routine. I also have very tight lower back muscles (natural default, unfortunately); keeping them flexible and stretched out is my solution to no back pain.I use my back roller for about 5 minutes, 2-3 times a day, depending on how tense I am feeling. I start with my middle back. I support myself according to the directions, and relax into the prongs. I hold myself there for 3 deep, slow breaths, then move the roller down, rinse and repeat. I hold the pressure for 5 breaths when I get to my lower back, and I use it safely all the way down to my SI joints (the dimples in the back of the hips). Then, I reverse the process, and work back up to my middle back.After my time with my back roller, I feel amazing. My entire body feels looser, and more balanced. My hip and leg muscles relax, and my lower back allows itself to unclench. Because of these results, I have started using it before and after a workout session; I have noticed improved results, both in performance and post-workout recovery, in just two sessions!If it seems too good to be true, just remember -- the muscles on either side of the spine support your entire human body in a vertical position, all day long. This back roller provides direct pressure, just like a masseuse would, and makes it very simple to self-massage areas of the body that are normally difficult to access.It does take some getting used to, and it's crucial to read the directions carefully and proceed as far as your body is comfortable with. With proper use, this tool can become invaluable - it certainly is for me! I am already looking for a more compact version to bring with me to work.
