Does the back buddy relieve lower back pain or just neck and upper back?

My daughter is a varsity athlete. She uses the Back Buddy on her neck, shoulders, upper back and lower back.

I use it mainly for my lower back. I do however feel a release of pressure all along my spine while inverted. It may well help your neck. I hope this has been of assistance to you.

Yes! People remark how comfortable it is to sit in. For the majority of people, the lumbar strap hugs the lower back exactly where it should. The mesh back provides support without being too rigid.

I also have mid and low back pain and it works best on the low back but also helps with the mid back. You are not inverted, no where near that. You just lay into it and it stretches your forward, gently. I also have an inversion table and use this more than the table. I really think you would be satisfied if you purchased one.

I usually sleep on my back in the beginning of the night, the sleep on my side for the rest of the time. I'm not sure if it trains you to sleep on your back but it sure makes sleeping on your back much more comfortable for your neck.

I have used the foam roller for that purpose and it does give a bit of relief. It helps stretch out the tight lower lumbar muscles. It does help

I use the back magic twice a day. I use the first level (there are 3 levels). I use it not only to stretch my lower back but also to stretch my thoracic (middle to upper back) due to stress or long sitting at work. Use a pillow for your head when you are using it in level's higher than 1 one or when you're doing the thoracic stretch. Roll off the product when you're done.

I purchased mine for neck pain and must say when I use it, it does work. Very pleased with this item and it can also be used for other body parts.

I suppose all pain is different for individuals, but for me neck pain often stems from computer work... I guess it starts in shoulders and upper back and moves up into neck. As this product really seems to relieve tension in upper back and shoulders, I say Yes it does. The neck pillow seems a bit too thick to me, and I often do not use it in conjunction with the mat. I really like doing the 'dead bug' yoga pose on the mat, but I should say that I prefer wearing a T shirt while using the mat.

Yes it does for the regular back, and yes there is bulging caused by it. Not enough to bother me though

I have both products. I tried this yesterday with the Back Magic. It does give good support while using the Back Magic, the problem is that to get a good stretch with the Back Magic I usually remove head support, making this useless for me.I would recommend using the devices separately because this product is recommended for at least 10-15 minutes and the Back Magic for 5.

It doesn't cause backache. A change in position from standing to sitting and anywhere in between is good ergonomics and promotes circulation and reduces sedentary positioning.

I bought this for my lower back problem causing Sciatica pains, difficult to move and sleep side ways. I was hoping this pillow will help in my condition. However, it does not have much to do in helping the back problem. In your case with neck and brain injury, that would be different story. I do not have same experience to guide you if it would be helpful to you or not. So, sorry.

No , it's not. This instrument helps to stretch spinal vertebra and let it to decrease compression on bone and disc. So discs have opportunity to regenerate and come back to normal position. As a result this instrument relief and prevent back pain inducing by disc displacement and shortening of spinal column and even lordosis.

I don't know about about back and shoulder pain but the Dr. reconmended it for my neck and it really helped with that.

This is used in physical therapy. You can use either side. It is use to engage your core muscles which lightens the load on your back and also forces you to sit up straight. You can also put it behind the small of your back when that gets uncomfortable. Also if you sit on the flat side and move in small circles with your feet flat on the ground, it lightly stretches muscles around your spine and works your core. Think of it kind of like a mini exercise ball Mrs. Catherine latimore. I've had back surgery and there is no way I could sit for longer than twenty minutes or so without it
