BEIBYE- Upper Back and Headache Pain Relief - treatment for Costochondritis and Tietze Syndromeb-Help Back Stretcher, Posture Corrector

Cheaper than the original that it is molded off of. Very solid materials and has worked well. Seems to have made a significant impact in my Costochondritis when using it everyday.

It's well made. My trainer recommended this, and it is working. You simply lay on top of it with it between your shoulders, and it helps open up your shoulders. It's great if you type on a computer all day.

It works. From someone who has been dealing with costochronditis and tietze syndrome off and on for about a decade, this thing is a god send. That said, it's overpriced and can easily be made from items in your home. If you're in pain right now (and have ruled out heart attack, etc) then you can open your sock drawer and fold about 4-8 pairs of socks onto each other to make a big oblong football type shape. It's softer than this product, but it gets the job done just as well. Possibly even better. Lay on it between shoulder blades on the spine (of not too painful) and to right and left of the spine. Have pillows to prop head up and remove them one by one as needed for a deep stretch while still remaining comfortable. This is not medical advice, just retelling my personal experience. You could also experiment with a sports cup covered in a towel or pillow. But I've found that socks work best.

Trust me when I tell you this is exactly like the original version. I compared them both side by side. The hard plastic part is identical and the same strength. There is only a slight difference in the density of the green part, and I mean, only slight. The original-branded one (Backpod) is very hard and may look to be used upon close inspection like mine did. This version has a nicer feel to the green part and it looks more durable in comparison, as if it won't crack and break apart over the years. I used it last night for some myofascial release for sciatica and it really has helped me release pain and tension. This pod is still very firm and doesn't bend in on itself. I'm a heavy gal and put a lot of weight on it. You will be saving yourself money going with this one, but if you absolutely need a rock, go with the original.

I am a therapeutic massage therapist. I watched all the videos on the OG product. I was very intrigued and hopeful it might be helpful and a good recommendation for some clients. Honestly it was rough! Even with a towel on top. I acknowledge that it might be just the thing for someone (as reviews show), especially if they need it more than i do, but not sure I'd rec to clients. I think the over all concept and quality is very good...but maybe some softer material to lay on top (silicone?). I didn't buy the OG, but quality of this one seemed very good.

This very simple piece of rubber has helped my back pain a lot. It’s the right shape and hardness to help.

Have been using this daily but I haven't not felt any improvement. Seems to just give me soreness wherever I put it, on my back. Very very expensive to get no positive results. I'm going to take it to my doctor and physical therapist and see what they advise. I'm out a good chunk of money and still no relief.

This stretcher is great quality and works way better than I expected! I was having so much upper back tightness and rib pain from working at a desk and carrying around little ones. About 10 minutes every day for 2 weeks (in addition to some other stretching and foam rolling) helped me get my upper back loosened up after months of stiffness. Also useful to stretch SI joints.
