“I was super excited to get this product because I read so many great reviews, but I can't even bend the plastic enough to get it into the first notch. I tried so hard that I broke a blood vessel in my pinky finger!! I tried several times and then just gave up. Unless someone can give me a quick tip on how to get this thing bent, I will be returning it. Yes, I read the instructions, but they didn't say you had to be able to bend steel in order to bend this piece of plastic!!”
“I want to preface this by saying that I'm 23 and have never had serious back issues, I just get headaches from bad posture sitting at my desk all day and wanted something to help get rid of the tension. First of all, I found this thing really difficult to set up and to change the angle - you have to bend it with a lot of force and it kinda hurt my fingers. Once it was set up, I still wasn't a fan. After using it a few times according to the directions in the box, I just haven't gotten any relief from it. On the first setting, it feels like nothing. On the second, it makes my back feel weak and strained, not relaxed at all. When I sit up from it I almost feel like I injured my back lifting something, which scares me because like I said, I haven't injured my back before or had serious problems. This product is not only unhelpful, but actively made my back feel worse. I'm probably going to return it (only saying "probably" because I really don't want to go into a store to return it in person right now, my county is getting hit hard with covid; I might just take the L and throw it away.) I cannot recommend it to anyone.”
“Almost impossible to bend, I was unable to bend myself and had to get the help of my boyfriend who also struggled to bend it. I don't really feel any different in my back after laying on it. I get more of a stretch and feel the benefits more from my foam roller.”
