Backpod

So, the BackPod is basically a piece of hard plastic covered with a piece of softer silicone. On the surface, it is extremely expensive for 2 pieces of plastic. Due to an old but serious injury, I have a lot of tension in the middle of my back between my shoulder blades. My chiropractor can never adjust this part of my back given the tension that's built up over the years. I hesitated to buy the BackPod but decided it would be worth the price if it provided even a little bit of relief. And, wow, does it ever feel awesome. It is like receiving an acupressure treatment. My body relaxes and opens up. I get a zen-like feeling. It is extremely relaxing and pain relieving. After several weeks of use, I have been able even to adjust my own back, and when I go to the chiropractor, he's been able to get a lot more motion in that part of the spine. I use the BackPod whenever I start to feel the tension start to build. It provides an refreshing relief after prolonged computer use, so I reward myself for working hard by taking 15 minute breaks on the BackPod. It also really opens up the chest and has improved my posture. Combined with sessions on a Concept2 rowing machine at the gym, my posture is overall quite a bit better and I feel generally much better. So the price is quite expensive but the therapeutic benefits definitely make it worthwhile for me. The only negative I can say is that my wife, who has a problem around her scapula and shoulder, tried it several times, which resulted in dislocated some back ribs and causing quite a bit of pain. She had to go to the chiropractor to have those ribs set back in place. So my experience has been extremely positive but my wife won't go near it again. I really do think it comes down to the individual and their underlying condition. That said, I do recommend everyone with back pain to give it a try at the very least.

At first sight the Backpod may seem a little expensive for what it is, but after trying out all sorts of cures for Costochondritis I decided that for less than the cost of two physio sessions I would give it a try. I'm extremely glad that I did as it has helped me enormously. A little bit of background ... I'm a 58 year old female. All my life I have kept myself fit and healthy. Before November 2016 I was a regular at the gym, where I did a variety of strength and aerobic based exercises, I was a keen hill walker and led an active lifestyle. In November I went to my GP complaining of pain below the left rib cage. Over the course of several months gastric or heart related sources of the pain were ruled out through various tests (ultrasound, chest X-ray, ECG) and various painkillers were prescribed, which didn't really get rid of the pain and some had unpleasant side effects. Finally in May 2017 I was diagnosed with Costochondritis. I was advised not to lift or stretch and to rest as much as possible. I hadn't heard of Costo before, and neither had family and friends, so I started researching on the internet. I tried various recommended lotions and potions and various things like anti-inflammatory diets, and exercises, which didn't seem to give much relief to my pain. Not wanting to aggrevate my condition, or have any setbacks, the Backpod appealed to me as I could take things at my own pace. I started using it daily in July and it has certainly helped to free-up my ribcage. You simply position it under your back then lie back on it, starting with three pillows under your head, and over the weeks progressing down to zero pillows. It's September now and I have reached zero pillows in nine places on my back for a minute at a time. This means that the maximum time spent is less than ten minutes a day, which anyone could easily fit into their daily routine. Over the weeks I've looked forward to using it for the relief it gives. Don't expect results if you don't persevere every day. After this week I'll be using it for weekly maintenance only. I'm not 100% back to normal but I feel that massive progress has been made and I feel very positive that things will continue to improve. For example, as pathetic as it sounds, a few months ago I couldn't slice bread, chop veg, lie on my side, reach up, carry even the smallest weight, walk with arms swinging or drive without instant pain; now all of these things are possible. I'm extremely grateful to the New Zealand inventor of the Backpod, Steve August, for his helpful advice and encouragement, both before and after I purchased it. He suggested that a combination of Sports Massage treatment with the Backpod would be a good combination. He was right. Steve has made YouTube videos about using the Backpod (it also comes with a useful instruction booklet too) and his explanation of Costo makes sense to me.

Ich nutze den Bodystance Backpod inzwischen seit 6 Jahren. Gerade beim typischen nach vorne gebeugten oberen Rücken durch viel Bildschirmnutzung möchte ich ihn nicht mehr missen. Hier meine Erfahrungen im Detail. 🧩 1. WAS ES IST UND WIE ES WIRKT Der Backpod ist ein fester, gewölbter Dehnkörper, auf den man sich mit dem oberen Rücken legt. Er dehnt gezielt den verspannten Bereich der Brustwirbelsäule und des Brustkorbs. Bei mir löst genau diese Dehnung das steife, verspannte Gefühl im oberen Rücken zuverlässig, und das seit Jahren. 🧘 2. ANWENDUNG Die Anwendung ist einfach: auf den Boden legen, den Backpod unter den verspannten Bereich platzieren und einige Minuten entspannt darauf liegen. Wichtig ist, nicht bis in den Nacken und nicht in den unteren Rücken zu gehen. Am Anfang ist es etwas ungewohnt, aber das gibt sich schnell, wenn der Brustkorb beweglicher wird. 💺 3. IM ALLTAG MIT VIEL SITZEN Weil ich viel am Bildschirm sitze, ist der Backpod mein idealer Ausgleich. Schon wenige Minuten regelmäßig helfen mir, der vornübergebeugten Haltung entgegenzuwirken und mich wieder aufrechter und freier zu fühlen, auch beim Durchatmen. 🛠️ 4. LANGLEBIGKEIT UND VERARBEITUNG Und hier zeigt sich die Qualität besonders: Nach 6 Jahren Nutzung ist mein Backpod noch immer stabil und voll funktionsfähig. Er ist hochwertig verarbeitet, kompakt und sofort einsatzbereit. Diese Langlebigkeit spricht für sich. 🎯 FAZIT Ein durchdachtes, langlebiges Hilfsmittel, das mir seit 6 Jahren zuverlässig bei verspanntem oberen Rücken und schlechter Haltung durch viel Sitzen hilft. Bei konkreten medizinischen Beschwerden wie Kostochondritis, Tietze-Syndrom oder Skoliose würde ich die Anwendung vorher ärztlich oder physiotherapeutisch abklären, da ein solches Gerät eine Behandlung unterstützen, aber keine Diagnose oder Therapie ersetzen kann. Von mir 5 Sterne und eine Empfehlung.
