Lumia Wellness CostoBlock - Firm Thoracic Pod for Costochondritis Relief and Tietze Syndrome - Relieve Chest, Upper and Lower Back Pain

I place this right between or slightly below the line between my shoulder blades and it resets my upper back & has been the cure for my costochondritis. Anytime I feel a little ache in my front ribs or floating ribs iny back, I can focus on using this back pod & it goes away. The relief is amazing since I lived with the pains for a long time before finding this. Also, when I feel like my whole upper back is jammed down, this opens everything up. I do think it takes awhile at first so just try it everyday until it becomes second nature and a quick release and relief as you’re further along in healing.

I have had ankylosing spondylitis for 20 years, I have as a consequence costocondritis and calcified bursitis in my shoulders, kythoptis and forward head posture as well as sacrilitis... I have tried chiropractors, resistance band training and all manner of medications for example methotrexate, steroids and biolgics, i cannot have NSAID's due to having Crohn's disease. I used to lift weights, go to the gym every day and run. Then the pain took over and I was on and off using mobility scooters and walking aids. Recently the stiffness has been travelling up my spine to my neck, my costocondritis and extreme spasms in my flank have really been difficult to live with. I purchased this, it arrived today. So far I have placed this at various positions along my back with pillows to support my head. At first I was unable to raise my arms above my head. Then just my left arm. While my right would only go up enough to rest my palm on my forehead. I couldn't extend my right arm outwards only upwards in front of my face before I had to stop. It is several hours later and I have been able to raise both my arms above my head without the pain including rotation in that bad shoulder. I also tried the pillow beneath my sacral joint. I have had considerable pain and restricted movement in my right hip for years. I am hopeful that with use I can, stretch out my ribs, sacrum and hips. Strengthen my neck, and release the locked up joints and ribs that have contributed to my curved stiff and inflexible joints. As I say, ive had just one 30 minute try of this. I included some chin tucks whilst the item was between my shoulder blades, Followed by a few hours of gentle movement. I can see the benefit potential and am looking forward to more evenings like this one. I feel less pain and looser less clicks and much releived. If you have been struggling for multiple decades with stiff sore and tight joints and muscles which causes secondary pain such as costocondritis and spasms around your flank. Then I have this one night feeling the relief I am now, this is worth every penny! I am tempted to try again but I don't wish to agrivate any joints. Tomorrow I'll try for longer in each position and hopefully manage to raise both arms to give my back a full stretch. I don't usually write such long reviews but I felt that this was amazing and although I read the reviews no one had mentioned my conditions and the results of this on them. My partner even mentioned i was standing taller this evening. NB: mine arrived with 2 long slip resistant grippers on the bottom so reviews noting that is was slippy, fear not, this has been remedied

this is ok... its quite a bit harder than I expected... theres really no give to the plastic so its quite hard on the spine bones.. otherwise the size and shape are good to help stretch the back open

This is exactly the same as the back pod only a little less expensive. It's the same price as a visit to the pyshio. I use this any time my back starts to feel stiff or sore. It is really a good product. I definitely recommend getting one.

This was a good starting point, but I ended up finding a person reselling their backpod for cheap. Just buy that instead. This product is not solid enough to have a meaningful impact.
