 Perfect Targeted Treatment

  • TREAT the cause
  • RELEASE the ribs
  • RELIEVE the pain

The Backpod and its home program were developed in New Zealand specifically to counter the huge upsurge of pain and headache in people hunching over computers and smartphones.  So the Backpod is ideal for all problems which involve hunching.

It also specifically stretches tight rib cage joints, so helps with breathlessness and other conditions involving these, including costochondritis, chronic asthma and rib pain in pregnancy.

Used 1x and they won’t let me return it

This device exacerbated my pain. I wanted to return it, however, when I called they said I could not because it was used.

Backpod success

I have enjoyed using the backpod. I can feel it making a difference with my costochondritis. My husband uses it too to help stretch out his back.

Changed my life

Had a flare from costochondritis for 9 months and once I began consistently using the back pod, I finally found relief.

No Helpful

Weird, painful and completely unhelpful. Waste of money.

Amazing! Got exactly where I needed it to hit. One downside is that it puts a lot of pressure on the spinous processes making it difficult to use for 10+ min

Relief started almost immediately

My husband had a rib injury over twenty years ago, and he still had pain every time he worked hard physically. Once we figured out (through online searches, since the docs were no help!) what was going on, we got him a Backpod. Within a few days, he noted significantly less pain daily! It's not an instant fix completely, of course - He's got 20 years of muscle memory and tightness to correct, but the fact that he noticed a difference in pain so soon was amazing. He has made it part of his daily routine for over a month now, and is optimistic. I consider it a great investment in feeling better, both physically, and mentally: When you can feel progress, it takes off a lot of the stress that the "hopeless" pain was creating.

It really helps!!

We haven't used it long, but it has really helped in the time we have. It is a solution that seems to work for the symptoms of costochondritis and it has greatly alleviated those symptoms already. I would recommend it!

Hmmmmm.

Well, I have yet to understand how to use it correctly. I asked the local physical therapist for help but haven't heard back yet. Have tried on my own but need the booklet with easy instructions for people with some disability like me at this time............may end up returning the item.Not sure yet as I have some other physical issues going on involving the ribcage, ribjoints and sternum etc......

Backpod helps

The backpod worked great for me. I was amazed at how quickly it arrived as it was sitting on my doorstep within 24 hrs of ordering. I thoroughly read the directions for using it, and my backpain was alleviated after only 4-5 uses. I've had my issues over the years with lower back pain, but what I was dealing with since early this year was different. This time it was mid to upper back and the Backpod did the trick...I highly recommend!

It was awful

Terrible. It irritated my nerves so much in my thoracic spine over a month ago and I'm still using huge ice packs on back and on ribs. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with kyphosis or scoliosis. Now I'm waiting on nerve ablation which will take over a month to get. This sucks!

Skeptic...at first

I've been wearing braces to combat the upper back and neck tension from tech neck desk job at work. Was able to leave the brace off after using the pod a couple of times. I now try to do it twice a week and feel much less tension in the neck and shoulders.

So far so good

It’s been good so far! I have just upgraded from 3 pillows and a towel over the back pod to 2 pillows and no towel. It is definitely helping my Costo. I just had to make sure I am patient with myself and am consistent with it.

Little Green Pod of Surprise

It was easy to use and brought relief to a locked up back & muscles. I found it useful. It didn’t take long to use it without too much discomfort. Longer term, will see how it goes. I love the green colour which inspires and sense of ‘go’ and movement.

A great stretch

The back pod is way more effective at stretching my upper back than the roller I used to use. I look forward to using it at the end of a day at a computer.

Love it

I’ve really enjoy using this device. And it addresses so many symptoms we experience due to our computer driven lifestyles.
