UpCircleSevenBack Roller & Yoga Wheel - Relieve Lower & Upper Back Pain & Stiffness - Therapeutically Stretch, Mobilize & Decompress Your Spine - Increase Mobility, Flexibility & Alignment

I will get gnarly lower back pains and have to really be careful how I move around. I'm somewhere in my 30's, about 170 lbs, and sit a lot for work. Anyway after my last "flare-up" I thought there had to be something to help workout my back as a preventive measure to either recoup faster, or to prevent future flare-ups. There are a lot of these wheels on the market, but this one appeared to have pretty good reviews.Now I'm not saying that I feel like a new person, or that everyone needs one of these or anything, but I think I can say I do notice a difference. At first I had a heck of a time just trying to keep balanced on the wheel. This isn't to say I'm clumsy or have poor balance, but when you have it on your lower back area and you entire torso and head are unsupported, your core really gets a work-out. Other people have pointed out that holding still on the wheel instead of rolling helps to really loosen the muscles in the area so I just kept up with it. Probably every 2-3 days I will roll and I try to position myself so I can rest my head on the couch so I can still have the wheel on my lower back for a couple of minutes, but rest my head as needed.Anyway my back has felt pretty loose and I haven't had any twinges or anything in the past several weeks so I would say, "so far, so good". As for the quality of the product, this thing is rock solid. I don't feel it deflecting under me and it isn't cracking or doing anything crazy. It still looks brand new and the "wood" one looks just as classy as it does in the pictures on here. It's probably plastic or something with a wood grain vinyl wrap around it, but regardless it looks nice and the outer foam with cork layer is holding up just fine as well.

Very sturdy and stable wheel that has been invaluable for heart-opening exercises!

I use the wheel to loosen up my back in order to get into different yoga poses. It is fantastic.

This wheel allows me to augment the stretches for the fish, the wheel, and the plow, by having gravity do the stretching. It’s really helped my back flexibilityMy only complaint is that it tips over too easily. The rolling surface needs to be wider, as wide as the diameter of the wheel, so it doesn’t tip and dump me on the floor. Otherwise I would have given it a fiveIt is sturdy and very helpfulI’m 67, btw and need help maintaining flexibility, but don’t need tumbles onto the floor--------------addendum: I weigh about 140lbs. The wheel hasn't deformed substantially under my weight. When my son, who weighs over 200 lbs tried to use it, it did deform a bit alarmingly

I use this product everyday and it has made a huge difference in my day-to-day pain levels. Around 2017, I hurt my chest (sternum area) lifting weights and have been battling this chest tightness and sharp pains when sneezing/coughing for the last two years. This is the best product I have found for helping stretch my chest out and it also just so happens to do wonders on my back! At first when rolling slowly on the wheel, my back would crack crack crack bringing a lot of relief. About 2 weeks later, my back cracks less and my chest pain has been greatly reduced! A few things to consider before purchasing:1. This is not a cure all. The source of my pain was from a lifting injury but poor posture at work was also contributing. Besides including this wheel in my routine, I also made a conscious effort to straighten my spine at work and take regular breaks to give my body a break from sitting.2. Go slow. Do not buy this and immediately start stretching for half an hour (like I did. Your back muscles will be sore). Start slow. Roll for a few minutes or find a starter yoga wheel youtube video. You do not want to accidentally injure yourself.3. I did give UpCircleSeven a 3 out of 5 on sturdiness. I had one for about a month and was using it when I heard a crack and looked to see that a hairline fracture had split on part of the wheel. It did not collapse or anything to hurt me. I contacted their support and had a new one shipped to me right away. Great service and the new one we have received has had no issues.Overall, if you are looking for back relief and spend a good chunk of time sitting, this is definitely worth a shot.Good luck with your health,Zach

Sturdy and specific - love it for the upper ribs under the shoulder while lying on your side!

My back never felt better. I had to be careful, because I just started excersicing again and have done yoga in a very long time. So when I lay on it, I almost cried, that it won't work. I just gave myself some support and took it easy, just a gentle roll back and forth every 15 minutes, half hour. Buy the 4th time, it felt like a million bucks. Seriously!
