This item looked interesting so I thought I'd give it a try. It arrived in just a few days, and I pulled it out of the box along with the one-page instruction sheet. The instructions aren't too extensive, but give you a general idea of what to do. In a nutshell, you lay on it. :) So I put it on the floor and laid on it like in the picture. It really didn't look like it would do much, I guess because the arch didn't seem that high- but boy was I wrong- this thing really stretches your back! In fact its downright deceiving how much of a stretch one actually gets. But that's not the end of the story. I, like others, found several things out right away. First, you'll need a pillow to support your head. I don't know how the lady in the picture is able to tolerate that position- maybe its one of those CPR dolls you practice on? Without a pillow, your head tilts back and can make you a little dizzy. A therapist told me that this is because your vertebral arteries...

Notaro (Western New York) - See all my reviews    Bought this product a few days ago from this company through Amazon. Delivery was quick, and price is great. There are a couple others I saw on Amazon that look similar, but appear to be constructed of bare metal, and are over three times the price of this one. This one's shape is similar, and it is padded and professionally upholstered. For 20 bucks, I figured I'd try it. The instructions are a little vague, you're supposed to lay on your back, with this device under your back, and stretch out with your hands over your head, yet it does not say what to do with your legs. (There is a picture that shows a woman with her legs outstretched as well) however, I found it fairly uncomfortable to have legs outstretched, almost seemed that legs should be bent at the knees slightly. Just lying and stretching out didn't seem to help me at all and at first, I was disappointed. (I had a dull pain on the lower right side of my back, which I often get, and after this first use, found no change in my...

This review is from: Jobar International JB5358 Therapeutic Neck Support (Health and Beauty) I wasn't sure which neck support would be best for my neck pain, so I bought both of them. Both products have their plus & minus but on balance I prefer the Therapeutic Neck Support by North American Healthcare over the Dr. Riter's Real-Ease Neck & Shoulder Relaxer. The TNS by NAH looks like the NECK AND BACK STRETCHER Other Get Organized products so they may be the same. I don't know. http://www.amazon.com/Get-Organized-Therapeutic-Neck-Support/dp/B001L7NV02/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1260581099&sr=8-11 The TNS is more stable, it doesn't rock as easily as the Real-Ease Neck Relaxer. It is also a bit firmer (ie the cushion feels like it supports the normal lordotic curvature of the cervical spine). The downside for some may be that it may feel too firm, but that firmness is what set it apart from the Real-Ease product. After 15-20 minutes of resting on it, I did feel less pain in my neck. The Real-Ease is quite soft, very... Read more Help other customers find the most helpful reviews  Was this review helpful to you?  Report abuse | Permalink   Comment (1)
