Bodi-Tek Back Magic

Well you'd never think such a simple piece of kit could work so well, it really is surprising.It's just two pieces of thick black plastic, one of which slots into the other to give a raised arch. There are 3 available slots so you can make the arch very shallow (position 1) or increasingly arched in positions 2 and 3. They recommend you start in position 1.Basically all you do is slot it into position 1, then sit down on the floor and pull the broad base towards you until it rests against your back. Lean back and lie flat so the plastic arch lies under the arch of your back, and try and relax so your spine arches around it gently and naturally. Lie there for one minute and you're done! Repeat once in the morning when you get up and once before you go to bed. Takes no effort, but it's working for me.I've had a damaged lower back since I was about 14. It's fine but every now and then it will "go" ... something simple and unexpected, like a sneeze, will put my back out and then it takes me several very painful days before it starts to settle. Slipped disk, prolapsed vertebra, ruptured disk, trapped nerve - they call it a lot of things, they are all the same thing. Every now and again my weak cartilage disk will rupture: the soft chewy middle bit burst out of the tough shell where the weakness lies, and that soft centre presses on the spinal nerve, and down I go, squeaking in agony! Takes a few days to repair itself and stop pressing on the nerve.I've been to a chiropractor who has helped, firstly by clicking my back (which I didn't like but I suspect is probably a good thing) and thereafter he kept putting me in traction for up to 20 minutes per session, which was uncomfortable but felt like it was doing the right thing by aligning my spine correctly. This little gadget does what the traction does, but in a much easier way.What it basically does is to keep training your back to get into its correct posture, instead of slumping or slouching, which is what we tend to do normally.The surprising bit is how quickly it seems to work, given that the most I ever do with it is to lie back for up to 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes at night. Not much effort in that work-out!I'm fairly quickly on to position 2, but it took me a week or more before I could fully relax in that position. The arch is much higher than position 1, and I found I was twitching or spasming a little, and couldn't get my back to fully relax around the curve of the plastic. However, after about a week, it did relax, and now it's easy and actually pleasant. I can just lie down on it, close my eyes and relax for 5 minutes. I've never lain there for more than 5 minutes, and they don't suggest you need to.Getting off it can be a slow business though! They recommend rolling off it to one side, and I either do that or very slowly and gently pull myself up (hands under my knees) to a sitting position. However you do it, you've got no choice but to do it slowly and carefully as your back feels like it's seized up in the arched position! But that feels like it must be working properly, so I kind of like that.I don't think I'll want or need ever to try position 3, as I'm not a supple guy and I'm no spring chicken (60 in just over a year) although I'm reasonably fit and I think my bones are fairly good. No osteoporosis that I'm aware of, just this damn backache. And that damn backache has gone away now, and I'd like to think that regular use of this little gizmo will keep it functioning better and stop - or at least delay or minimise - my back going again.So far it's doing well. Only been 3 months, but I've not felt any twinges or aches so far, and I'm happy at that. So much so that I bought two more for two of my friends who also have bad backs, and we'll see if it helps them too. At this price there really isn't anything to lose, so it's definitely worth giving it a try if you've got an aching back or bad posture or like me have both of the above plus you slip a disk periodically. Even if it just delays me slipping a disk for a few months or eases general backache, it will be worth it. It does recommend checking with your doctor etc if you do have a damaged back or osteoporosis or something which may be easily damaged by lying over an arch.One of my 2 friends, who has had a bad back since he was young, said he uses it in a chair on position 1 to slip down behind his back and help him sit up straighter. I haven't tried this and to be honest I don't think I can be bothered to do so. As it stands, it stays on my bedroom floor in the corner of the room and its dead easy just to slot it together and lie on it for a couple of minutes before getting up, unclipping it and carrying on with life.Anyway that's my 2p worth (or 2d worth as it was then). So far, I do recommend this thing, hope it keeps working for me

If you are looking at this a miracle cure for back pain you will probably be disappointed, but if you are looking for something to improve pain when it occurs this is wonderful. It is like when you wake up in the morning and have a good stretch but so so much better. This is only thing that has helped relieve some of the pressure on my back.I use the second setting for a minute or two to get a really good stretch, then use the first setting for about 10 mins. I just read my book when I'm on it and I actually find it very comfortable as opposed to actual exercises which I always find excuses not to do.When first assembling it it is very stiff, and I wondered how I would ever get it up to the second setting, but using it seems to loosen it off and now I have no trouble with it.My only warning would be to listen to the instructions when it says not to do over-do it. I got so comfortable lying on the second setting I stayed there for about 20 mins, then an hour or so later my back was on fire lolEven if it doesn't solve your back pain completely it feels amazing and is definitely worth the money, just give it a go :)

My hubby swears this is a life saver for his back. Easy to use.

I pulled some muscles in my back pretty badly about a year ago and while I recovered over several weeks, I was left with definite problems with my back afterward. Sitting in my chair at work (while adaptable) was painful and I couldn't sit normally, I had to twist my body so I would sit in it on my side. Worse was when I was driving for any length of time, usually an hour, where my back muscles would be in spasms and I couldn't lean the seat back to ease it. And when I got out of the car it'd be hell to bend back into shape. Clearly something had to be done.I looked into back treatments and saw this product offering relief for twenty quid. If it works only half well it'd be worth the money from the relief.The item comes in two pieces, the stand and the flexible piece of plastic that makes up the curve. Setting up is easy, the flexible part is bent into the slot and stays firmly there. Then you put it on the floor and lie down upon it.It doesn't look like much but I immediately felt things when I lay down on it. It's painful at first and I wouldn't recommend more than a minute or two on it (they recommend a maximum of five minutes, twice or maybe three times a day). I didn't notice too drastic a change the following day. I did it in the morning, this time managing the full five minutes, and then in the evening, managing about three and a half minutes. Then it was the third day and I began to notice a lack of stiffness in moving about. At home I didn't immediately rush to the sofa to lie down but sat on the chair and didn't find it painful. Getting out of bed wasn't hard either. The dull throbbing that was in my lower back wasn't there anymore.A month after buying this I can say this product works, really works. Driving is no longer an issue, sitting in my office chair isn't an issue, I continue to use this every day though now it's just five minutes in the evening and I don't have any more back pain. It's an amazing product and I definitely recommend this product to people with back pain, for twenty quid it is an inexpensive and invaluable way to treat your back.

Nach schwerem Verkehrsunfall, mit Lendenwirbelbruch, und weiteren "Annehmlichkeiten", das erste Teil - Leute ich verdiene für diese Lobhudelei echt null, mit dem ich mir dort wenigstens selbst etwas Linderung verschaffen kann, wo die Weißkittel vollkommen vergeigt haben.Ich rücke es nicht wieder raus, und wenn es Bekannte mal nutzen möchten, dann nur hier bei mir daheim. Das Twil geht nicht mehr aus der Hütte hier.Text an Freundin, Heilpraktikerin TCM:《Das ist das angesprochene Teil!Wo mir bisher weder fuc£!¥g Weißkittel noch Schmerzmittel halfen, reduzierte dieses Ding bereits nach 3 Minuten die Schmerzen um ca. 50% und in den folgenden 2 Minuten um den Rest der Schmerzen.Man sollte ehedem rund 5 Minuten darauf liegen. Macht es anfangs Probleme, kann man sich allmählich herantasten, durch zeitliche Steigerung.Sind nach 5 Minuten die Schmerzen kaum mehr wahrzunehmen, beginne ich das Teil mal mehr in den unteren mal mehr in den oberen Lendenwirbelsäulenbereich zu verschieben und leichte seitliche Bein- und Fußausstellungen/-Ausrichtungen vorzunehmen. Man glaubt nicht was hier so alles auf einmal laut knackt, zaxk-knack, wieder ist irgendein Block fort.Die Erfinderin Marjolein Brugman, gibt mir endlich ein materiell nicht billiges aber wohlgemerkt total preiswertes, trotzdem sehr wirksames Selbsthilfemittel zur Hand.Da meine Probleme von rund 1 ½ t. Aufschlagsgewichtskraft des losgerissen Bikekoffers in meinen noch relativ gut muskulierten Rücken entstanden, existiert auch jetzt eine halbwegs taugliche Muskel-/Sehnenaumbauung, um die Wirbelsäule herum.Es kann gut möglich sein, dass dieser BackMagic genannte Rückenhelfer, bei älteren und/oder untrainierteren Personen für nicht ganz so lang andauernde Abhilfe sorgt, wie bei meinen rund 60 bis 120 Minuten, weil deren Wirbel mangels muskulären Gegendrucks schneller wieder aus der Fuge wandern, dennoch glaube ich, dass bei ganz vorsichtigem Muskel-Aufbautraining sogar noch viel mehr an schmerzfreier Zeit erreicht wird.Ich bin nach bald 2 Jahren, wegen 24 h unabstellbarer nonstop Schmerzen, im Stehen, Gehen, Liegen, Hocken, ganz besonders Sitzen, extrem depressiv und bald Langzeitinvalide geworden.Heute war es zwar noch kein biblisches 《Ôh, ich kann wieder vollständig restauriert gehen!》, doch mit den Hundegirls war ich heute 2 h fast beschwerdefrei auf Spaziergang - ein Erlebnis das es seit Oktober 2018 nur einmal erst gab, jedoch unter vorangegangener mehrtägiger Schmerzmittelhöchstdisierung, als 《Mister Walking Overdose》.Heute hatte ich 2 Ibuprofen 400 des 06.00 h morgens, wir sind aber erst gegen 14.00 h losgedüst.Marjolein Brugman empfiehlt die Anwendung kurz vor oder kurz nach längerer Belastung des Rückens. Ich mache beides, denn es dauert nicht lange, bedarf außer festem Liegeuntergrund keiner weiteren Umfeldbedingungen, so what!?Verwendet werden kann das Gerät nicht nur für den eben angesprochenen LW-Bereich, sondern die gesamte Wirbelsäule, hoch bis zum Schulterkreuz. Allerdings werde ich immer meinen Doc fragen, wo Vorsicht geübt werden muss. Für die HWS ist es ggf. eher schädlich.Gekauft habe ich das Teil bei Amazon und werde diese Message hier in meine Rezension setzen - das ist der Grund für diesen umfangreicheren Text hier.Die Gebrauchsanweisung ist für viele sicher sehr einfach verständlich, wer jedoch kein Englisch beherrscht wird aufgeschmissen sein, darum schreibe ich eine deutsche, sobald ich kann und füge sie der Rezension hinzu. Später fertige ich eine in Französisch und wenn mal zuviel Zeit ist in Spanisch und Schwedisch - falls ich Letzteres nach 30 Nichtsprechen noch hinbekomme.Das Teil hat meine dankbare Unterstützung verdient und künftige Nutzer*innen ebenfalls. Am liebsten würde ich es sogar selbst verhökern, denn hinter dem Produkt stehe ich vom ersten überraschenden Erfolgserlebnis an.Was mir besonders noch auffiel:Sind die ersten Schmerzen weggedrückt, findet man selbst weitaus schneller die neuralgischen Auslösepunkte, um dann vorsichtig intuitiv und relativ gefahrlos, durch eigene, extremere Bewegungsformen, physiologisch-mechanische Riegel und Blöcke allmählich zu lösen.Manchmal hilft aber auch nur ZÄHNE ZUSAMMENBEIßEN, ETWAS MUT ZUM SCHMERZ UND ZUR GEFAHR ES WOMÖGLICH ZU VERSCHLIMMERN, aber ich hatte bisher eh nur diese Option oder in Kürze den Strick.Allmählich scheint es aufwärts zu gehen, auch die Seele bekommt wieder einen förderlichen Ruck nach vorne. Schau bitte mal zurück, wie es mir in der letzten Zeit ging! Ein Leben ist das doch nicht mehr!

La prima volta che l'ho usato e mi sono sdraiato sopra è stato molto fastidioso e stavo per renderlo... poi l'ho adoperato in modo meno invasivo, appoggiato alla sedia del computer e in auto; adesso, a distanza di poche settimane, posso dire che ho meno fastidi alla schiena. E anche se mi sdraio sopra le cose vanno meglio. (Devo mettere un asciugamano sopra perché la plastica è un po' dura). Sono sorpreso dal momento che soffro di schiena da anni per cattiva postura, e tempo fa sono persino rimasto bloccato a letto; non avrò risolto tutti i problemi ma un miglioramento c'è stato, se inarco la schiena ora mi fa meno male, quando scendo dall' auto dopo la guida sono meno dolorante... Ha 3 posizioni, basso, medio, alto... per me "basso" per ora è più che sufficiente. Ne ho comprato un altro per evitare di portarlo su e giù da casa all'auto. Penso che i risultati, comunque, siano soggettivi ed estremamente variabili a seconda dello stato fisico di partenza. Chi ha problemi seri forse dovrebbe chiedere ad un esperto se l'utilizzo è consigliato.

Lo he estado utilizando durante meses. Basta con unos minutos al día, relajando la espalda. Sinceramente, si la posición que te mejora la hernia es la que favorece este aparato, lo recomiendo totalmente.

si vous avez mal au dos il faut essayer ce produit. Il faut ignorer la personne qui parle de shiatsu parce que ca n'a rein à voir avec ce produit qui est pour étirer le dos. C'est simple mais ca marche surtout si vous faites aussi des exercices. Si vous etes anglophone je peux vous recommander Robin Mckenzie 7 steps to a pain free life and the Egosque method of health through motion. Il y a aussi plein de commentaires positifs sur le site amazon royaume uni. C'est très léger donc je l'utilise aussi pour soutenir mon dos quand je m'assoie devant mon ordinateur

ero molto scettico sulla sua efficacia - ho ceduto al consiglio di un collega che lo utilizza da anni per problemi alla schiena e ho dovuto ricredermi sulla sua efficacia quando ne ho ricavato un notevole sollievo - soffro di lombalgia ed è diventato il mio appuntamento fisso 3-4 volte a settimana. Consiglio di consultare sempre uno specialista nel caso di problemi rilevanti alla schiena
