How does this compare to the Moller Orthopedic Pro back support? Look similar via pics but I'm borrowing the Moller Orthopedic Pro now and it's GREAT!

&#921; am not sure whether the Moller Orthopedic Pro back support has the strap attached as the Obus Forme has. The strap is helpfull when you want to keep the back support in a firm position in a chair for example. Please consider this.

Raven, I'm not familiar with the DonJoy. As I am putting off a total knee replacement this brace has been really great. It's not an "off the shelf" brace these people in India actually custom make it to your leg dimensions you provide. The fit is perfect and the reinforcement is great along with being very comfrotable. My knee problem is I have no ligaments in the back of my knee, they were torn years ago in an automobile accident, and there is nothing holding my knee together. It has been operated on two times and can't be fixed except with replacement or fuse the joint together. Raven, I'm not familiar with the DonJoy.

Hi David, since my husband has severe back issues. I did a lot of research online and was worried about him having to reach so low to lock in the ankle adjustment. I chose the 960 for the ease and comfort for him. the 960 model also has longer handles on each side as well as other handles to grip or push for more of a stretch. which I seem to like more than he does. If you'd like more info I looked up on You Tube a side by side comparison. I'm including the link for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a21CTqahr4o. He is a little slow to get started if you start the video about 1:43. he will get into more of the description and will show the differences on each one. I hope this helps. J

I have only seen the MOTR in a magazine so I can't really compare. The Balanced Body might not be as cushioned as the MOTR which looks like it has more foam padding. I have used the Balanced Body and think it's OK. I don't use it every day, so it has held up pretty well. Again the MOTR might be of better quality, but I could not attest to that. Hope this helps.

I did check out Under Armour but there is some actual copper in the Tommy Copper products which current thoughts are helps with arthritis and plain ole muscle aches. My husband continued to complain of back issues that were basically deemed muscular so I figured it was cheaper and less hard on the body than constant NSAID's. The first one I purchased he really liked so I've purchased more. He doesn't complain about back pain as much. The compression in the Tommy Copper's seems to be a little more tightness to it. He loves them and has asked for some short sleeved ones for summer. Prices are good on Amazon pick one up if you don't like it don't buy anymore. But I am sold on them. Good luck!

Yes. I've never had a back injury, disease, or condition. However, I inherited my dad's bad back. I have a few vertebrae that like to slip out of place, and leave me in severe pain. Chiropractic was a life-saver for decades, with the only alternative being pain medication and waiting for my spine to find a stabile alignment. For me, the Spine-Worx has replaced most of my chiropractic visits, and has the advantage of being usable at any hour on any day. Instead of the chiropractor using quick motions to move my back into alignment, the Spine-Worx uses time and body weight. When I lay on it, either a vertebrae will be sticking down further than the rest, or one will be raised to where it doesn't touch the Spine-Worx board. In either case, I lay there for a few minutes, distract myself with something until my muscles release, and let my body weight push all of my vertebrae down against the Spine-Worx board. The end result is similar to a chiropractic visit for me, except that I don't get my neck cracked, and I'm not paying the price of the Spine-Worx for each treatment. Also, my back seems to stay in proper alignment longer after using the Spine-Worx than it does after a single chiropractic adjustment. I've owned my Spine-Worx board for about 3 years now, and REALLY wish I had purchased one earlier. For what it does, I would have gladly paid 10 times the current $33.99 price to get a prototype or early production model.

Well, I'm not quite the same as you, but I'm on the Diamondback everyday and I really like it. I bought it based on a Consumer Reports rating and reviews on other websites. It's very sturdy. My husband uses it as well, and also likes it. I am very happy with the purchase.

Like you I was trying to decide between this and the back buddy, the back buddy just looks so big and the theracane has been around for a very long time, I had decided on the Theracane but then really looked at the back buddy and I can see that it would be able to massage my back in two spots I am having problems with.

I don't think the Hugo's handle is any better than most canes. I happen to be in rehab for a hip replacement and I saw a gentleman with a cane fiitted with an armrest plus handle so he had support on his forearms not just the hand. He also had RA. You may need to do some research to find that. Just wanted to let you know they exist.

As for mine, I have no complaints, I also bought a orthopediate cushion, and that too, I have no complaints. They both feel alright, and helps with my bad back.

The lumbar support is a medium density foam cushion that adjusts up and down to fit your back. It offers better support than without it, but the plastic "C" clips that lock the support onto the chair allow more give that I would like. From the looks of the new posture fit tech - it's more secure and less likely to give, offering more support than the lumbar support feature.In the end though it's still the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in. It's more than paid for itself in the added productivity it's allowed me to be, instead of having to adjust, get up and walk off the sore spots... I can get my job done.

My boyfriend has Sciatica and he now swears by the Teeter 960. When we first got together about 5 years ago, he suffered debilitating pain from this awful condition. I had a different (lesser) model inversion table at the time and the first time he "dangled", it relieved so much of his pain, he talked me into buying a sturdier model (he's kind of a big guy.) Personally, I suffer from a herniated disc, between L-5 and S-1 and it has ended my relationship with my Chiropractor. My father has had back surgery and has both arthritis and fused discs and he also "dangles" daily. Trust me, nothing feels as good as putting yourself in traction.

Hi Missy I find the cane very helpful as I haven a failed knee replacement but have had a spinal fusion as well my physio has been teaching me to use the cane for support to relieve the pressure on my back you will also find it produces more stability but do not lean forward as this creates more spinal pressure if you have to lean forward even to reach for something I have been taught to push your bottom out as this immediately takes the pressure of the spine not the most elegant but it works good luck.

Not sure how different they are but I absolutely love the mueller one much better than the regular mueller wrist support I previously used much more comfortable it is more bulky so I would not use it outside of sleeping.

I have and use this ball but have never used the Barre3 core ball so comparison is a bit difficult. I do love the FitBall for giving me just the little bit of support I need for my back and for being the right size and texture to stay between my knees and ankles while I'm doing some of my exercises. However, I did find a forum where one very knowledgeable person did a comparison of the Barre3 & FitBall. He seems to think the FitBall is better. As I am not heavy into core fitness and strengthening - at 65 I am a bit more cautious - I thought I would share his post. http://www.videofitness.com/~vfwnk/forum/showthread.php?t=175851 - hope this helps.

I love mine. There is one exercise the video shows that bugs my knee but it's easily adaptable. My mom got a gazelle after I did. She has bad knees. It doesn't bother her. Side note...I think it a important to add wd40 to the crossbar the handles are attached to as suggested by somebody.
