Does this help to straighten the back? (hunch back/scoliosis)

Yes, it definitely helps to relieve body aches. Can't beat the price either as same one costs you 3 times as much if you are getting it from the sporting goods store.

I have used the foam roller for that purpose and it does give a bit of relief. It helps stretch out the tight lower lumbar muscles. It does help

Properly used and with good instruction you can strengthen your core which will retrain your thorax and encourage less scoli. The scoli improvement will depend on whether it's function related or not. Find a good Pilates instructor to get you on the best path.

Sorry, in my opinion, this product is not designed for straightening. I use it for a more moisterizing shampoo and conditioner. It is an excellent product if you want your hair to feel and look silkier.

It helped me. My posture was horrible. It felt very uncomfortable at first but it forced me to sit up and back straight. After a month I started to get used to sitting in a straighter position. I still use it one year later. I definitely recommend this product.

If you properly do it it is really easy. I just bend over and hold onto it and just stand up and straighten my back.. its super easy. Probably not OSHA approved but it works great.

I think you will find that the Intelliskin will work beautifully for gently correcting poor posture. The support it provides even when a person has pain and stiffness is excellent, so I think you will be very pleased with the results for you.

It does have a curve. I have seen a marked improvement in both my neck and shoulders! It did take a few days to get used to it. Now I notice the difference when I am traveling and don't have my pillow.

Yes, it helps a lot. Use it with curved side down where you can "rock" it with your feet.

depends on how much of a curve I would say if its 5% or less it may help more than that I don't think so as your spine sortof fits into a groove and it may be painful if the curvature is to much

Yes it will help. Another thing that will help is a memory foam topper for your bed if you do not already have one. Any movement, no matter how gentle, will help too. Stand in place and do your version of the hula, forexample. Warm baths (15 minutes each) with a cup of epsom salts and 1/2 of baking soda mixed in will also help. Anything that stimulates the blood flow to you lower back is a big help. I have a machine, called "Back To Life" that I use and it's amazing how good my back feels after using it. Hope I've helped.

Yes. If the person has issues with a tight or sore back, it is a real boon!

You would need help. I don't recommend this product I want to return it it does not help with my posture

Yes, only temporarily though of course, and it's more like it makes it 90% easier to straighten. It's way more than 2 applications for me, and I have thick past-shoulder length curly hair (which is both a bit straighter when wet, and easily submits to the flat iron when I use this consistently).

I think so. It helps me in general. my problem is more my lower back. But from time to time I wake up with my arms "asleep" and hanging the next morning usually takes care of it. ( not a strict neck problem)

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.

Yes, it gives very good back support. I chose this style rather than a 'regular' one for that very reason and I am very pleased with it.
