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.

Yes, but if done regularly might cause the spine to weaken. I don't use it that way, but it definitely folds back. I love the quality of the item! And I love the color.

I would highly recommend taking it to a chiropractor or physical therapist to have them show you. But if you can't, then try to get it just above your pubic bone, and make sure it is level all the way around. When you sit, it should not affect the bend in your hips.

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.

I don't think so- it sure has helped my back. If in question- take a chance-

Ask your doctor first. This thing does align the vertebrae naturally. But it can be painful. I would say wait till you are more fully healed. If you do use it be sure to use pillows on top, and bottom, to reduce stress.

It doesn't cause backache. A change in position from standing to sitting and anywhere in between is good ergonomics and promotes circulation and reduces sedentary positioning.

Hi Michael Honestly, I didn't find this worked for me. It was not the first posture guide I have ever used, and hoped it would help, as it is different from others I had tried. I still found myself hunched over. It didn't take very long for me to get used to the feeling of the tugging and was not a problem for me. I got used to ite

I had an anterior tilt myself. It aided in relieving the pressure because it helped to put my sacrum in balance. With additional help from the video from the company I found much relief.

It seems to help what ever places it touches. I have a bad back, but it does not act like most bad backs. I bought it for my shoulder, but my back doesn't bother me when I have it on. Can't say what it will do for someone else.

Yes, it strengthens and targets the core muscles. A stronger core will help the back.

I have pelvic rotation and my occupational therapist had me use it during therapy one day to re-align my pelvis. I could not believe how well it work so I ordered my own to use at home. I use it every day and it really helps! Be sure to read and follow instructions on placement because that part is tricky but I think it may really help low back pain from mis-aligned pelvis as that is what is was created for.

I find that it does. I have a tendency to slouch and if the chair is properly inflated and you sit with your feet on the ground, you have a will need to tighten your core, just to stay balance. It is not, however, a substitute for ab exercises...just an added bonus.

No I actually received this once as a gift from my son and try to use it. It specifically states it is not to be used for people with scoliosis.

I love it. I mostly bought it for my back because it's so sore. It helps a lot with lower back pain. As for "curve enhancing" I couldn't tell ya as I am already curvy.

The back rest is good, I don't feel uncomfortable leaning back at all. It gives me a little break from keeping my posture super straight.

I haven't tried it lying down. As Roxy answered, your bottom wouldn't be aligned with the rest of your back. There isn't much "give" to it, so that could be uncomfortable. It might help you with sitting, though. It takes some getting used to. Best wishes for complete recovery.
