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.

I also have mid and low back pain and it works best on the low back but also helps with the mid back. You are not inverted, no where near that. You just lay into it and it stretches your forward, gently. I also have an inversion table and use this more than the table. I really think you would be satisfied if you purchased one.

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.

Dear Brett: I'm 72. I'm Walter's wife and I'm wearing the Body Rite Posture Pleaser daily. It has helped me a lot. Being 5'9" I've hunched forward most of my life, but this product has helped the hunching and the resulting back-aches. We bought another one for a friend, who also loves it. Highly recommend this product! It's the best - so comfortable you forget you're wearing it.

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 have lower back scoliosis and other problems and to be honest I didn't think this belt helped me very much. I did like the si-loc belt and felt that it helped more. Hope this helps!

I own a "ball chair" that does this. I bought one with a back which I don't like b/c I lean back too often defeating my good posture.

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 does for the regular back, and yes there is bulging caused by it. Not enough to bother me though

I use it in the small part of my back in my easy chair mostly. When I first ordered it I thought it was for exercising but it is not for exercising of the low back area. I have scoliosis.

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 should be positioned so your pelvis is tilted slightly forward, unless you have a herniated disc. In which case, the chair won't help with your back problems, and might even aggravate them. With the forward pelvic tilt, your spine should feel both straight and relaxed.

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).

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

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.

It doesn't necessarily target your lower back, but it does stretch out your hamstrings effectively, which relieves lower back pain. I find it very helpful.

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.
