Product Information

Happily, I’m now pain free and back practicing yoga four or five times a week with only positive side effects. Start with the Backpod between your shoulder blades, lie back with your knees bent and place your hands behind your head. When you have costochondritis or Tietze’s syndrome, exercise, lifting heavy objects, or even lying in certain positions can make your pain worse. The user guide has a helpful graphic showing you exactly where to place the Backpod to target costochondritis and Tietze’s syndrome. This is when I stumbled across Steve August, a New Zealand physiotherapist and recovered costochondritis sufferer.

It is not possible to build a single product perfectly suited to every patient; however the Backpod and its home programme should benefit the vast majority of upper back and neck problems.

These are our German partners, who sell the Backpod throughout Europe, including the UK, Norway and Switzerland. The Backpod is the treatment device that Steve August says can fix costochondritis and Tietze’s syndrome. He says to think of your ribs as bucket handles that are hinged to both your breastbone and your spine. It's not the most comfortable thing to lay on, and it doesn't look like it is worth 80 dollars, maybe 15 at most, but to get rid of costochondritis pain, I would pay 500 dollars for this if I had to. If no luck getting a Backpod sent to your country, try getting a friend elsewhere in the world to send you one.

The body’s repair of torn muscle cells involves scarring (adhesive fibrosis) – which is non-elastic.If this is the case, then loosening the back rib joints is the treatment for both of these painful conditions. The instructions say to start with three pillows under your head and work your way gradually to a comfortable stretch with no pillows. There is a detailed user guide, but for some reason, it isn’t included with Backpods that are purchased in the UK. As well as working up and down the upper spine, the Backpod needs to be positioned between your spine and your shoulder blades to target those tight rib joints.
