I was introduced to posture pump by my physiotherapist.
I have added the link to it - as it is difficult to find... and this is an EXCELLENT price! I paid more than double... but it was more than worth it.
My physiotherapist insisted that I needed something to work on my posture, and increase flexibility in my spine.
I was vigilant in using posture pump... every night, for the recommended 5 minutes of warm-up and 10-15min stretch.
I trusted my physiotherapist - otherwise, I may not have stuck with it. Every night for the first month of use, was excruciatingly painful. I could barely move for about 1 hour after-wards. However, I think I over did it... I didn't need to pump the posture pump to it's maximum. In this case... less is more.
It only took about 1 week for things to improve. It was still painful after-wards, however, the days that followed were much better. I Also noted, that if I didn't use it for a couple of days, things would get worse... which is where the book "8 steps to a painfree back" came in... this book took me to the next level.
What to expect with the posture pump.
The posture pump consists of two tubes which sit perpendicular to your spine. You lay over top of the posture pump with it near your hips and with it deflated. Then you inflate each tube, with one of the two pumps. You do this interchangeably - giving your spine a massage.
Then, once your back is warmed up, you lay over top the posture pump with both tubs inflated, which gives your back a stretch, and also stretches ligaments within hips.
The pain isn't during the use of posture pump, but after-wards. Therefore, I would do posture pump right before bed... then I would fall asleep very still - so I wouldn't get a jolt of pain... then I would wake up stretched, pain-free and refreshed.
I felt the pain prior to bed was worth an entire day pain-free.
