Amazing for opening the chest/front of shoulders It takes a few tries to get all three sections lined up correctly and it can feel awkward at first. The bolsters aren't as intuitive to use as I'd anticipated. Once I did figure out how to align the bolsters to my own body the numbered markings made it easy to re-create the arrangement.The biggest benefit is when I let my arms fall to my side (elbows bent as if in a "goal" pose), the stretch on my upper shoulders and chest is amazing. I can feel everything slowly relaxing and opening up. The lift the bolsters provide allows my shoulder blades room to move. It helps counter the rounded shoulder posture I have from using my computer, caring for my family, and sleeping on my side.I'm an LMT so anything that helps me with my own self-care (since I don't get massages as regularly as I should!) is a win.For those thinking of using this in a commercial setting, the material has some give but isn't porous making it easier to clean. I don't think this is something I would use in my office simply because positioning could be awkward and it doesn't fit into my style of work; I could see this working well in a PT's office.

BEST all In 1 self-care devise I have ever used … We all find ourselves needing improved strength, mobility (Strength through range of motion) and improved flexibility! Look no further!What makes this device so powerful is that you can position your body comfortably on the devise easily allowing your body to relax into the devise.Unlike some traditional devices like foam rollers, therpy balls, sticks etc you can work into the areas you are looking to treat and by positioning, gravity (your own weight) or adding weight and movement you can identify, treat and relieve tension in your own body neck, shoulders, back, spine and hips, all the in those hard to reach places such as in between your shoulder blades and into the erector spine and thoracic lumbar. Or traditional areas such as quads, calf’s and shoulders just like you would with a foam roller 👌 all with 1 deviseBy elevating your body and pressing your heals into the floor and performing a hip bridge you can target your traps and while laying flat can treat your own neck by pressing your head into the head piece and rotating through different ranges of motion.I cannot say enough GREAT thing about this devise…I personally have spent several hours 100 plus treating my own body and optimizing performance and recoveryMy recovery time has been cut in 1/2 by using after my workout or in the evening while meditating helping me sleep 💤 by allowing me to personally treat my own body and continue to stay focused on my training, moving freely improving flexibility and more importantly mobility (strength through range of motion) allowing me to continue to do the activities I LOVE 💯💪In addition to using to treat my own body we are using in our mobility training at our boutique fitness studio at Inspired Life Fitness and with 1 on 1 clients to help them see the same incredible results!Imagine helping 5-10-15-20 individuals at a time like in a yoga 🧘🏼 class and work on improving posture, working on breathe 😮‍💨 work and improving mobility and functional movement!The best advice I can give is spend some quality time exploring how your body feels on the device and discover the possibilities, we have had several clients say “I could fall asleep on this devise” just had a client who stared working with me when I stated using this method tell me they have never felt better ❤️Imagine getting into those hard to treat areas that continue to reoccur and cause discomfort, by pin point them and treating them yourself and not have to see seek assistance from someone else allowing you to get back to doing what you love and being productive NOW or even better using between sessions with your coach / trainer / therapist etcWe HIGHLY recommend …Coach Shawn & TiffanyCEO’s (Chief ENERGY Officer)

Helps straighten the spine and relieve back pain exacerbated by poor posture I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this setup, especially given the cost. It was not at all comfortable the first few times I used it. The more I used it, though, the less uncomfortable it felt. As I kept using it, I began to feel incrementally better. My back and neck started hurting less as each evening drags in. I can tell that the stretching and decompression features are helping.So far, I've used this more as a spine straightener and stretcher than anything else, and I like the effect it's having. Once I'm further along and my back feels even better, I'm looking forward to starting to perform some of the exercises that came with the product.

Not working for me. I have taken my time before reviewing this item. I wanted to really give it a fair chance to help me. I have had back issues for years and have tried other devices and methods for relief. First, the device is well made. The material is firm yet soft. The material is easy to clean. But, for the item as a whole I think it is over priced for what you get. It is three shaped piece's of material. Second, I have followed the limited instructions and absolutely can not get in a comfortable position on the device. I does not give me any relief of my back pain. I defiantly am not saying it may not be the greatest invention on earth for you. You may get great results. If you do it is worth every penny.

A wonderful invention I am very impressed with this product. I am less than 60 years old and have developed a dowagers hump from poor posture. I have been doing physical therapy exercises for more than a year to try to remedy it, but with little success. In just a short time using the ContouReal, I see improvement already! It aligns my spine and relieves pressure in my upper back so I can do my exercises without having to guess if my back is aligned properly. I'm already having less back and neck pain, and am feeling less congestion in my ears too! Amazing!

Serious posture corrector / spinal alignment & back straightener The first thing that surprised me about this device was the heavy weight at 6 pounds 7 ounces. The material used is dense, firm, and flexible; it is smooth, will not absorb water, and easy to clean. The directions could be better on how to use it the first time, especially adjusting it to fit (easy to do, but unclear on positioning). I can probably be more flexible, so it was not easy for me personally to get comfortable on this device, however after a fairly brief period, I did settle in and it felt pretty good. I had difficulty getting up off of it the first time, but my back did feel a bit better. I wish there was a video on how to use it per the exercise routine, otherwise this USA-made device is impressive to me. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 stars.

Great for back posture The ContouReal Posture Corrector has really helped my back relax. It has helped my scoliosis curve maintain and not get worse. Great product!
