Tried backpod for 3 weeks
Im 28 average fit male. Stopped working out at the beginning of this year due to laziness and after 2 weeks got mild costo. At first I could only feel it at night while changing my position in bed. Then I tried to start working out again and couldnt perform half of the exercises without costo pain. I tried many stretching/rolling exercises, tennis balls, peanuts and nothing helped.
Then out of desperation I bought Backpod 3 weeks ago and started using it religiously. At first it caused huge discomfort in my upper spine. I could barely lay on it. After first session I couldnt turn left or right due to pain it caused.
Right now after 3 weeks I get no pain from using Backpod. I can raise my head and my hips to maximize the pressure on my spine but only small discomfort is there.
Also since I started using Backpod I can feel pain in the same rib but on the spine side. I take it as a good sign.
BUT the costo is still there. There is literally no improvement in my ribs and sternum pain. I still cant work out. I still feel it when i breathe while riding bike.
Just a vent here. I know it'll be a long healing process and I cant undo years of bad posture with few Backpod sessions.
