Note to all viewers who suffer from costo watching this: don’t take this explanation at face value. (I’m one of manyyyyy comments on this video who seem to be saying the same thing, interesting 🤔) I explain this in my note to OP below Note to OP: 1. Explain exactly why repetitive motion couldn’t dramatically help reduce costo? It’s caused by repetitive motion as well, so doing the inverse seems quite logically to be a solid solution. 2. Foam rollers do absolute nothing for costo, except maybe reduce some general pain for a few hours. Just providing some symptom relief. 3. “This won’t be the magic bullet”. You then go on to say that chiropracty is the magic bullet. Weird. The sneaky thing about costo that’s been around for a long time (lots of us have had it for upwards of five years, due to next to no widely available medical knowledge beyond “rest and fix posture”) is that the inflammation buildup is so bad that even visiting a chiropractor, while helpful, doesn’t fix the issue right away. No one but the hyper rich has the money to go to the chiropractor twice weekly….which brings me to my fourth point 4. The cost of the Backpod. I’m afraid you’re not factoring in what actually went into creating this product. you’re not paying $80 for a piece of plastic. You’re giving $80 to the only doctor who actually sat down and logically worked out the process for why costo develops, and built, tested, marketed, and wrote an extensive guide on just how to fix it. for only $80!?!! how much does a chiro cost again…. it’s incredibly different in scope from say, a $20 foam roller. i could get a foam roller built in china and sell it for $20 if i wanted. see the difference? oh, there’s also a $40 version on amazon now This is written as someone who has suffered from costo for over ten years, and has entirely fixed their posture as of 3 years ago. I’ve seen zero improvement, despite stretching every day. This is the only thing that works. Sure, a lacrosse ball works alright. This works much better. For the sake of people suffering from costo, and if you have any dignity, please at least remove this video from the internet. You clearly have never had this issue yourself, and haven’t even watched the short video by the creator. This is just dangerous misinformation, from someone with a degree.
Most do not get those results……. And those with scoliosis can make it worse with the backpod. Glad you found relief but all it does is grossly manipulate the thoracic spine. My exc I created would be better for you to do regularly so it doesn’t come back.
Right went to 5 different chiros they didnt do shit. Backpod fixed it in 2 weeks. Its bc most back issues are really muscle related...the real spine issues you need surgery...not some quack releasing gas between joints.
@@Synergywellnessny how do you KNOW most get no results? It's a very ignorant and defamatory statement that you're doing with zero data to back any of your claims. Sorry, but for a medical professional you're blabbering a lot
@@Anna-nt3us because we have patients coming in every week that have used the backpod with no results and for some it has made it worse. As I said in video it can help for small percentage of people with costo. If you have scoliosis it’s more complicated than a backpod.
@Vape Girl I’m sure it has directions how to use it, but if you have scoliosis I would consult a chiropractor and make sure you’re not creating more of a problem
@Vape Girl walking ? Ehhh I wouldn’t say that’s the best thing you can do because it doesn’t do anything to solve the tense muscles across the upper back which pull the ribs out in first place. Waking isn’t the best advice . Here try these yet? th-cam.com/video/fTDXE-9l15g/w-d-xo.html
Fixed my thoracic pain and costochondritis almost right away. All for the cost of one chiropratic session. You don't know as much as you like to think man
It doesn’t work for everyone. glad it did for you!! But I wonder did it really fix it? Make sure to improve thoracic mobility with exc. so it doesn’t return.
Same here. It almost immediately provided relief of symptoms. I have been using the exercises found on this page for about 2 months now and while they have helped in reducing my pain by 50%; nothing has done as much as a few stretches on the backpod. I think some people just are not using it correctly or their back is so out of wack that they need a lot more time with the backpod and exercises. People are looking for immediate results for something they have let go for far too long.
i was diagnosed with chronic costochondritis. following the directions carefully, i began using the BackPod ... it took me a about 6 - 9 months until i could lie on it. Now I use it regularly and i no longer suffer the pain of costochondritis.
wow, 6-9 months.. You must have had a very severe case of costo. I am happy to hear that you are no longer suffering. Hoping to get to that point sometime soon.
You might want to watch Steve August talk about it. He actually mentions that it is only to help unlock the joint and stretch out the cartilage. He talks about the other things you need to do along side with it so it doesn't come back.
Chiropractor hasn’t helped much. 2 times a week at 95 dollars. 60 bucks vs 400. I’m sticking with the back pod. Atleast I feel like I’m working on myself more than the chiropractor ever did.
For me the backpod was an essential tool for my recovery. My cause was a fall onto my ribcage followed by years of being very sedentary. My breathing and mobility improved substantially. I eventually switched over to a 3 inch cork ball for something more intense/targetted, but the backpod was great for starting out and addressing the problem(tight rib joints in the back).
Hey NYC chiropractor, "Gimmicky advertising" is bad mouthing something that has helped others and putting your "make an appointment today" call to action in the intro.
We do that for all our videos, as many that have been helped could have done the same thing with a lacrosse ball and foam roller. It’s an overpriced piece of equipment that’s not a magic biller for most people. It’s a review and my editing team puts advertising along bottom. Is that really a big deal? It’s more about the opinion and review of the over priced product that won’t work for most!
@@JimmyOnions1 watch the review in its entirety you will see why I don’t like it. It will only help mild cases of Costochondritis. I specifically say that if you watch the whole video. I also explain why. You know anything about Costochondritis you would know that scoliosis cases would be worsened by this device. Your gross manipulating all the upper back spinal segments and it is not effective for most. Did you read all the bad reviews??? Did the thousands of others write bad reviews??? No!

Great news keep working on your thoracic mobility so it doesn’t come back. I did a great video with exercises. 22 Costochondritis Stretches & Exercises (Thoracic and Rib Mobility)
@@glenyspierre2255 I used it every day for several weeks religiously and after that, it healed so now I just use it a couple times a year as long as I crack my back in the mornings.
@@seluweldat6655 I remember seeing videos saying you can use massage rollers the same way, or a small foam football. Ever since I got the back pod I've been cracking my back by putting my thumbs across from each other on my upper back (just below my arms) - NOT IN THE MIDDLE of the back but about two inches or so apart, so that they are directly on top of my vertical back muscles and I gently open up my posture. this helps me but do it at your own risk I don't want to get sued haha
Seems you are just hating on it. Very unprofessional. Maybe instead of bad mouthing it . Go watch the man that made it. He seems to know a lot more than you. You will learn something . Maybe .
I use the backpod every night before bed which has been great but the exercise that works for me is wall press ups, I don't know if floor press up would do the job as I'm not strong enough to do them, I do 30 wall press ups 3 or 4 times a day and it's been incredible
In the video I explain that this may work for some but lost severe cases this will not fix the issue. It will However increase mobility in the thoracic spine. That is key with costo. I have done two videos that focus on thoracic mobility and I recommend those instead of $79 gadget that doesn’t correct the issue and will potentially make the issue worse if the person has scoliosis.

For some reason he hates this product, I don't know why. Maybe they didn't want to pay him for a review? Steve August developed this backpod, he suffered of this condition himself. He is a NZ physiotherapist, he discovered the real problem behind costo and he knows exactly what he is talking about. Not like this chap in this video. One might not need to purchase this very product (btw, it's not even available!) but the idea behind it is genius, helped so many of us with the unbearable pain of costo.
@@verabolton I explain why. For most cases it will NOT help! There are thousands of people that have not been helped by this product furthermore if you have scoliosis it could make it worse.
@@Synergywellnessny Whatever works for each person. If lying on an alligator would help me, I would do it.😁 Sadly most middle aged folks have chronic back pain.😒
so I just bought the thing yesterday, I had costo for a year when i stumbled upon the backpod. I also didnt want to spend 70 bucks on that thing so i did it with a rolled up towl. I did that for a week and it was quasi gone. I went back to the gym recently and noticed it coming back whenever I benched or something. Thank you for your insight, i also think the condition is more complicated, but the point the creator of the backpod (i dont even know his name) made sence since the towl role helped me. So now I bought the actual thing. I will try the thing out an comment again. But I have high hope. I will watch your other videos, because I want to learn all there is
The backpod works. I have only used it for a couple days, but I have had immense relief since using it. Don't get me wrong, I also was doing the exercises that I learned from this youtube channel, but I still suffered from costo. I have only had it for about 2 months now but have been super proactive in getting rid of it. The longer you wait, the worse and tighter your ribs get which will make it even more difficult to correct (from what i have heard). You need to loosen them up where they connect to your spine. Keep it up with the back pod and continue with exercises. Also, do not get cocky and think (i'm all better) and start working hard. You need to rest a lot, use the back pod, stretch your ribs out, heat your back with heating pad or hot showers. Don't focus too much on the chest as you really need to get your ribs loosened up where they connect to your spine. Also I take a broom stick and put it on my shoulders with my arms over it and twist softly. Just don't give up and don't get stressed. Stay confident and continue with everything i listed and you will get relief. My pain is down about 60 to 75% now. My opinion is that people give up way too fast. they have suffered for a long time and just want it to go away. I don't blame them but you need to put in the work. Good luck and I hope you at least get to where I am. At one point my pain was so bad, I just about gave up on having a normal life. My honeymoon was coming up and I as super depressed. But this channel and the backpod have done wonders.
i used it for about 3 days now, I did not use pillow, becaus my back is very flexible to begin with. I can still feel somethin is up with my sternum but it may very well be some inflamation that needs to heal off. Other than that i can say that even after a few days my condition feels much better, not somehow better, but the-sharp-pain-when-turning-my - torso-or-breath-in-is-gone getter. This does not surprise me tho, bc I knew it would work since I used a rolled up towel before and this gave me relieve as well. I will get a peanut ball aswell, bc I can imagine it really works those ribs. I still think, that the backpod is to expensive tho, I mean the thing works you don't throw your money out, I just feel everybody should easily be able to afford it. I don't think a kid can persuade their parents du buy a $70 piece of rubber whis is a shame bc the thing is worth getting. If the price would be something like $30 I would give it a 5/5, if you have costo you need that thing.
Had me until you said use a foam roller. Foam roller will not do what the back pod will. Not even close. Maybe or hard ball but still won’t get the coverage on the areas and won’t be as effective. It’s overpriced for sure but works for it was does. There is some relief to be had from it. Of course we have to fix the issues that are causing it or it will keep occurring.
Here's the thing, I know plenty of people who have not so perfect posture. But yet they don't have costochondritis and I do. I get so frustrated when my chiropractor's and my doctors practically gaslight me into thinking that it's my posture, when I have always prided myself on maintaining a good posture, then one morning and out of the blue I woke up with this feeling in my chest. It has been nearly 4 years now. Its also frustrating that there doesn't appear to be a single chiropractor out there who can crack my chest. For four years now my chest has been feeling like it just needs a good crack, which every so often i can give myself a good one, but then I am always left with that last "itch" (small, but daunting crack) I cannot get.
While youre reviewing this....let me review chiropractor work in general Its all bullshit for the most part. You can adjust somebody 3 times a day. It wont matter...the muscles, ligaments and tendons are going to control the tension on your bones. Bad posture and spine problems is caused by how you sit habitually. Your muscles pull aNd eventually that's how your bones will rotate. Once a chiro adjusts you within a few min you bones will slide right back into same position. You almost never need a chiro...just lose weight,eat right, lift weights and do yoga or pilates and practice good posture.
Your partially right, yes posture is crucial and correcting it is even more crucial. Unfortunately you don’t know what chiropractors really do otherwise you wouldn’t say that. Chiropractors break up neuro plasticity in the nervous system. Harvard medical and Yale have written great papers proving it’s effectiveness along with spine magazine and a bunch more! Also you clearly don’t understand that your describing manipulation not a chiropractic adjustment. Ps/ where do you think those muscles and ligaments get their nerve supply from? Yup the spine! So you can save your negativity for another channel. I mean this comment is coming from a guy named more pecs more sex. Good luck with that!! 😂
Actually they're $40 on Amazon but can you tell me what the other one is called softweighted therapan ball? I got Parkinson's 2 years into the diagnosis I've probably had it for about 6 years but I'm getting some humpback that's bothering me and I want something to help straighten it out
QUESTION PLEASE: What about for a kyphosis of 76 degree curve? Maybe some wedge shaped vertabrae with how rigid my spine is.. IT SAYS COSTOCHONDRITIS but doesnt mention hyperkyphosis..
Hi have you helped cure many ppl of costo? Can ppl with scoliosis be cured? Can you recommend someone in Charlotte NC? If we’re flaring, what do you suggest? What is your step by step approach for recovery in general? Unlock hinges first then stretch cartilage? Stretch pecs? Then mobilization? Then strength? Help! :-)
I have pain beneath my lowest left rib an inch or so from the sternum; my doctor said it was costochondritis. Another name for what I have I may be slip rib syndrome which sounds more appropriate. I wonder what is good for slip rib syndrome.
And the truth is: The backpod works. it's 60 bucks on amazon for the legit one (not the knockoff) and I will testify that even after 2 days of using it; I have had more/better results than all other exercises. Now I won't say that the exercises I've learned on this channel were useless bc they aren't. They definitely helped (brought my pain down by about 50%), but nothing got right to work loosening my ribs like the backpod. I'm very happy I spent the 60 bucks.
I just did a video about this. Check out channel it will be released this week. Save you money and wait to see it please. You’ll save hundreds$$ It’s a short video but great
I didn’t want to pay out more money on something that may not work as the back pod isn’t cheap so i took my sons old junior rugby ball which is roughly the same size and shape and cut it in half and filled it with silicone…works just as good and cost me nothing 🙂
@@Synergywellnessny I’ve seen probly 6 chrios in the last 3 years. They never can help or pop anything and all say the same thing. “Omg you are really tight”
Hi I was interested to watch your clip. I’m unsure how you can say this isn’t so good un yet in other video clips you suggest a lacrosse ball. Isn’t it sorta the same thing ? Well I think the back pod is actually better. No offense I’m sure your a great Chiro. It’s hard to get into a Chiro or Osteo or even a decent massage therapist in my area and then it’s more than 70$!! I think your review is a little biased. This chap is a Physio. The Physio philosophy is it’s something you do - not get done. Chiros tend to do it for you which is why so many injuries need constant attention. If the client doesn’t strengthen and stretch.they are not taking responsibility for the injury to help rehab. If you just manipulate and “wack it back in the stressed muscles will just pull it out again. As this injury is about opposing muscle groups being more dominant.
Sir i stay in india how can i solve my costochodrits.i have inflammation in left rib .rib flare with spasms cant even travel small moment also getting spasm.plz guide me.😢
Have seen some wonderful reviews for backpod, may be you should try. And if you are worried the money would go waste if it doesn't work for you, one alternative solution is using a high quality cricket groin guard in place of a backpod. It must be available in most cricket sports shops in India, for below Rs. 200/- . If you find some improvement in a week / 10 days following instructions from a backpod demo video, then may be you could buy the original one. Just my 2 cents, hope it helps!. PS: I'm no doctor, and this alternative solution was from another TH-cam video. Thx
This product is a marvel. Could a baseball do the same thing? I guess? There are literally hundreds of comments you can read that demonstrate the success of relieving and removing Costo symptoms.
chiropractors rock🔥 it’s a lot of things I didn’t know about my body until I went to a chiropractor. I use a lacrosse ball, do 3 Costo exercises from your video. I’m sure the back pod does work but you still need a chiropractor to actually correct your thoracic spine and neck curvature and posture. I love Your videos thank you kindly sir 🙏🏾
I’m so happy to hear that your case was mild enough that the ball helped you. The creator of the Backpod has a booklet in the box that tells you what else to do. He doesn’t say just use the backpod. He has other professionals to use and things you MUST do to also help you.
I'm using the backpod as well and strengthening and stretching. I go to physical therapy and also use a foam roller. I will also be seeing a chiropractor. I will say it brought me relief in my most painful times in the beginning especially when my old doc was not listening to my pain complaints to begin with. I agree that strengthening and continuous care is important. Daily. Plus you just feel better strengthening. I have a question though, now that I have loosened my back even more so with the foam roller, my upper back constantly clicks and pops and it never ever did that before! I must have had a very tight upper back! What should I do to counterbalance that popping noises now? just a bunch of strengthening??
I have been using this for 3 months now everyday. I have noticed slight improvement but not alot. Way too expensive for what it is!! I wouldn't buy one again! Not for the price.
@@Synergywellnessny yes plenty. I have spent thousands trying to get rib pain and thoracic pain sorted it has now got to the point of having costochonditis but here in UK we are told by NHS that it is incurable and it is not treated. I have done my research and I know it is curable I just do not have the financial means now to cover the cost of having the treatment unfortunately.
@@Synergywellnessny it can be but unfortunately you do not know my circumstances. For me no its not assessable and not affordable I had a session 2 days ago they now think I have hypermobile joints. I've been seeing Chiro's for years I found one only this year to put my ribs back into place no one had spotted it for years and all of a sudden I could breath . I do not trust the medical system over here in UK after all I have had people trying to operate in the wrong limbs.

For some reason he hates this product, I don't know why. Maybe they didn't want to pay him for a review?
Steve August developed this backpod, he suffered of this condition himself. He is a NZ physiotherapist, he discovered the real problem behind costo and he knows exactly what he is talking about. Not like this chap in this video.
One might not need to purchase this very product (btw, it's not even available!) but the idea behind it is genius, helped so many of us with the unbearable pain of costo.
@@verabolton I explain why. For most cases it will NOT help! There are thousands of people that have not been helped by this product furthermore if you have scoliosis it could make it worse.
It looks like he really wanted everyone to see his credentials judging by the video angle.
Angle shmangle it’s all about the review of the product not the angle. Who cares about the angle or background? Oh yeah you do!
hahahaha I got exactly the same thing--his tone of voice is very annoying too
The backpod booklet literally said that FOAM ROLLERS OR BALLS WON'T HELP AS MUCH AS THE BACKPOD
I disagree, a lacrosse ball can be helpful
@@Synergywellnessny Whatever works for each person. If lying on an alligator would help me, I would do it.😁 Sadly most middle aged folks have chronic back pain.😒
so I just bought the thing yesterday, I had costo for a year when i stumbled upon the backpod. I also didnt want to spend 70 bucks on that thing so i did it with a rolled up towl. I did that for a week and it was quasi gone. I went back to the gym recently and noticed it coming back whenever I benched or something. Thank you for your insight, i also think the condition is more complicated, but the point the creator of the backpod (i dont even know his name) made sence since the towl role helped me. So now I bought the actual thing. I will try the thing out an comment again. But I have high hope. I will watch your other videos, because I want to learn all there is
The backpod works. I have only used it for a couple days, but I have had immense relief since using it. Don't get me wrong, I also was doing the exercises that I learned from this youtube channel, but I still suffered from costo. I have only had it for about 2 months now but have been super proactive in getting rid of it. The longer you wait, the worse and tighter your ribs get which will make it even more difficult to correct (from what i have heard). You need to loosen them up where they connect to your spine. Keep it up with the back pod and continue with exercises. Also, do not get cocky and think (i'm all better) and start working hard. You need to rest a lot, use the back pod, stretch your ribs out, heat your back with heating pad or hot showers. Don't focus too much on the chest as you really need to get your ribs loosened up where they connect to your spine. Also I take a broom stick and put it on my shoulders with my arms over it and twist softly. Just don't give up and don't get stressed. Stay confident and continue with everything i listed and you will get relief. My pain is down about 60 to 75% now. My opinion is that people give up way too fast. they have suffered for a long time and just want it to go away. I don't blame them but you need to put in the work. Good luck and I hope you at least get to where I am. At one point my pain was so bad, I just about gave up on having a normal life. My honeymoon was coming up and I as super depressed. But this channel and the backpod have done wonders.
i used it for about 3 days now, I did not use pillow, becaus my back is very flexible to begin with. I can still feel somethin is up with my sternum but it may very well be some inflamation that needs to heal off. Other than that i can say that even after a few days my condition feels much better, not somehow better, but the-sharp-pain-when-turning-my - torso-or-breath-in-is-gone getter. This does not surprise me tho, bc I knew it would work since I used a rolled up towel before and this gave me relieve as well. I will get a peanut ball aswell, bc I can imagine it really works those ribs. I still think, that the backpod is to expensive tho, I mean the thing works you don't throw your money out, I just feel everybody should easily be able to afford it. I don't think a kid can persuade their parents du buy a $70 piece of rubber whis is a shame bc the thing is worth getting. If the price would be something like $30 I would give it a 5/5, if you have costo you need that thing.
Physiotherapists in New Zealand(where the Backpod is made) also do chiropractic manipulation. It's very common there.
What about chiropractors in New Zealand?
Had me until you said use a foam roller. Foam roller will not do what the back pod will. Not even close. Maybe or hard ball but still won’t get the coverage on the areas and won’t be as effective.
It’s overpriced for sure but works for it was does. There is some relief to be had from it. Of course we have to fix the issues that are causing it or it will keep occurring.
Here's the thing, I know plenty of people who have not so perfect posture. But yet they don't have costochondritis and I do. I get so frustrated when my chiropractor's and my doctors practically gaslight me into thinking that it's my posture, when I have always prided myself on maintaining a good posture, then one morning and out of the blue I woke up with this feeling in my chest. It has been nearly 4 years now. Its also frustrating that there doesn't appear to be a single chiropractor out there who can crack my chest. For four years now my chest has been feeling like it just needs a good crack, which every so often i can give myself a good one, but then I am always left with that last "itch" (small, but daunting crack) I cannot get.
Will this help with neck and upper back pain?
While youre reviewing this....let me review chiropractor work in general
Its all bullshit for the most part. You can adjust somebody 3 times a day. It wont matter...the muscles, ligaments and tendons are going to control the tension on your bones. Bad posture and spine problems is caused by how you sit habitually. Your muscles pull aNd eventually that's how your bones will rotate. Once a chiro adjusts you within a few min you bones will slide right back into same position. You almost never need a chiro...just lose weight,eat right, lift weights and do yoga or pilates and practice good posture.
Your partially right, yes posture is crucial and correcting it is even more crucial. Unfortunately you don’t know what chiropractors really do otherwise you wouldn’t say that.
Chiropractors break up neuro plasticity in the nervous system.
Harvard medical and Yale have written great papers proving it’s effectiveness along with spine magazine and a bunch more!
Also you clearly don’t understand that your describing manipulation not a chiropractic adjustment.
Ps/ where do you think those muscles and ligaments get their nerve supply from? Yup the spine! So you can save your negativity for another channel. I mean this comment is coming from a guy named more pecs more sex. Good luck with that!! 😂
Actually they're $40 on Amazon but can you tell me what the other one is called softweighted therapan ball? I got Parkinson's 2 years into the diagnosis I've probably had it for about 6 years but I'm getting some humpback that's bothering me and I want something to help straighten it out
QUESTION PLEASE: What about for a kyphosis of 76 degree curve? Maybe some wedge shaped vertabrae with how rigid my spine is.. IT SAYS COSTOCHONDRITIS but doesnt mention hyperkyphosis..
Hi have you helped cure many ppl of costo? Can ppl with scoliosis be cured? Can you recommend someone in Charlotte NC? If we’re flaring, what do you suggest? What is your step by step approach for recovery in general? Unlock hinges first then stretch cartilage? Stretch pecs? Then mobilization? Then strength? Help! :-)
You said it all. Both stretching pecs and unlocking thoracic spine. That you need a Chiro for.
Will this get rid of neck hump
I have pain beneath my lowest left rib an inch or so from the sternum; my doctor said it was costochondritis. Another name for what I have I may be slip rib syndrome which sounds more appropriate. I wonder what is good for slip rib syndrome.
I think you might want to read the book again. But I understand.
$70 is too much says the guy who probably charges $70 a visit
And the truth is: The backpod works. it's 60 bucks on amazon for the legit one (not the knockoff) and I will testify that even after 2 days of using it; I have had more/better results than all other exercises. Now I won't say that the exercises I've learned on this channel were useless bc they aren't. They definitely helped (brought my pain down by about 50%), but nothing got right to work loosening my ribs like the backpod. I'm very happy I spent the 60 bucks.
Dr. What is your opinion on various neck traction devices for neck issues and headaches?
I just did a video about this. Check out channel it will be released this week. Save you money and wait to see it please. You’ll save hundreds$$
It’s a short video but great
@@Synergywellnessny Thank you so much.
What if you have a neck hump? Will it help?
No that’s a posture problem called upper cross syndrome. We’ve done videos on that topic.
How can i order?
Google backpod and you’ll find it
I didn’t want to pay out more money on something that may not work as the back pod isn’t cheap so i took my sons old junior rugby ball which is roughly the same size and shape and cut it in half and filled it with silicone…works just as good and cost me nothing 🙂
Brilliant!
My costo is so and I get heart palpitations and the pain radiates down to my elbows
You should consider seeing a chiro. And having cold laser if severe case.
@@Synergywellnessny I’ve seen probly 6 chrios in the last 3 years. They never can help or pop anything and all say the same thing. “Omg you are really tight”
Hi I was interested to watch your clip. I’m unsure how you can say this isn’t so good un yet in other video clips you suggest a lacrosse ball. Isn’t it sorta the same thing ? Well I think the back pod is actually better. No offense I’m sure your a great Chiro. It’s hard to get into a Chiro or Osteo or even a decent massage therapist in my area and then it’s more than 70$!! I think your review is a little biased. This chap is a Physio. The Physio philosophy is it’s something you do - not get done. Chiros tend to do it for you which is why so many injuries need constant attention. If the client doesn’t strengthen and stretch.they are not taking responsibility for the injury to help rehab. If you just manipulate and “wack it back in the stressed muscles will just pull it out again. As this injury is about opposing muscle groups being more dominant.
Doctor, Can scoliosis cause costochondritis?
Yes
I bought a peanut roller for $10 which does the same thing
✨🗣it worked for me…✨
Sir i stay in india how can i solve my costochodrits.i have inflammation in left rib .rib flare with spasms cant even travel small moment also getting spasm.plz guide me.😢
Have seen some wonderful reviews for backpod, may be you should try. And if you are worried the money would go waste if it doesn't work for you, one alternative solution is using a high quality cricket groin guard in place of a backpod. It must be available in most cricket sports shops in India, for below Rs. 200/- . If you find some improvement in a week / 10 days following instructions from a backpod demo video, then may be you could buy the original one. Just my 2 cents, hope it helps!.
PS: I'm no doctor, and this alternative solution was from another TH-cam video. Thx
Get the back pod and search backpod on youtube. The guy who invented it will help you.
A foam roller will not unlock a tight joint
This product is a marvel. Could a baseball do the same thing? I guess? There are literally hundreds of comments you can read that demonstrate the success of relieving and removing Costo symptoms.
No I would use a lacrosse ball to loosen the muscles up. That will get your further than the back pod.
We’ve done a bunch of videos on exc and stretches, check those out
chiropractors rock🔥 it’s a lot of things I didn’t know about my body until I went to a chiropractor. I use a lacrosse ball, do 3 Costo exercises from your video. I’m sure the back pod does work but you still need a chiropractor to actually correct your thoracic spine and neck curvature and posture.
I love Your videos thank you kindly sir 🙏🏾
Thank you!!
I’m so happy to hear that your case was mild enough that the ball helped you.
The creator of the Backpod has a booklet in the box that tells you what else to do. He doesn’t say just use the backpod. He has other professionals to use and things you MUST do to also help you.
I'm using the backpod as well and strengthening and stretching. I go to physical therapy and also use a foam roller. I will also be seeing a chiropractor. I will say it brought me relief in my most painful times in the beginning especially when my old doc was not listening to my pain complaints to begin with. I agree that strengthening and continuous care is important. Daily. Plus you just feel better strengthening.
I have a question though, now that I have loosened my back even more so with the foam roller, my upper back constantly clicks and pops and it never ever did that before! I must have had a very tight upper back! What should I do to counterbalance that popping noises now? just a bunch of strengthening??
Stabilization exc and stretches
We’ve done a a few videos on Costochondritis exercises and stretches check those out!
very good review, very honest. I thought this pod is very expensive, 68 dol on Amazon. I thought at least it would massage my back too for this money
Lol agreed!
Bit with inflation and supply chains that price is now looking ok.
Back pod helps me a lot
but it’s temporary solution
Exactly that’s why you should check out the stretches and exercises we made to permanently fix this condition.
I have been using this for 3 months now everyday. I have noticed slight improvement but not alot. Way too expensive for what it is!! I wouldn't buy one again! Not for the price.
Agreed. Have you seen a chiropractor yet?
@@Synergywellnessny yes plenty. I have spent thousands trying to get rib pain and thoracic pain sorted it has now got to the point of having costochonditis but here in UK we are told by NHS that it is incurable and it is not treated. I have done my research and I know it is curable I just do not have the financial means now to cover the cost of having the treatment unfortunately.
@@odettekempen782 chiropractic can be very affordable and accessible in UK
@@Synergywellnessny it can be but unfortunately you do not know my circumstances. For me no its not assessable and not affordable I had a session 2 days ago they now think I have hypermobile joints. I've been seeing Chiro's for years I found one only this year to put my ribs back into place no one had spotted it for years and all of a sudden I could breath . I do not trust the medical system over here in UK after all I have had people trying to operate in the wrong limbs.
Funny to watch backpod company posing as customers to try and tell us this thing cures costo
when did chris daughtry become a chiropractor?
SEEMS LIKE HE JUST WANTS YOU TO BUY HIS SERVICE INSTEAD. hMMM HOW CURIOUS 🫥
