Plexus Wheel 12 Inch - Back Stretch Roller & Back Wheel for Yoga - Great for Classes Or in-Home Use - Optimal Back Roller Yoga Wheel for Back Pain Relief - USA Made

I've always carried my tension in my back muscles. These past 3 years, my back has been so tight, it not only pulls my spine out of alignment, but it also causes migraines, indigestion, chest pain and tinnitus.I bought this yoga wheel last week and have been using it 2 - 3 times a day since it arrived from Amazon.Since day 2, NO back pain, NO headaches, NO indigestion, NO chest pain and minimal tinnitus.YAY!♡ Update: its been over a month now and the results keep getting better and better. I will never go a day without using my Plexus yoga wheel.

This this is magic :) Aside from a great balancing act it makes for a wonderful heartbench and stretching tool... especially when practicing hanumasana :) aka front to back split. It really helps open up the muscles no matter where you use it. It's helped with my balance, strength and most definitely my focus.. This is a winner!If you are looking at this you probably do yoga. Remember what your teacher always tells you... "know your practice" & "progress not perfection"..... get yourself a spotter if you are trying something crazy.... or a helmet maybe lol It can be dangerous! Seriously though. Just start with basics and build up to your fullest expression of the pose... on a wheel lol Also if you have kids who like your things (all kids right?) they are going to want to touch this, use it, roll it down the hall....etc. my point, just be careful with little ones.. and yourself :)I bring it to my classes and everyone has to try it. I use this practically everyday. So if you don't want to share I don't suggest bringing it. It's a cool tool though! You can't blame themIt was delievered fast through prime and was about 80 bucks. It's a good brand though. It's sturdy and though I use it a lot it has maintained it's original appearance.I use baby wipes when I'm done with it to keep it clean and they work fine. I figured if they are safe for a baby's bottom than I can definitely use them on this!I would definitely recommend this particular yoga wheel over others. The padding is thin enough to keep its shape, durable to withstand a lot of use, easy to clean and by far the best when it comes to grip. I put an up-close pic of it so you can see it is textured. Those square bubbles really male the difference. Your hand (or feet) want to stay in place on this thing. As wheels do like to turn... "grippage" is essential.Yes to Plexus! Thumbs up all the way :)

I love this product! It's very sturdy and I use it every day. With the way it stretches my back, I'm actually more energized to get through the day. I have had a broken back (in childhood); was banged up in a boat accident in my mid-20s; and now recovering from pregnancy and childbirth in my mid-30s. My back has taken a beating but I've slogged through staying active through all of it. But with this new back tool in my arsenal, I am energetic and feeling really great! My chiropractor, that I love and continue seeing, suggested I get the Plexus wheel for in-between our now every other week appointments. I dragged my feet and wished I hadn't! So 6 weeks later I finally bought it and LOVE IT! I do strength training, chiropractic, deep tissue massage and stretches that include the Plexus wheel basic maneuvers. This tool really pepped up my wellness and I feel like I shaved 15 years off my, previously low, energy levels! And I've had it for less than a month, so it works fast! I also have a nice mattress to sleep on, so this has fixed what all my other wellness attempts only reached for all these years. I recommend this to anyone! My cousin is now using it and another new Mom friend is also using it too. Once you feel this good you get addicted!

For what feels like years, I have suffered terrible back problems, specifically in my shoulder blade area. Countless massages and chiro visits only tamed the knot for so long. My chiro recommended this wheel and while I was hesitant at first, I had nothing to lose. This thing is the real deal. I’ve saved so much money from having to go to the masseuse or chiro these days when I get the relief I need with this magnificent invention. It’s great for daily stretches as well but it’s helped me so much with my shoulder blade area. I love that it’s so multifaceted that you can practically do anything with it. I promise to those of you with those terrible knots that this will really help ease your pain, I can’t recommend enough!

UPDATE- 8/8/2017 I used to think these wheels were the bee's knees until the foam started separating from the wheel with minimal use, and I ended up purchasing a Clever Yoga wheel, which is so much more comfortable (wider, more stable, better padding that doesn't come apart) and is less money. I tried contacting Plexus for a fix but am still waiting for a response. I do not recommend these.OLD REVIEW: I am a new yogi using this to increase my back flexibility and recover from injury. I've been able to use this very slowly and carefully a little bit every day to help strengthen my back and open up my chest. Happy to have a stable tool like this to ease me into back bends, which can be a bit difficult for me currently.It can be a bit intense at first, so I just learned to take it slow doing my stretches every other day with short sessions then every day with longer sessions once my flexibility increased.Shipping was super fast on this too - only a few days to reach me from order placement.

This gets to my spine a lot better than a foam roller, but may be intense for some. I'm fairly flexible and have a lot of shoulder pain and this works well for me. I recommend watching some videos!

Excellent opener for back bands or just to stretch a hunched back.As a yoga enthusiast I decided to buy this yoga wheel after I tried it ( my friend got one). What a helper for back bends! I am using it daily to reopen my rib cage and get more flexibility in upper thoracic spine region. This wheel is great! Definitely worth it, if you care about your posture!
