Important Safety Guidelines for Back Stretchers

This posture corrector is not a foam roller. Do not apply force or use it with dynamic movement. If you have spinal injuries, chronic back pain, joint conditions, or any medical concerns, consult a healthcare professional before use. Do not place this upper back stretcher under your neck or lower back. Always use it on a soft, grippy surface like a yoga mat to prevent slipping.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use Your Chest Opener Tool

Level 1: Gentle Introduction

Sit or lean against the back stretcher for gentle thoracic spine support.

  • Ideal for first-time users or anyone with shoulder blade pain sensitivity
  • Keep your upper back supported by a chair, wall, or sofa
  • Let your shoulders relax naturally to release tension
  • Practice deep breathing exercises while your chest gently opens
  • Start with 3–5 minutes daily, adjusting until you find a comfortable position

Benefits at this level: Gentle relief from upper back tension, improved posture awareness

Level 2: Halfway Reclined

Lean back gently to target forward head posture and shoulder tension.

  • Position the Heart Opener behind your thoracic spine (upper back)
  • Let your spine rest on the curved side of this cork yoga prop
  • Support your head with the chair or use a small pillow for neck comfort
  • Keep your arms relaxed to allow full shoulder blade release
  • Stay for 3–10 minutes while focusing on breathing exercises

Benefits at this level: Corrects forward head posture, opens chest cavity for better breathing

Level 3: Floor Release

Lie on the floor to fully open your chest and achieve spine alignment.

  • Place your posture corrector on a yoga mat, rug, or soft blanket
  • Position it directly between your shoulder blades for thoracic spine support
  • Let your head and pelvis rest on the ground or use a pillow
  • Extend your arms by your sides or gently overhead for a deeper chest opener stretch
  • Begin with 1–5 minutes, gradually increasing to 15 minutes as your body adapts

Benefits at this level: Maximum back pain relief, deepest chest opening, full spine alignment

To come out of the position
