This tool is effective for relieving upper back pain and realigning the spine. If you have bad posture or a hunchback, the Upper Back Bolster can help to open your chest and straighten your posture.

2. Carefully slide the Upper Back Bolster into a position along your spine that feels most natural and relaxing.
3. Stretch your arms up above your head, parallel to the floor, as you exhale tension. Then breathe comfortably and slowly move your arms out and down to your sides with your palms facing up. Repeat this 5 times (like making a very slow snow angel).
4. With your arms stretched out 90 degrees to the side, breathe deeply into your chest and belly and breathe out, allowing your chest and abdomen to slowly deflate. Expand your chest as much as you can and release your breath like a deflating balloon.
