Are you tired of dealing with the persistent discomfort of costochondritis, those nagging chest and rib pains? The Lumia Wellness Costoblock is here to provide the relief you've been searching for. Many mistakenly believe that costochondritis treatment begins with addressing the chest, but the key lies in targeting the back and thoracic area, where your ribs connect to your spine. Costochondritis Relief Starts Here: The Costoblock is ingeniously designed to focus on the back and thoracic area, precisely where the ribs meet the spine. By using the Costoblock, you can engage and release tension in your back, effectively opening up your rib cage. This, in turn, alleviates the pressure points responsible for discomfort and pain associated with costochondritis. Warning: Seek Medical Attention for Chest Pain: We prioritize your health and safety. If you're experiencing any chest pain, it's essential to consult a doctor immediately, as it could indicate more serious cardiac issues, not just costochondritis. However, if your discomfort is concentrated at the junction of your ribs and sternum, you may indeed be dealing with costochondritis, often triggered by activities like throwing a ball or exerting pressure on this area. But that's not all. The Lumia Wellness Costoblock is not limited to costochondritis relief; it's a versatile posture corrector and chest stretcher. It can help with a range of postural issues, including forward head tilt, ankylosing spondylitis, kyphosis, or anterior pelvic tilt. Don't let costochondritis and poor posture hold you back any longer. Experience the transformative relief offered by the Lumia Wellness Costoblock—a remarkable thoracic spine stretcher, costochondritis relief aid, upper back stretcher, and thoracic support pillow, all in one. Your path to comfort and improved posture starts here. Review: Fast Relief - I’m in love with this. I’ve done physical therapy, used the foam rollers, the back wheels, tennis balls, everything, and this has been the most effective and the fastest relief. It’s small enough that it fits in right where it needs to, it’s not super hard, but it’s not soft either. I’d been struggling with intense pain for days and I laid down in this and immediately felt a pop in my front sternum, and after 20 minutes or so my pain was totally gone. THIS IS AMAZING Review: Wow! Ankylosing spondylitis relief - I have had ankylosing spondylitis for 20 years, I have as a consequence costocondritis and calcified bursitis in my shoulders, kythoptis and forward head posture as well as sacrilitis... I have tried chiropractors, resistance band training and all manner of medications for example methotrexate, steroids and biolgics, i cannot have NSAID's due to having Crohn's disease. I used to lift weights, go to the gym every day and run. Then the pain took over and I was on and off using mobility scooters and walking aids. Recently the stiffness has been travelling up my spine to my neck, my costocondritis and extreme spasms in my flank have really been difficult to live with. I purchased this, it arrived today. So far I have placed this at various positions along my back with pillows to support my head. At first I was unable to raise my arms above my head. Then just my left arm. While my right would only go up enough to rest my palm on my forehead. I couldn't extend my right arm outwards only upwards in front of my face before I had to stop. It is several hours later and I have been able to raise both my arms above my head without the pain including rotation in that bad shoulder. I also tried the pillow beneath my sacral joint. I have had considerable pain and restricted movement in my right hip for years. I am hopeful that with use I can, stretch out my ribs, sacrum and hips. Strengthen my neck, and release the locked up joints and ribs that have contributed to my curved stiff and inflexible joints. As I say, ive had just one 30 minute try of this. I included some chin tucks whilst the item was between my shoulder blades, Followed by a few hours of gentle movement. I can see the benefit potential and am looking forward to more evenings like this one. I feel less pain and looser less clicks and much releived. If you have been struggling for multiple decades with stiff sore and tight joints and muscles which causes secondary pain such as costocondritis and spasms around your flank. Then I have this one night feeling the relief I am now, this is worth every penny! I am tempted to try again but I don't wish to agrivate any joints. Tomorrow I'll try for longer in each position and hopefully manage to raise both arms to give my back a full stretch. I don't usually write such long reviews but I felt that this was amazing and although I read the reviews no one had mentioned my conditions and the results of this on them. My partner even mentioned i was standing taller this evening. NB: mine arrived with 2 long slip resistant grippers on the bottom so reviews noting that is was slippy, fear not, this has been remedied ## Features - Very firm Eva foam provides exceptional support and comfort. This thoracic spine stretcher is made of smooth, semi-gloss non-porous materials that allows for easy cleaning and disinfecting. - Stop that pain you get when you take a deep breath with the Costoblock!

I'd spend a few bucks more on an actual backpod with the instructions written by the actual physical therapist that invented it. **Q: Can you sleep on it?** A: According to my chiropractor, it's not recommended to do so. You may want to consult your own medical specialist. I use mine for about 5-10 minutes at a time. **Q: How often are you supposed to use this product? The instructions only show the positions, not how many times a day to do them.** A: At least once a day or however many times you need to use it for your specific pain or need. I used it once a day in the evening after my work day ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast Relief *by J***L on 28 May 2026* I’m in love with this.
