A gentle reminder that I'm a hunchback

Recommended Thumb_up

I'm recovering from a herniated disc in the back and constantly have lower back issues. I've been using LUMOback for a week and so far I love it. I'm constantly aware of bad posture and correcting for it. I'm noticing now that I'm sitting up straight and standing tall subconsciously. I think that's the point. I've noticed a slight improvement in my lower back pain. I suppose a week isn't long enough to notice a substantial improvement, but it definitely feels better. Just a quick note: The first few days were a bit strange. My co-workers were constantly laughing at me adjusting my posture and trying to get comfortable. But by two or three, it was all good! I highly recommend this product for anyone who has back pain and wants to improve their posture.

Great idea, needs more device support.

Not Recommended Thumb_down

Reason(s) for not recommending: Unable to try it - No Android support and I have an older iPhone and iPod, which was incompatible.

I was excited for LUMOback, as I have terrible posture and wanted something to help me improve my body's form. LUMOback seemed like a great idea - alerting me when I'm slouching and tracking my posture in realtime. After I received the package in the mail, I first proceeded to charge the sensor. After a couple of hours, I tried to turn it on, but couldn't figure out how. I'm one of those people who don't like reading manuals. So, after a while, I decided to look at the Getting Started guide and talking with their support, I realized I couldn't use the LUMOback by itself. It had to be activated first through an iOS device. I'm an Android user, so I lucked out. Although, I had old iPhone and old iPod touch laying around, they were unfortunately too old and incompatible with the app. I had hopes that the LUMOback could be used without an iOS device, but that didn't work out. They don't have Android support at the moment, which is the primary reason I wouldn't recommend the LUMOback. So if you're a non-iOS user, wait until they support more devices, otherwise I'm sure the LUMOback would be a cool device for correcting your posture.

This product is amazing in how it detects your posture. Helps to keep your back straight and improve your osteo health ! Easy to use, link, turn on and charge. I highly recommend this product to anyone needing a "coach" for back related issues!
