Back2Life Review

Have you ever caught yourself saying "boy, they sure don't make them like they used to". I have, and I'm only 32 years old. But it definitely seems like we live in a world where products just don't live up to the hype. It gets to a point now where you don't trust anything you see anymore.

We've all been there. All of us have had problems and we need solutions. We see a commercial or an ad about a product that supposedly will take care of this problem that were are having. Only to find out its just another scam, or its just a flat out junky product.

In the history of home massagers, there have been A TON of cheap, second rate products. I'm not saying there haven't been good ones, but the vast majority of them are a complete waste of money. I could draw from my own experience to know that's true. Ever since my later 20s, I have always had some back problems

When I was a kid, you don't think about these kind of things. I remember growing up, my father would always get backaches, but as a child you don't think that's ever going to happen to you. When you are a kid, you think you are invincible. You just assume that you'll always be in tip-top shape.

By the time, my late 20s came around, my back would get these strong back spasms, where it would just stiffen up on me all of a sudden. It was really rough.

Sometimes, I would wake up in the morning, and I would be fine, while other times, I would wake up, and it felt like I was sleeping on a hardwood floor. There were times, I had to ask my boss if I could leave early from work, because my back was bothering me so much.

I remember reading that 80% of people experience some kind of back pain. I suppose its nice to know that I wasn't alone, but just because other people were going to through the same things I was, doesn't mean that my pain just magically went away.

I knew that I had to take care of this as quickly as possible. I knew that my back problems were going to get a lot of worse before they get better. Here I was, in my 20s, and was experiencing problems that most people in their 40s have to deal with. i could only imagine how bad it was going to be when I reached middle age.

I setup an appointment to see a chiropractor. After he checked me out, he said that it wasn't anything serious but that i would need some adjustments. So I went to see him on a fairly regular basis. I actually went to see him 2 times a week. The adjustments helped, especially after the treatment. But the pain and stiffness would really kick in the few days following the treatment.

I worked as a stocker for a supermarket. In that kind of job, back pain was fairly common. One of my co-workers, Dave, who was experiencing similar kind of back pain, told me that massages were great, and that I should look for a massage therapist.

So, I was already seeing a chiropractor. Now I was going to see a massage therapist. Well.....I am glad Dave suggested it, because it was phenominal. My back felt great and I was completely relaxed. There was one small problem, though. It cost me $80 for a 30 minute massage. What made it worse was that my insurance company didn't cover it. So it was all out of pocket.

So, as much as I enjoyed them, there was NO WAY, I was going to be able to afford to do this on a consistent basis. Heck, i was still paying $10 out of pocket for each visit to the chiropractor (my insurance didn't fully cover it).

I knew that I had to get some kind of home massager. It was, by far my cheapest option.

Since, so many people experience back pain, there were no shortage of back massagers on the market. I asked my chiropractor if he had one he specifically recommended. He basically said they were all pretty much garbage.

I didn't listen to him, though. I just assumed there had to be a quality back massager somewhere on the market. Well....unfortunately for me that wasn't the case. I've lost track of how many back massagers I have purchased, but here is just a short list of some that I have purchased:

Needless to say, I didn't have much success with any of these products. I guess if I had to pick a product that helped me the most it was the Variable Speed Jeanie Rub Massager, but that's not really saying much either. It would give me some relief for about an hour, then the stiffness would come back.

Honestly, I was just getting frustrated with the whole thing. I just couldn't tell if these were junky products, or they just weren't helping me, specifically. I knew that there had to be some people buying these kind of products and seeing some kind of positive results.

I was so sick of paying A LOT of money for products that just weren't working. I remember telling Dave, who was also looking for the holy grail of home massagers, that I was fed up spending my money on this kind of stuff. I told him that he should quit looking too. He was only wasting his money. But he was a little more optimistic about it than I was. He said "we'll eventually find something that works".

I told him to "knock himself out and keep searching". For me, I was resigning to the fact that this was just the way it was going to be for me. I was going to have to go through life with this kind of back pain. I'd get some relief from when I saw the chiropractor, but there were going to be days where my back was going to stiffen up on me. I figured that a lot of people deal with this kind of problem everyday, and I was going to be one of them. There wasn't a whole lot I can do about it.

It had been a couple of months since I decided to give up on searching for a home massager. In the meantime, my back had good days, and my back had bad days. I had strangely gotten used to it.

Anyways, it was a regular night at work. I was actually going to stock with Dave that night. I hadn't seen him in about 3 weeks. So it was going to be fun to catch up while we work.

One thing struck me right away, as I saw him lifting crates. He had a little more spring in his step than I remembered.

I said " I mean you look like one of those old guys from the movie Cocoon after jumped in the pool". He laughed and said "nah....I just feel good".

I noticed he wasn't favoring his back like he normally was, and he had a little better posture than I remember.

I asked him "have you done something different?" He said "Yeah......but you probably don't want to hear about it." (Dave's a bit of a smartass).

I told him "Come on!!!! Come clean already." He told me that he has been using this product called Back2Life . I had never heard of it, which instantly made me suspicious.

But he told me he's been using it for a little over month now, and he was really happy. I asked him "how come you didn't tell me about it before?" He said, "I know how you feel about those products. You would have just told me that I was wasting my money."

Me, being the pessimist that I am, I still thought it was waste of money. But I told him I would check it out.

So, I went to the Back2Life website, to see what is all about. I kind of lackadaisically looked at the website. I saw the little video, and honestly, it looked kind of........well...........gimmicky. I wasn't really impressed. I had been so sick of these "can't miss products".

But wouldn't you know it, that night my back really became stiff. It was one of my worse spasms ever. I couldn't sleep, and the discomfort was really bothering me. I knew it would eventually go away, especially because I had my appointment with the chiropractor the following day, but it made me reconsider Back2Life. (funny how that works, huh?)

So, I went back on the computer and surfed around to see what most people were saying about the product, and surprisingly (to me, anyway) there were a lot of positive comments.

I was reading about people who were having similar back problems as me, talking about how this product was able to really help them. Most amazing, was the fact how quickly they said there back start to feel a little better. (kind of like Dave).

I must say that I was starting to become interested, but in the back of my mind, I couldn't get passed the fact that I was worried that Back2Life would be just another scam.

Free 30 Day Trial???

I noticed on their website that they were having a free 30 day trial on the product. It's obvious that they were trying to sweeten the deal.

It was nice of them to do so, but if you ended up not liking the product, you would not be reimbursed the shipping and handling (both ways), and if you did like it, it would cost $200.00!

You might have guessed that I'm a bit of a cheapskate. So I figured there is got to be a cheaper way. So I went to one of my favorite sites, eBay. I figured if there was a bargain to be found it was going to be on eBay, and I was right. I saw some "buy it nows" for $169.00. But they also had a bunch of them in auction, so I thought I would try to win it like that.

I ended up winning an auction and paying $148, including shipping. So, I saved over $50 compared to what I would have paid if I bought it direct from Back2Life .

I knew that this didn't come with a free 30 day trial. But I figured, if it didn't work for me, I could just resell it on eBay, and it will probably even out. But if it worked, I just saved myself $50.

Anyways, I bought it from a good eBay seller, who was kind enough to pack it and ship on the very same day that i purchased it. It arrived 2 days later.

I was really pumped to try it out. When it arrived, I took out my box cutter, and quickly opened it up. It was like Christmas morning, when I was a kid. I took a look at the machine and I started to read instructions. I was surprised to find that it was really simple to use.

I use it for 12 minutes in the morning, and then 12 minutes at night. It gently stretches your spine, while loosening tight muscles and releasing the pressure between your vertebrae.

The Regimen Begins

You may not have guessed, but I am not exactly what most people call a patient person. I'm the kind of person that needs instant gratification. When I buy a product, I want to see it work right away. But in this case, I made a conscious decision to take it nice and slow.

After all, Rome wasn't built in a day, so I shouldn't expect my back to be fixed that soon.

That being said I was hoping for the best, and expecting the worst.

I started the next morning with my first 12 minute session. The process is pretty relaxing. There is nothing really strenuous about it. It's kind of funny, but you don't really feel like you are doing anything. I finished my first 12 minute session, and I didn't feel any different at all. I did my second session later that night, and again, felt no difference.

I woke up with next morning with some stiffness on my back, a little worse than the day before. So, my paranoid little mind starts working overtime. I think that maybe Back2Life is what caused this stiffness. It was pretty silly to think that, though. It's been something that has been happening to me for several years now. It would be kind of ridiculous to blame it on Back2Life .

Well.....a week had passed.....and I hadn't really noticed any kind of improvement. I was thinking....."here we go again. It's another piece of junk product". "When will I ever stop falling for this stuff?"

But I said I would give it a fair chance, and continue to do it. If nothing changed, I would stop the regimen in a month.

But something interesting in the middle of the third week. I forgot that I had an appointment with my chiropractor, one day. That never happens!!! Do you know why? Because I'm always thinking about my chiropractor appointment. The reason is because, it represents relief from my discomfort. I know at least for that day, my back will feel a lot better.

But because I wasn't feeling any pain or discomfort, I forgot all about it. I didn't even realize I forgot all about it until the receptionist from the chiropractor's office called me the following day to tell me I didn't make my appointment, and I needed to reschedule it.

After I got off the phone with her, I kind of chuckled. It dawned on me that I have been relatively pain free in the last 3 or 4 days. It had been a while since that happened to me. It totally sneaked up on me. I couldn't help but think that maybe Back2Life had something to do about it.

So I decided I was going to stick with it, a little longer.

Well...... cut to three months later, I have been using Back2Life twice everyday, and I feel incredible. It's like night and day, compared to what I used to be.

Sure, I may have the very rare day when my back is a little stiff, but its nowhere near as debilitating as it used to be.

So, What's The Final Verdict

If you are still wondering if Back2Life is a scam, let me lay those worries to rest. It's definitely NOT a scam. I really wanted to do this Back2Life review to help all those people who are experiencing pain or discomfort in their back, and are skeptical about most of the products that are on the market. I know what you are going through, and I just wanted to tell you that there is a product that can help.

It isn't just the simple fact that it's helped my back. There is so much more:

I'm a happier person: Let's face facts. When you are in pain or discomfort, you can't help but be in a bad mood. It's only natural. Who is going to walk around with a smile on their face, when they don't feel well? Nobody. I used to be really short with people. I was a lot more irritable. But now, I'm much better. I have a much friendlier demeanor.

I'm getting back in shape: Obviously when you have back problems, one of the many things you are not going to be able to do is workout or go to the gym. But ever since my recovery, I'm in as good of shape as I was, when I was 21. I'm playing basketball, which is something I haven't done since my mid 20s. I'm not very good at it, but who cares? I'm enjoying it.

I'm able to sleep a lot better: Prior to Back2Life, there were quite a few sleepless nights. I could never find a comfortable spot. Any position I would be in, would stiffen up my back. That's no longer the case. I get a full 8 hours on most nights, which is completely new territory for me.

If you are thinking about getting Back2Life, the only thing that I recommend is that you might want to get from a place like eBay. You'll probably find a better deal. If saving a few bucks isn't a big deal, then you can just get it straight from the Back2Life website.
