The Body Bridge

We have been using a device called The Body Bridge to get a gentle backward
stretch, but after reading your book we wonder if it's putting too
much curve on the spine. Are you familiar with that product, and if
so, do you think it's positive? This link shows what I'm referring to:

We had someone else ask about this device and ordered it for a trial period. We returned it, finding that it didn't do anything significant to help structure or symptoms. The curve is just spread evenly over the entire back. I recommend increasing the curve at L5-S1 in particular (see the post here http://gokhalewellness.com/forum for a suggestion on how to do this). For the rest of the spine a slight even curve is okay, but you don't need equipment to get there.
