It is ideal for improving posture, relieving back pain, and stretching the shoulders, pelvis, and abdominal muscles. Designed for people who spend long hours behind the wheel, working in an office, or studying, as well as for those with back problems, this prop helps improve flexibility, reduce stress, and promote deep relaxation.
