Chirp Wheel Back Stretcher w/ Foam Padding

I will be brutally honest on this review. I initially had given it 4 stars for the overall rating, but I changed it to 5. Here is why... I initially was only going to order the smallest Chirp Wheel for deep tissue but ended up ordering all 3 sizes of the Chirp Wheel from Amazon. At first I was slightly disappointed. As I used the small size wheel first it was much sturdier than any foam roller and perfect for me. I also tried the other 2 larger sizes, but loved the smaller one the best of all 3. You can definitely tell there is a greater stretch and popping for the back with the products than your traditional roller as it targets specifically the vertebrae and muscles along your back and neck. Though at first I was comparing it to the relief of a chiropractic adjustment and there were not too many pops or release of the air pockets of gas along that area. The medium and larger wheel are great as well for a different range of stretching but due to weight training for years I had packed on some decent muscle size to my back. So I needed something firmer and just needed to get in deeper. The smallest one was just the right one. I started using it for about 3 minutes, twice a day and already now in 2 weeks each and every day I feel the muscles getting much more loose, the popping sounds (which I love the sounds, but love the relief even more) are much more. I just did not know how tense the muscles were. I was judging a book by it's cover. But I feel more relaxed and adjusted. I was actually pretty bummed that I felt that purchasing the other 2 wheel sizes was not worth it at least for me, but you know what they both ended up being perfect. Though I still use it from time to time, I was being selfish and thinking how this would benefit me. My mother who is 66 years of age is now using the medium size wheel, as the smallest is too strong for her and the biggest one doesnt give her the stretch she wants. As for the biggest wheel, my dad who is 70 years old loves it too. He has fractured his T3 and T4 vertebrae from a previous accident and has been in several serious car accidents in the past with a steel plate in his hip, shoulder, and right leg. This one is perfect for him and now we religiously use it 1 to 2 times a day. You can pretty much say it's a story of Goldilocks and the 3 Bears but with Chirp Wheels. Wrapping this up what really was amazing was not only the product, but the company as well. A day before I made this purchase I was comparing and debating to pick up the product from the website gochirp.com or from Amazon (primarily from the shipping times with Amazon Prime I was leaning this direction). I did a mock up cart on the website, but went with Amazon with the purchase. About a week later I received an email from the Founder and CEO of Chirp, Tate. I thought it was a generic email that I had items in the cart from the website order that I mocked up, asking if there is anything they can do to answer questions regarding my pending order and offering a 15% discount code. So I replied to the email for fun since I already ordered the day before, but was surprised to get a response back. The CEO of Chirp Wheel and I were communicating via email and I might say a few hours response times between our conversation emails back and forth and not days. I informed him that I already placed the order through Amazon and it came in but was happy and also slightly disappointed regarding the purchase of all 3 wheels instead of the smaller one I was leaning for. Mr. Tate ended up sending me a few links for Youtube videos on how to do different and proper stretching using the wheels. Which I must say was very helpful for the different sized wheels. Just a simple reach out like this makes everything better to ensure that the CEO and the company Chirp, not only care about their products but also about their customers. Thank you for providing your products to consumers like me and many others and continue to reach out to your customers with support and relief, literally. Jason

I was a bit doubtful as to the quality and effectiveness of this product. I have been pleasantly surprised at how well it works. The wheel is made out of quality materials and not cheap plastic. I have been using it to loosen up my back muscles and was surprised that it adjusted my mid and lower back. I try to use it daily for a few minutes. This is not as effective on my upper back. I am not sure how effective this would be for someone who is not able to balance on their back using their feet for support - like prepping to do a backbend. Overall, I am impressed with this roller.

broke after 3 months, but does the job, i will try again, but be more carefull releasing the my weight of 260lbs

I purchased the 2" deep tissue roller as a stocking stuffer for my brother. I couldn't resist trying it out myself before gifting it. I work 40+ hours a week in dress shoes, and frequently experience foot pain and tightness with plantar fasciitis. This little roller is invaluable for easing some of this pain, and I'm in the process of buying another for myself. The roller itself is very firm, but with it's rubberized coating, is much more comfortable than some trigger-point balls that I've used in the past. Due to it's size & shape, it's perfect for rolling your foot on. It doesn't slip out or move side-to-side with it's raised edges. This will be a mainstay under my desk at home, it's very easy to roll your foot on while you complete other tasks. The finish of the item is also very high, there were no rough edges or raised seams on the roller. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Chirp Wheel to anybody who is experiencing foot discomfort.

I have the whole set of these but this small one is my favorite. It's easy to pack so I take it on all of my travels and there's one at my office, too. It helps me to flex my upper back and shoulders during long days of driving or hunching over the computer, alleviating various overuse pain. I've also found that using it regularly helps me to realign the bad posture I've developed from sticking my neck out all day while I drive or stare at the screen, so I can attest to its effectiveness. Aside from this tool, I also have multiple different rollers and stretching tools, but this one is still my favorite. I've had my original set for over 3 years now and it still works perfectly; these are made to last!

I've dealt with persistent back pain from years of office work, and the Chirp Back Wheel has significantly improved my daily comfort. After only a short period of consistent use, I've noticed immediate relief and greater flexibility in my back and shoulders. The wheel is well-made, strong, and feels secure under my weight during stretches. The medium 10-inch size is perfect—it provides a balance of comfort and deep pressure, effectively targeting stubborn knots and tension areas that traditional stretching never quite reached. I find it incredibly easy to use: just a few slow rolls each morning and evening are enough to relieve stiffness and improve posture. Initially, the sensation is intense (in a good way), but quickly becomes soothing and therapeutic after a few uses. While some reviewers mentioned durability concerns, my experience so far has been nothing but positive. The wheel feels sturdy and solidly constructed. It's become an essential part of my wellness routine, greatly reducing my reliance on painkillers and professional chiropractic visits. Overall, if you're looking for a simple yet powerful tool to alleviate chronic back tension or improve spinal flexibility, this back wheel is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended.

I really love this item — it helped my back tremendously. The size was perfect. Unfortunately, it broke the other day from regular use after only 19 months. I’m so disappointed since I took such outstanding care of it. It’s unusable now. I wish it had been better made.

The Chirp Wheel is great! I received it the next day and as soon as my husband started using it, he immediately felt relief from his back pain.
