How to use Orevive SpineEase

1. 1Place the cushion where your lower back will rest: a bed, couch, reclined chair or against a chair back.
2. 2Settle in so the contour meets the small of your back. Shift around until it feels right.
3. 3Press the button once to turn it on, and again to change modes.
4. 4Start on the gentlest setting and adjust to suit.
5. 5Relax for around 15 minutes, then turn it off.

Lying down on a bed, couch or the floor lets the contour sit under the natural curve of your back. Sitting against a chair back works too, such as at a desk. The seller also mentions using it in the car — only ever as a passenger or when parked, never in a way that distracts you while driving.

The seller suggests sessions of about 15 minutes, once or twice a day. Longer isn't necessarily better, especially with heat.

• Don't use it while sleeping
• Don't use it on broken, irritated or numb skin
• Stop if you feel discomfort, tingling or pain
• Check your skin after heated sessions
• Follow the instructions in the box — they take priority over this guide

Sit back fully in your chair and slide the cushion into the small of your back. If your chair has a built-in lumbar bump, you may need to adjust the height so the two don't fight each other. Keep your feet flat and take a short break to stand up every 30–60 minutes.

Only use it as a passenger or while parked. The seller mentions car use, but hasn't published how it's powered, so check whether it suits your car before relying on it for road trips.

• Turn it off and let it cool before storing
• Keep it away from water and don't use it in the bath
• Store it somewhere dry, without heavy items on top
• Follow the cleaning instructions in the box — the cover material isn't published

Treat it as part of a wind-down routine: after work, after a long drive or before bed (but not while sleeping). Gentle movement, regular breaks from sitting and good posture all matter more than any single gadget.
