Moms do a lot. They feed and clothe you, often even after you’ve grown up. They give the best advice. They love you even when you’re really annoying. And some of them even do it all with back pain. Thankfully, we have Mother’s Day as a nice reminder to give back. But this year, don’t give your mom chocolate and flowers. Give her something that shows you actually put some thought into it: the Chirp Wheel. Whether the mom in your life has back pain or just needs a break, there are a lot of reasons the Chirp Wheel might benefit her needs.
This Mother’s Day, whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for your mom or looking for some way to express in words how much she means to you, here’s a list that provides both. These are just the 100 reasons we thought of why moms need the Chirp Wheel instead of generic Mother’s day gifts, I’m sure you can help us come up with 100+ more. And moms, don’t be afraid to buy one for yourself; you deserve it.
P.S. don’t worry, I’m sure someone will still give you chocolate.
What is the Chirp Wheel?
The Chirp Wheel+ is a back roller that stretches the muscles around your spine to relieve upper back pain, lower back pain, neck pain, and hip pain. It is shaped like a wheel so it can fit between your shoulder blades and massage deeply into the muscles around your spine. It comes in three different sizes: Gentle (12 inch), Medium (10 inch), and Deep Tissue (6 inch). The main difference between each wheel is diameter; the smallest wheel applies the most pressure, and the largest wheel applies the least amount of pressure.
