How easy is it to lean back? Does it take much pressure to lean back, 1-10, 1 being easy, 10 being hard. Thanks!

honestly i cant answer that in numbers, to me its the right amount of counterweight. its easy to lean back if you lean back but its straight when your sitting normally as well. to me if you need a real number its a about 5 being about neutral

Not very. I'm having major low-back problems when I wake up. I'm looking for a way to make it feel firmer or else I'll have to find a firmer one. Good luck!

When you are fully inverted it locks into place. You don't have to do anything, but need to bd fully inverted. Your back doesn't really touch the table any more when you are fully inverted.

You can't lean back on them, they just give a slight lumbar support, more to push you into a forward position. I could sit in this for a long time, it is just like sitting on a regular hard chair, very slight cushioning. My only complaint is that the foot rest is attached to the swivel so if you want to swivel, which is what I tend to do when I am thinking, you have to grab onto another object.

No, Lauren you don't feel awkward. It is all fully adjustable which is what sold me! The back rest is padded and just kinda supports the curve of your back. If it doesn't hit in the right spot you can move it up and down. It isn't to lean against though. I was surprised at how comfortable it was to sit in. Hope that helps!

Make sure your posture is aligned. I felt tightness in my core because of sitting upright better.

The chair does not tilt back...or if it does, I have yet to discover that feature. I should mention that it comes with very inadequate instructions. Even those for putting it together were pretty useless. Fortunately, it isn't all that difficult to work out anyway. And there is no other information included. So there might be a feature I missed. OTOH, it's a very comfortable and good looking chair and I'm pretty happy with it.

Hi,It is not hard at all. Once you are laying backward you can pull yourself up to do crunches very easily unless you are very, very impaired. Thanks

In a low-backed chair I hold onto both handles, lean forward slightly after turning the machine on, bring it over my head and place it where I need the pressure. Usually I have the large part of the motor housing facing downwards. The best is when lying down on your bed and adjusting the pressure on your neck and shoulders by putting a pillow under your shoulders to put you body higher than the Massager. If I want more pressure, I just get a thinner pillow or folded bath towel. Sometimes I reverse the position of the machine 180 degrees depending on what part of my spine needs pressure. But, as you noticed, it is heavy and clumsy. I would have designed it with the orbiting "fingers" off-set higher than the motor housing to get better contact with my trapezoid muscles by my neck and shoulders. All things considered, even though it's not perfect, it is better than the other gadgets I found.

It's kind of tricky. Relax and don't force it. Push one of the bottom leg bars first. I thought it was a pain at first, too.

Not difficult. I'm 76, have a bad back and have difficulty getting up and down. As mentioned, the more tedious process is getting the box unpacked and organized. I have a small utility table that I was able to use for most of the construction so that I didn't have to get up and down off the floor. I took a lot of breaks, but was able to finish the assembly in less than a day. Total work time was probably 3-4 hours. This is a great grille and worth the time it takes to put it together.The delivery guy came late at night and was kind enough to put the box on my back patio. The box was very large and weighed over 200 lbs, so I would have had a difficult time with it otherwise. Not difficult. I'm 76, have a bad back and have difficulty getting up and down.

It's pretty easy. I've found it's easiest to grab the top middle and pull to the angle I want. The only thing I could consider a downside is that to adjust back down you have to go past the highest adjustment to go back down.

Its easier on your back and shoulders because your not bending over. This is because your grip is next to you instead of in front of you. Hope this helps.

The back portion is technically stationary, but it if you wanted to lean back (whole upper body sort of way, like of you wanted to stretch out) it has some give. Otherwise, it is not very flexible for back portion by itself. Hope that helps a bit.

I have lower back problems. Everyday that I am in NY I hang for 3 min. daily. I swear by it. It takes ALL of the pressure off and I am fine for at least that day and maybe a few others. You can feel the release. I am in good shape otherwise.

it most definitely conforms. i'm a heavier person, but even my kids sunk down in it a bit. it FEELS great, and yes, it does almost feel like you're in a comfortable supported position when lying down. i just noticed after a few nights that my hip and back felt worse....almost like when i attempted to roll over onto my stomach or side as i always sleep, is when i ran into issues.

The pressure is not hard at all. It becomes harder if you press harder against it. FYI: I'm a small Asian female.
