I can but it takes effort or a mirror so you can see the strap behind you. I have fairly limited range of motion of my shoulders due to rotator cuff problems so while it is doable alone, sometimes my wife will help me which is easier. HAving said that, I always put it on myself after a bike ride, so it is possible just takes a little patience.

Yes, it can. I watched the DVD (sold separately), and it showed the muscles worked - those do go down into the neck. They include one muscle, kinda buried in above the larynx (?) where things get fleshy, that they mentioned is particularly hard to work via other methods. Position (jaw out and level with ground) is probably quite important.

You can. I don't typically because I don't want to damage the spine. But its doable

I've turned around and used this for abs, but it doesn't really target the muscles well at all. I only use this for back and sides, and do other things for abs.

I'm a personal trainer and in my opinion, this bar works your core mostly and not the legs or rear. There is a great emphasis on trunk stabilization. Depending on your goals, the lower body can increase endurance by using the bar if you hold a position; (a lunge for example) while using the bar. But I wouldn't expect significant changes in muscle growth or fat loss in the lower body by using this tool. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can do whatever you want with it--I threw it out. I've been doing curls for about 50 years and never needed this device to help me. Also, with heavy weights (at my age I just do reps) the thin strap will dig into your neck. Once you wrap a towel around it, that should help. Don't let the picture fool you LOL.

Note I am not a personal trainer, but here is my experience. I keep my body straight at all times when using this. I find especially for pull exercises it does work the lower back. Really it gives a great all-over core workout. However, for lower back bodyweight training i find nothing comes close to back extensions.

Bottom part rotates on a bolt which acts as an axle. You add weight and do leg lifts. So yes, you can move the bottom part to work your legs.

I'm not a Dr. but I've used this device all over my back area with great results. So long as you can lay it flat and not on a curved area like the top of the shoulder it should work fine. Remember to use lower levels of intenstiy and work up not the other way around because this is electricity, hope this helps, Paul.

You can but for myself, I'd say no. I wouldn't use it to do those routines because it does restrict severe movement. There is flexibility in the belt but with severe movements you have greater awkward feeling of movement.

My 21 year old son does have mild back troubles, but this didn't seem to affect it one way or another. However, most medical professionals will tell you to strengthen your stomach muscles to help your back, so in theory, it would work....BUT....as a person who has had three back surgeries, I would think this type of exercise machine a bit too extreme for someone who has serious back troubles. If your back troubles stem from muscle strain, it may help...but if you have a bulging disk, sciatica or spinal stenosis, I would try something less strenuous.

If your bottom muscles are sore, I'm sure you could. I have a very bad back and my last heating pad died, so I bought this one and it's great! It even works for my neck area, although it's harder to use the massage because there are areas of the pad that stick out and it can get noisy like that. ;)

I'm guessing it would be dangerous to hyperextend your abs that far back, but would ask a trainer or physical therapist.

It could--as long as you have someone to do it. I am pretty limber, and I can't seem to do much with it on my own. Also, the shape of my back or the breadth of it anyway makes the roller high-center on my spine. The ball is WAY too sharp to enjoy having it roll over my back even with a shirt on. It was sort of fun trying this out! thanks for the idea.
