It seems as though these rope exercises would put a pretty good hurting on lower backs...is that so?

Not if you have the correct stance, which is standing in a squat position with your knees bent and your weight back on your heels (like you're sitting in a chair).

I have not experienced any lower back pain,just like any exercise good form works wonders, my back get muscular soreness but no injury pain. Also my rope came with a DVD instruction which has helped with orientation of proper usage ,hope this helps ?.

Not if you are in the correct posture...wide stance squat without leaning over with upper body....keep body in good technique and lower back will be unaffected.

All depends on the certain movements being done. You might feel it when trying to keep posture and form correct. Other than that if you had previous issues with lower back then you might feel more than others. I have reccommended for certain people to maybe use ropes while sitting on a chair. Although it might seem to some as defeating the purpose, you are still getting the benefits without any type of additonal strain. Older people, knee problems, even back issues chair can be used. Adjustments need to be made for how you are postioned and seated to get the most from it. Hope this helps.... If not just very long winded...LOL LOL LOL All depends on the certain movements being done. You might feel it when trying to keep posture and form correct.

Not really. Just one Laing on back and pulling legs towards chest using the strap. But I do like strap allot for stretching hamstrings and quads.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking but we didn't notice any big strain on the back one way or the other. We were using it for general exercise, so if you increased the tension, you might create more of a "stretch".

I never tried that with any thing other than rope. It might work. It's quite flexible material.

I know it does work the muscles in your back because I can feel that. I would say it has to help your chest also. I have more shoulder problems so I am always concentrating on the shoulder areas. Regardless, it is a great workout and the instructor tells you what group of muscles you are working with so you can concentrate on those areas.

I feel like it worked for me pulling my shoulders back and strengthening my postures muscles. The first day or so my muscles were sore, after that I got used to wearing it the whole day. Give a try, if it doesn't work for you then just return it. Just one note, is if you like sitting where you are leaning against the backrest, wearing this will not work and it would be worse than not wearing it at all because the sandbag in the back will pin all the pressure in one area in your back. It's meant for you to wear sitting straight up, without lying against any backrest.

Let me answer this question one more time. Yes if you fall on your back on the floor and just put your calves in the machine, it will massage them.... But really this machine is designed to massage the bottom of the feet mainly. So if the advertising says "calves" it is theoretically correct but it does not work well...

No, this is a hard foam roller. Allowing it to real break down tight muscles after a workout.

Well somewhat, I think it is mostly for back pain, somehow the magnets in it do work

If the pain is muscular, it might help. It's eased some of the stress in my back when I sit for long periods. Depends on the type and reason for pain, and posture when sitting. I also use it as a back support (behind my lower back) when I'm sitting on the couch watching TV or reading. It's great for that in my case.

I don't feel it would be. It's primarily for stretching your spinal & vertebrae for those persons who have chronic back pain. You are to trying to realign the spine with the stretching & strengthening. The only exercises I've tried when I'm vertical is twisting slightly to the right or left to stretch my side muscles, but I don't try to pull up on it.

being on an incline means you don't pull your entire body weight which many can't do but the reduced amount of weight means you get to do more reps. That said, I think it still works large muscle groups on your back.

Hardly likely, provided the dips are done bio-mechanically correctly. Remember to not go deeper than pectoral level, when 'dipping', as hyper-extension of the delts can lead to painful bursitis, and or, tissue-tears.The machine is very well-designed and once used as directed, shall yield accident-free results.

I would say no. The heat in it is wonderfully subtle. I suppose you could make it hot enough to act like a pad for back pain, but the entire pad, or your side of it anyway, would all be just as hot.

It is good exercise to really stretch your spine. Results in better flexibility & easy to use.

I think it may work great for the lower back & the massager also has a speed adjustment. I hope that helps :) . I use it for my shoulder & for my legs, due to poor circulation & its doing a job so far

Yes. If the person has issues with a tight or sore back, it is a real boon!
