How many back positions will it take - just had 2nd reverse shoulder REPLACEMENT in past year and it's still hard to reach lower center of back.

My husband uses this when he had his hip replacement and for other issues. He said using this was no problem for him. Sorry I cannot help you in regards to your reaching issues.

I believe there are three or more possible positions. I find that I have no trouble reaching my lower back by coming at it from the side as well as by going over my shoulder. It is a tool that I am very happy with.

Unfortunately, I gave the brush as a gift so I cannot answer this question.

Because of the length and the multiple "bend" positions, it should reach all positions of your back even if your shoulder won't rotate well. Beware, though, that there is a limited amount of pressure you can use on the device before the hinge will snap (it is not a plastic with great strength), and the brush itself is so extremely soft (like a baby brush) you will be tempted to use a lot of pressure just to notice the brush has had contact with your skin.

Hello Ozog! I measured it especialy for you))) Neck support area is not same thick everywhere))) Yes. From one side let's say it's bottom for me, so for my neck: right in the middle it's 3,5" and at the sides it's 4 1/4" (which is exactly my shoulder side). So when I sleep on my back it's lower and when I sleep on my side I just turn to one of sides and my shoulder relax too. But if you're man you'll enjy to turn it upside down and you'll sleep on side which is opposite to my bottom) Measurments there are 4" in the middle and 5 1/4" at the sides. Thus man shoulder will relax too. Sorry for mistakes, I always in hurry when typing. I can just add to my previous wow that time passed and I still think it's the best solution for my neck. And it's universal for man and woman. So you can turn it and find your comfortable side. If you buy it, you'll be very surprised about it shape. This picture doesn't show sides. Sellers do not realize that they could sell much more if they show sides.

The arms have 6 adjustment positions so yes they can be set so you don't have to reach back too far. It doesn't hurt your shoulders. You control how many plates you put on it. I use it 3 or 4 times per week starting with 40 pounds and up to 70 pounds with my last set...and I'm 60. So no worries.

I am not a Physical Therapist. Doesn't sound like a good idea to be doing archery after shoulder surgery...check with your surgeon. Shoulder replacement is still tricky and not as solid as knee and hip replacements. Wishing you much good health.

I am not familar with bodybackbuddy. However, my theracane is what I call a "God-send". To be able to apply pressure to the back muscles is basically "instant" relief of back and shoulder pain for me. I tend to slouch, at age 73, and this helps me realign. I will never travel anywhere with out it.

I agree it's a little tricky. Try pulling up from the lowest part of the seat...just a little bit, and then you can push down from the top part of the seat. Another way is to grab the center of the middle bar in the back, (just below the seat) and at the same time pull up from the bottom of the seat.I also bought another one which is much easier to use.

After consulting your doctor and given green light, definitely give the Turkish Getups, Arm Bar and shoulder presses a go. I'd suggest learning the proper techniques via an RKC or Strongfirst instructor and NOT via YouTube...there's a lot CR@P out there and you may not know which one is the "right" one to follow.Oh yeah for got to mention I had shoulder reconstruction surgery years ago and no problem. I even practice balistic type movements but would not suggest that for you until you mastered above exercises first.

I never counted how many positions there are. However, the bacl csn go sll thr esy doen. You Back can stop at any point before it is level. The foot rest is only one level--either up or all the way down like a regular chair. I use it mostly to get up from the chair.

I'm 220#'s and it will do this, complete upside down, for me. I don't use that position very often but it is there. Mike C.

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.

The bench will lock into 9 positions. The bench will do a slight decline in its lowest setting, flat, and 7 different incline positions. The highest incline is not exactly 90 degrees but it is very close and definitely adequate enough to do shoulder presses. Hope this helps

Looks the same to me. I had to send mine back because it hurt my shoulders. Also you should not use this machine if you have had a back fusion.

There wasn't really a trick . i just read the directions. However I must warn you to be careful operating when fully extended. Very hard to manage fully extended without straining the shoulder. I had the harness to relieve some of the tension, what a piece of crap.

I haven't tried it lying down. As Roxy answered, your bottom wouldn't be aligned with the rest of your back. There isn't much "give" to it, so that could be uncomfortable. It might help you with sitting, though. It takes some getting used to. Best wishes for complete recovery.

Yes. So there is a set of two, left and right. If you wanted to use them for both left shoulder, for instance - then the roller return would be backwards on one of them. They worked out great for me.

Not a lot of support for the lower back. On another issue, the hydraulic lift has failed within a month. If you are over 200 lbs look at a different chair.

We have one of those blank de blank recliners on which my wife cannot recline because she cannot return to an upright position without having me come to her rescue. The mechanism is not appropriate, or the spring is too rigid, something is wrong. I am considering getting another recliner for my wife who is now 87 and cannot get her earned relief from this misnamed monstrosity.
