In therapy I had to sit and use this type of tool, can a person sit and use this one?

Yes, but it ended up making a large mark on my door top that I never could get off.

Yes, put it over your door and then sit in a regular chair and you are good to go!

I have not used it that way but I am sure you can. I bought it for my daughter who has carpal tunnel in both wrist. She said its the only thing that helps here. I use it for my back after 4 spine surgeries and a fusion this is my relief from the pain. My whole family now uses it for all pain. The roll on is so easy to use also. Love this stuff never go anywhere with put it with me

I believe the description says it shouldn't be used for sitting, but yes you can sit on it if needed. It's quite stable.

Yes, the seat adjusts to move you closer or further from the handles. One thing I have noticed is that this machine sits you higher then the machine at therapy does. It takes a little getting use to. I prefer the machine at therapy, but for 2k less, this will work. Also, the handles seem to be right on top of you with this machine, not allowing as much range of motion as the machine I used at therapy. Sorry I do not know the name of that machine. Overall it is a good machine. The resistance is set by a computer, instead of the one at therapy that appeared manually set by the therapist. Hope this helps.

The unit is Stiff & is met to be used while the body is at rest. However, I see no reason why you couldn't use if on the job, It's just up to you.

Yes, you can. It will not fall forward. But sometimes then my hand and tool don't fit.

Yes, you can use it that way. But if you use the device it is compatible with you can control the depth of the puncture and it might be less painful for you.

yep. I got an extra set of handles for that. You just have to make sure it is at the proper height for your use. You know, either adjust the chair or the surface you're placing the pedal unit on--depending if you are standing or sitting to use it. It's a really sturdy item, Good quality. I chose that brand because it is the one the physical therapy clinic is using and I knew it was pretty sturdy. You may also have to put some if that rubber net stuff(that is used in drawers or, the kind that got under area rugs- without the sticky adhesive) under the feet of the unit to deter slippage depending on your resting surface.

I use it mostly sitting up. I really think it will do the trick for you. Plus, when you can recline it is very comfortable. Hope this helps and good luck with healing process.

Not really ... the handles sit on top of your shoulders. I doubt that you could position it to massage your shoulders very well.

It has a pamphlet showing where it can be safely placed. For example, trigger point on the bottom of your foot and areas away from your spine and head. It feels as strong as those I've experienced in physical therapy clinics. It's a relief to be able to afford one of my own.

No, I wouldn't use it for any form of treatment. Just recreational use only. Thanks.

ASK Your Doctor. My guess is NO. I have seen inversion 'chairs' that tip you back in a more sitting position with bent knees that may be acceptable to you doctor.
2145679
Yes, if you use it in the standing position. No, if you are using it sitting down.

Yes! However-be very careful because this is a powerful tool and can be difficult to control with one hand!

You can, but they say you should put in an piece (that they provide) to make sure the pedals don't unscrew over time. Also, I recently have used it alot less because I feel since you don't sit exactly (100%) in a straight line from it, I feel my back feels a bit weird after using it alot (I'm also pretty sensitive about my body).
