Can the stick be used on your back/neck?

It's too small to be used on your back unless someone else does it for you, and uses it in a small area. The stick is only about 9 inches long, and only about 4 inches are actually for massage. I have tried using it on my neck, but the size and shape really make it best for rolling under your feet.

I tried it on my back a couple of nights. I laid on the floor one night and used my feet to move up and down with sick in my spine. It was a lot of trouble. I tried it on the bed and that was worse. I ended up using my happy massage that you can buy from Amazon. I recommend that for your back and neck. This one was just too hard to work with for your back. It works great for your feet.

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.

Theorectically you could use the stick on your neck and back. You would position the valley on either side to stradle the vertebre. I've never tried it but now that you mention it, I will give it a go tonight. My first thought was it would be darn uncomfortable but I won't know until I try. Great question.

I have only used on my leg and my knee however, it works so well there I would definitely believe it would work on the neck. follow the instructions watch the videos

I tried it and it does seem a little stiff and does not conform to the neck well. I felt some heat but not as much as I do when using on my back because of the inability to conform. You will not be able to use the velcro to hold it on your neck. You will need to secure it with a clothespin or some other kind of clip. Like the others say the batteries do not last for a long time so if you do decide to buy it get about 2 or 3 extra sets of rechargeable batteries to have ready when you need to use it. Also the batteries that came with it no longer hold a charge for me after using them about 15-20 times. I like it for the portability.

It would depend on how wide your neck is. I can get the smaller unit over my shoulder, but it tends to try to flatten out, so it pulls up on the sides. If your neck is broad, it should be able to lay flat enough to stay in place. As far as using it on the head, no TENS unit should ever be used on the head - there is a risk of inducing seizures

My husband uses it during side sleep. While it can be used for someone on their back, it's not ideal. So the answer is yes, with limitations.

It can. The two red circles are what moves, so you can place those on the back of your neck and hold the two straps forward; however, you can place the two red circles down on the top of each shoulder. Just know that if you place the two red circles on the back of your neck, the top of your shoulders will not be massaged at the same time. I hope this helps.

Only for the neck. It's very easy to use to stretch and decompress your neck.

Yes you can. There's an adjustable lash on the back as you can see on the bottom of this picture: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAwMFg3NDY=/z/TscAAMXQ1d1TH8h1/$_35.JPG

Yes! You can put it anywhere on your body, but the hard to reach places like your back might not be a good idea unless you have someone to help you, Because you really got to work the product in to make sure its even/streak-free.

I don't see why not. The shape of the pad might make for awkward placement on the front of the shoulder but it could work. I am using it between my shoulder blade and spine.

From what I remember reading it's ok to use on the upper back . Do not use it on your chest or head. Hope this helps. Also, if you are going to use this frequently, the batteries need changing often.

the literature within the package quite specifically states this is for use on backs and legs, and suggests that neck and and should not be used.

I don't see why not. It is used on upper shoulders, back, knees, elbows. I didn't know if it would work for me, but it has, For the money it's well worth a shot.

If you are already using a "wired" tens unit on your lower neck and upper back, you'd probably be ok, even though it doesn't say you can use it for your neck. I don't recall it actually being called a tens unit, but it's the same principle. It is not as powerful as one your doctor would get you from a medical supply company.

I use it for my back and I love it! I don't see why it can't be used for any part of the body that needs it!

Yes you can. It is the nicest heating pad because you can adjust the temperature in degrees instead of Hi, Med, and Lo. I use it everyday for my back and neck. It is a really nice size pad.

Don't know. I'm not balck though...but my guess is yes! It's bump free (for the face though). I haven't use it on my head...but on my back neck and it works good.
