You can use it for upper and lower body exercises as well as the stomach. There is a video and a large poster with directions and pictures of how to use the chair for each of the different exercises. I was in a wheel chair when I bought it because I had broken my leg and my ankle. After a year of inactivity, I needed to start to exercise again. It worked extremely well for me. I still use it for strengthening exercises.

Yes, there is an "exercise" sheet it comes with and shows how situps can be done. If you put the back rest in the full decline position, then you can sit on the seat, wedge your ankles in and do some situps. It's tough because your back doesn't really hit anything - tighten your abs to stay horizontal and then back up.

Yes there were instructions included. If yours did not come with them, either call the manufacturer or email them. Good luck!Evaluating? Not sure on this but I think it's a lung exercise tool and not something you could use to evaluate your situation. That being said I think if this improves your condition then it's doing it's job. Mine has improved greatly.

I have been using it to roll both my legs and my back -- in particular, my lower back. This is very good for muscle-related lower back pain. If your pain is more structural, I would be very careful. But when I lie on it and roll back and forth, it both cracks my back (much like a chiropractor), which feels good, and it works the lower back muscles in a very similar way to a massage. I have found it very helpful in relieving my lower back muscle soreness which comes from sitting too much and then working out hard. Good luck!

It's worth a try! Also, I've read that people with low back pain have weaker multifidus muscles, so I'd try an exercise for that too. Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis is one resource I've heard about. Hope this helps!

I have been using it for some time. At first I was worried about my back....took it slow and easy making sure to pull my stomach in and not stretch out as far to begin with. After a little over a week I was able to stretch the full stretch out and pull back slowly without pulling on my back. Now I realize it has actually strengthen my back and don't worry about it. Feels great. Good luck and enjoy.

I take it for my knee problem--that I have since I was 16. Without it, it is painful to exercise or climb steps. I notice no change whatsoever in my back and neck pain, though. I actually had no idea it was indicated for that too...

Go to the company website to get a manual. I no longer own that chair, I sold it.

I don't remember any instructions coming with it-though I see from other answers that some did. I learned how to use it during the physical therapy sessions I had to get over the worst of the plantar fasciitis flare up.Basically, you put your foot on it as shown and push your heel down to stretch the back of your leg. Leg straight stretches one set of muscles and tendons; leg bent stretches a different set. At PT, they had me stand my other foot on a 4" step, but I haven't found that to be necessary at home.
