Can you use it on more that just your neck and shoulders? Does the shape and flexibility of it allow you to also use it on your lower back and other body parts?

With connective tissue problems I have used the heat wrap on my lower back, neck, shoulders, arms at just about any area. It always fits the bill for me.

Yes, it is extremely soft. It folds and contours to fit the lower back or wrap around a thigh or arm.

I suffer from fibromyalgia and connective tissue disease so I needed something that I could wrap not only around my neck and shoulders but also around other areas. This pad does a good job in any position I have needed it to work in.

cannot really answer that honestly as I never used it. When it arrived I read the box and it stated that one should never use near oxygen and since I am COPD I am on the stuff 24/7.

I currently use it BECAUSE I'm having major neck issues. It helps with your posture in that it pulls the shoulders back. It makes your head feel heavy when you take it off at night. I hope this helps. If you're already having neck issues, hopefully it is helping to keep them from getting much worse.

I use it for my back, neck, knees, shoulders.....anything that hurts! I have two & use them almost every day. 'I use it @ the first sign of pain or overuse and it 'nips it in the bud' and I can go back to work or play....

I use it specifically for neck but by stretching gently can get a good stretch on back and hips

I know you are never supposed to use any kind of TENS machine on the neck, face or chest, as it can affect heart rhythm. I use it on my back, hips and legs....if you need a specific area, google tens machine and the area, and you will come up with a better answer for those areas than I can give you...I want you to know though, I get nice relief in the areas I mentioned!

You can drape this over your shoulder and lower neck. For the full neck I would lay it on a pillow and just lay down on it. A little awkward but I think you could make it work. Love this item, really flexible.

Yeah you can use it for other things but it's definitely made for your back. I would use a smaller shaver for other areas

My problems are all in the lower back (Lumbar and Sacral), so I am not certain. As this uses body weight to stretch the spine, I can't imagine that it would be as effective on upper back/neck issues. I would want to try before purchasing such a device for your purposes. I do hope that helps.

I did not and would look into if you can use these types of devices on your neck. I did use it on my shoulder blades and upper back.

I use it on my lower back; my husband uses it on his foot; I believe it would work quite well on the neck, too.

I don't know if it's used for that. I know it works great on my partially herniated disks in my neck and my shoulder joints.

Absolutely. It is great for back, neck, knees etc. sometimes I but it on my lower back while I take a walk and it feels really good.

Yes, it is great to be used for either body area. However, it you have colored or permed hair, you will need to condition with the correct additives.

I use the back magic twice a day. I use the first level (there are 3 levels). I use it not only to stretch my lower back but also to stretch my thoracic (middle to upper back) due to stress or long sitting at work. Use a pillow for your head when you are using it in level's higher than 1 one or when you're doing the thoracic stretch. Roll off the product when you're done.

I bought this as a part of a workout program I am doing. I use it mostly for soft tissue work. But I have used it on my back. Mostly for just stretching out muscles. That said, I have noticed that it really does help with tightness in my back when I use it. As a consequence, I now use it sometimes when my back is hurting. However the exercise program I am doing is also helping strengthen my back muscles as well. Long answer but this is how it is working for me.

I have used it on my upper back and it has helped with back pain from time to time. Sometimes I get a pinched nerve right below my shoulder blades and rolling this up and down the length of my spine seems to help it. The nubs hurt while doing it, but the next day it feels a lot better.

No. The width of this device is too narrow to cover both shoulders at once. Check the size of the shipping box in the description if you want confirmation. This works great on the neck.
