would this help my hamstrings aswell? or only quads?

I believe it would help either. I purchased it for a hamstring strain and it really seemed to help.

I bought for my hamstrings. It gave me great support and relief while using.

I used it for a strained hamstring and it helped - you just have to get the size that will go up high enough. Good luck!

It should, plus you should so some squats while taking it also. Those should help

Hello, I own a very, very old machine but it still works on the same principles. I would say that yes, this machine will give your upper body a great workout, more so than the legs. Use less legs and use only the arms and upper body and you will feel the burn. I think it is a great invention and hard to find for some reason. Good luck on your workouts! LT, USA

No. This is for groin and inner thigh support. It will not help your hip problem.

I would say no. It's best for wrapping around both ankles, and doing side, front, or back leg raises. This also strengthen hip muscles.

I would think it would. As you balance you are utilizing smaller muscle groups such as hip flexors ( those tendon feeling muscles on the front of your hips) along with your abdominal muscles which support the lower back and hip area.

I use it to stretch my groin too (besides thd hammy) .. so it may. My straddle got closer to the ground but my intention was not to be able to do a split

I used for metatarsalgia and they helped. I would "guess" they would help you as well.

I am not 100% sure - I jump rope outside. It should help some. It is pretty dense - in a good way.

I only use it at less than half its full strength. It hurts at higher speeds so I believe that it will serve you well. What amazes me is how little time it takes to unravel tense muscles.

Does not work hamstrings only the calf muscle. No weights come with the machine.

Bobby- I would not buy it for that. It may help indirectly, but no more than arm exercises would strengthen them normally. It isolates the bicep curl movement, and triceps pull down movement. -Doug

Not sure. It is pretty powerful and if you so some streches and squates while on it you certainly get more of a work out. I also bought it to reduce cellulite however I have not used it regularly enough to say that it works for this purpose. I like the machine and was sore after using it the first couple of times on fast setting I'm thin and fit build

It doesn't necessarily target your lower back, but it does stretch out your hamstrings effectively, which relieves lower back pain. I find it very helpful.

I would have to say yes. I bought mine for my lower back and sometimes I have nerve problems in my knees and buttock area so I invert for a few minuets and the pain goes away. I would think that this would help you as well.

This helps keep your leg straight so can feel it deeper especially in the higher hamstrings and glutes. The bands are ok, but I get a more hardcore stretch from this.

Have you been using the side motion as per the instructions?It should work, because you feel it stretching that area when you do it,I've seen improvement in only a week.Also go on you tube,this guy uses it as a full body work out.
