It seems as though these rope exercises would put a pretty good hurting on lower backs...is that so?

Not if you have the correct stance, which is standing in a squat position with your knees bent and your weight back on your heels (like you're sitting in a chair).

Not if you are in the correct posture...wide stance squat without leaning over with upper body....keep body in good technique and lower back will be unaffected.

All depends on the certain movements being done. You might feel it when trying to keep posture and form correct. Other than that if you had previous issues with lower back then you might feel more than others. I have reccommended for certain people to maybe use ropes while sitting on a chair. Although it might seem to some as defeating the purpose, you are still getting the benefits without any type of additonal strain. Older people, knee problems, even back issues chair can be used. Adjustments need to be made for how you are postioned and seated to get the most from it. Hope this helps.... If not just very long winded...LOL LOL LOL All depends on the certain movements being done. You might feel it when trying to keep posture and form correct.

I think it may work great for the lower back & the massager also has a speed adjustment. I hope that helps :) . I use it for my shoulder & for my legs, due to poor circulation & its doing a job so far

I feel like it worked for me pulling my shoulders back and strengthening my postures muscles. The first day or so my muscles were sore, after that I got used to wearing it the whole day. Give a try, if it doesn't work for you then just return it. Just one note, is if you like sitting where you are leaning against the backrest, wearing this will not work and it would be worse than not wearing it at all because the sandbag in the back will pin all the pressure in one area in your back. It's meant for you to wear sitting straight up, without lying against any backrest.

I haven't really experienced lower back pain so I cannot answer, but for someone suffering from hemorrhoids it truly helps when sitting.

No. This is a bit "painful" to use as you use it to roll with pressure along your muscles after a workout to release the tightness.

This is a back stretching device,,,the first time i used it, It was a little painful, but after three or four days it got better. It took years to mess up our backs,,it takes time to get them correct. All spines are different. :-) good luck.

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.

Probably. If you are being towed or using any kind of rope I'd recommend. If you are sail surfing, not sure. Have fun!

I don't feel it would be. It's primarily for stretching your spinal & vertebrae for those persons who have chronic back pain. You are to trying to realign the spine with the stretching & strengthening. The only exercises I've tried when I'm vertical is twisting slightly to the right or left to stretch my side muscles, but I don't try to pull up on it.

It does hurt somewhat. It hurts my hip bones more than my back. It's not padded. It is wrapped in colored tape pieces similar to ribbon. The weight (2lbs.) offers a bit of a workout but it can be a little painful. Overall, I like it.

YouTube Fitness ball lower back pain exercises. There will be plenty on there and good luck.

I would say no. The heat in it is wonderfully subtle. I suppose you could make it hot enough to act like a pad for back pain, but the entire pad, or your side of it anyway, would all be just as hot.

I haven't noticed any effect on my back. But I am only doing between 30 minutes to an hour sessions. note - I've been using the bike for ~2 months now.

The ball is designed for lower back stretches. Inside the packaging will be picture and written exercises that you can do. I have found the exercises very effective at easing lower back discomfort and pain. I saw this on Dr. Oz last year.

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.

You should consider substituting another pulling back exercise, such as the (bent over row). If you do that, it shouldn't make a very noticeable difference.

Let me answer this question one more time. Yes if you fall on your back on the floor and just put your calves in the machine, it will massage them.... But really this machine is designed to massage the bottom of the feet mainly. So if the advertising says "calves" it is theoretically correct but it does not work well...
