Will this help with my lower back stiffness?

it's really hard to say....my best recommendation would be to try to use one in a store or something. this is one of those things that you gotta try it to see if it works for you. i can't really say it's helping me too much, but my issue might be different than yours...also, you can set it not to go fully upside down, so you can do a low angle inversion if that works better for you...bottom line, make sure this is the product for you before you spend $300 - $400 on it...hope this helped !!

I have had great success with just that issue. I love this thing for that exact reason.

just my experience is yes. I am 67 years old and i can get up with my back lower back hurting and i turn upside down and do 30 crunches and it makes it ok for day. Now i do it daily to strenfgten core muscles witch is essential for back health. My ups guy has been using for 10 years, his back Dr told him it was going to be surgery but try one first.

Yes it will help. Another thing that will help is a memory foam topper for your bed if you do not already have one. Any movement, no matter how gentle, will help too. Stand in place and do your version of the hula, forexample. Warm baths (15 minutes each) with a cup of epsom salts and 1/2 of baking soda mixed in will also help. Anything that stimulates the blood flow to you lower back is a big help. I have a machine, called "Back To Life" that I use and it's amazing how good my back feels after using it. Hope I've helped.

Well, for me the inversion machine is the only thing that works..I don't like to take pain meds, so I use the machine does work for me. If you want to invert for longer periods, I kinda bend my neck upwards do the blood doesn't rush to your head, it works for me, I hope it works for you too, good luck, I'm sure you won't regret it,

Every individual has its own unique pain stiffness in our body. It's how we live our self some people tend to do more than the other. Me I ride my bike extensive. Alway gets some muscle pain specially in my back right now my shoulder and elbow is sore you can say its from riding my bike specially now it's cold I was out its in the lower 40's with guts wind of 20 to 40. To make short this equipment helps. You still need to stretched when ever you do something extensively. Good luck.

I think it would help although it isn't ultra firm. I use it on my upholstered office chair for more support and it works really well.

If the pain is muscular, it might help. It's eased some of the stress in my back when I sit for long periods. Depends on the type and reason for pain, and posture when sitting. I also use it as a back support (behind my lower back) when I'm sitting on the couch watching TV or reading. It's great for that in my case.

I use it for my lower back sparingly. I'm around 200 lbs and can't fully lean on it without the motors stopping or slowing . But I like really deep tissue massages . It will work , just don't push back super hard . Power supply: comes with home plug , and a car plug.

It can, depending upon what is causing the neck and shoulder pain. Mostly, it helps gently re-align vertebrae, and safely stretch back muscles. You must be consistent with its use. And use it frequently, for short periods of time, rather than spend a half hour once a day on it. I would ask your physician's opinion on it first. It is spendy and difficult to return if it doesn't work.

The Ab doer machine does lean back to work on your lower back muscles. I use mine for waist and tummy.

Yes probably at a slower speed. I use it on my shoulders and neck and feel it helps work out tension

Yes, this did soften my hard tempurpedic bed. But not enough to help my very many back problems.

HelloThis cushion is designed to position lower back including tail bone in place and this helps sciatica ( that's back pain from pinching of a nerve between vertebra that radiate to hip,groin and leg sometimes )I got this cushion for my right hip pain and seems to be helping me so far but I just start using it so not too sure if the cushion will keep its shape and continue to help me.So I would say it may help but if you have Body Bath and Beyond or other stores that carry it, try it first to be sure.

Since the seat is wider than most it should provide more support. Not sure if this extra support helps a back problem. however.I would check with your doctor.

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 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 think you will find that the Intelliskin will work beautifully for gently correcting poor posture. The support it provides even when a person has pain and stiffness is excellent, so I think you will be very pleased with the results for you.

I have found this mat gets rid of the tight back and pain I acquire from typing at my computer all day, as well as help me fall asleep (I'm an insomniac). So yes I do highly recommend it for a tight back.

Hi Yousef - it's helpful for lower back pain. I used to have pain from driving. My physical therapist showed me I was driving way too far away from the steering wheel. Your hands should be at the 4:00 and 8:00 o'clock positions, believe it or not. A few sessions with a physical therapist and a personal trainer to strengthen muscles which will get your posture where it should be would work way better than this TENS unit. That's my advice.
