The stick can be used to massage any part of your body, and a set of pictures comes with it to illustrate this. The longer sticks are probably better for massaging back muscles etc.

nobody that I know of but you have to grasp both ends of the stick and if your tall its not that easy to reach. I have used the 24 inch one and I just prefer that one. The 20 inch just wasn't the same. I use it on my back also and if your doing it yourself the 24 inch one is just easier. Depends what your using it on

We sent the pogo stick back because my daughter was too big for the pogo stick. She weighed about 90 lbs and it was much shorter than we thought. I think the weight limit was 50lbs or so. Hope this helps!!!

My 7 year old uses ours, she's a big girl for her age. But I don't think she'll get very many years of use out of it. Check out the measurements. I think somewhere it says how many inches tall everything is. It's smaller than I expected.

The stick is not has long has I wished for. It is their standard size aproximately 6 inches. But worth the buy and presentation.

I thought the same and I even bought a board for my older son! And when it arrived I was extremely happy he sits on the footrest,because the twins feet are still too short to reach there. We never use the board,my four years old sits happily in the front! :) (not for jogging,just when walking around:) Safety first! )

They are over 6' tall. He'll barely have the arms strength to even start using it now. You'll be good for a while.

The rubber tips on the legs are exactly 19" from tip to tip. The legs are actually less than 19" wide but the rubber feet flair out to make it 19".

We bought ours for a child but a person of that size woudl be able to use it. My hopes are my daughter will keep hers for a long time.

No exact idea. it feels standard, I am 6'1 and it played fine for a less expensive stick when I tried it. No worries about being too short.

It's VERY difficult to use because it has a round ball in the center (bottom side of the board), instead of two arches. I would get something else because I can't use mine and I'm only 140 lbs.

Mary, I am 5 feet 3 1/2 tall and my husband is 6 feet 1 1/2 inches tall. We have both used it. When we use it, we angle the stick so we are relaxed when sitting. Your two legs and the stick make a 3-legged chair. That is the premise. The seat is like an bike seat so it is not all that comfortable, however, when you are on your feet on pavement all day, say at Disneyland, you will be very glad you have it to give your legs, ankles, feet and back a rest!. We are glad we both purchased one.

I am 5'10". I use the stick at its fullest extension. It has 4 settings. If you put it on the shortest setting, it should work for you.

Some specs I found on another site indicated this is rated to 250 lbs. However, I would not recommend anyone "sizeable" use this, it is definitely intended for smaller/lighter/shorter people. I Definitely wouldn't recommend it for anyone over 200 lbs or over 5 ft 2 or 5 ft 3 at most because the motor isn't sufficient for higher weights and the stride/tread is much too short for long legs.

We bought this pogo stick when our oldest was about 12 and youngest about 9. The youngest is a small child and doesn't weigh much so he had a harder time with it at first, the older one could use it just fine. My younger one is almost 12 now and can jump on it really well now. I think the weight of the person has a lot to do with it, seems like about 60ish pounds is the magic number to make it "easy," though it is possible to use with less effectiveness at a lower weight. Breaking in the springs doesn't hurt either though. I'd say just give it some time.

I apologize, I described the diameter for the wooden stick. The ball is at least the size of a hand ball. It is about maybe 3-4 inches.

There's not much room for legs. Even on the ends kids can't scoot in very far.

You want the stick to be about shoulder high so that it will be comfortable for you to hold the stick either over the top or around the top of the stick comfortably....you could also just put your height and age in your order as a note to the folks who make these. Good luck!!
