How do you keep in place, other than laying still flat on your back?

That's it! I fan them whilst laying flat, and as the moisture dissipates - I find I CAN sit up slightly & read or watch tellie. But part of the magic is the resting!

It doesn't really work well if you're on your side. It's kind of heavy and it would need to be very tight to keep it in place. I always try propping it up against my face with a pillow but I end up on my back eventually.

Get a chaise lounge. This is a reclining chair, much like a recliner in the average home that also does not lay out flat.

I'm very careful when I sit in my swing. i try not to move too much but to just enjoy "hanging" there. I don't feel very stable, so it is not just you.

You need to adjust the position of where the weight hangs. It should be hanging down from your back to around your lower back area. If set up properly, you will unconsciously keep you back straight to have the weight hang rather than press up against your back if you were to slouch. At least that's the way how its worked for me. P.S. You shouldn't sit against a back rest if you are wearing the Body Rite, because the weight will press against the back rest and cause more pain than good. Only use when sitting on a backless stool, standing or walking.

The short answer is no. If you could stay on you back all night and not remove it in your sleep, you might be able to do it. Lying on your side would likely disturb the alignment/fit and you would lose protection.

how did you get it to lean back? Mind is what you want it doesn't lean back no matter what I try

I have, but it's kind of heavy for me. I'll usually lay in bed, position it on my lower back and press against the bed. It works much better when you have help.

The back seems fairly supportive. I lean back on it...but not with all my body weight. I sit normally and am comfortable. As for the stability of the chair...the hooks are best. But... I have used it without the hooks to try it out. The bottom is rubberized so it stays fairly stationary. If you are a wiggle worm you might end up on the floor. If you sit normally you should be comfortable and stay put!

What did you buy if for, Sciatic? I would recommend laying on it for a few minutes 3-5x/day, then back off as it starts helping. If it's for your sciatic, lay on it normally with the wide part just touching your bum, then after a minute wiggle up so that your hips are just on the arch. Rest another minute. Go back down to normal stretch another minute. Really work at relaxing and allowing the weight of your body to settle and do the stretching for you. Let me know how it works but 15 mins at one time is too long.

I secure it around a back pad and it doubles the back padding while staying in place on the bottom. Don't expect cushy comfort for all day. When I go out for 4 hours, I am comfortable. Longer than that and I just don't think my body is built to stay in one position for that long.

Get some velcro and strap it around the head rest or stick it to the fuzzy stuff on your back panel. That'll keep it upright for sure, small modification for less hassel ;-)

The best way to protect your spine is to roll off the back arch to one side or the other. NEVER sit back up straight.

Turn sideways and lay on your hips. Hold a weight in your hand to increase the intensity.

No...not unless you have an extremely flexible back! This chair will not lay completely flat.

Try a different angle. I keep my head tilted, but not at a 90 degree angle--that's too much. Also, don't lean back too much. Just lean forward over the sink a little, but with your head up. You should be upright enough to see yourself in the mirror. It takes getting used to, but eventually you will find the right position. If you're really stuffed up, some of it does go down your throat, though.

Actually, laying on a hammock at a diagonal is the correct way to do it. This ensures you are comfortable and flat, instead of squeezed into a curve and swallowed up by the sides of the hammock.
