When you began using this did it relieve aches in your legs and lower back?

No, it was actually too tall for me. I have short legs, and it raised my knees too high.

It relieved more pain than the hard footrests, or any other footrest for that matter.

Yes, it helps a lot. Use it with curved side down where you can "rock" it with your feet.

I don't think so- it sure has helped my back. If in question- take a chance-

I have found that it does. However it may depend on the type of muscle injury you may have. I use it a lot for my arthritis and fibromyalgia pain. Over all I would recommend it for almost all types of muscle pain,

Yes, it works fast for me. Within 15 to 30 minutes. I also like the Leg Cramp Ointment. I rub that on the backs of my knees/thighs and it helps as well.

I use it for lower back and pretty much anytime my back hurts and I am home with time to spare (bare back is best). A few minutes is all you really need but it feels best while you stay on it. I have noticed it works really well after I am achy from a workout and when blood is still flowing. Make sure you adjust your position slightly every 15-30 seconds, this moves the spikes to new positions on the skin and feels great! The relief will only last between 10-30 minutes after you stop though. I have never tested this but I believe if you use it often and regularly you will experience long term relief. This is based on depletion of Substance P (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substance_P).

No it's only for your back bottom and feet. To be honest I'm rather disappointed with it after owning it a while. It's simply started to deteriorate and I just use it moderately.

Yes, it does. I don't get 'cramps', but my thighs ache badly. So before I go to bed I take several of the tabs. I'm a firm believer in quinine to help relieve leg ache.

Did it help your back? I am buying it for the same reason to cover my firm tempur mattress which gives me soooooo much back ache

I wouldn't use it at this time. You should ask your doctor if you can use it and how long you need to wait. I would say anyone with serious back issues should consult a doctor before using. Anyone without serious back issues I don't see any problems using it.

The balm, I use 'only' on my feet. I felt an increase in circulation, warm feet when in 'bed'.About the lotion, it is difficult to say if there was 'any' positive change, when it comes to stiffness.

I use it on all my muscles that are sore. I walk and have found it to help when I have leg issues.

I love the machine after having it for almost 5 months. I use it daily and it helps with lymphatic drainage. I have lipedema, a fat disorder more intense than cellulite and it helps drain the excess fluid. Muscles are toned and back pain has virtually disappeared.

Yes it does. Press the "Lower Back" button. Then, you might have to adjust your position a bit so that it hits the lowest part of your back and rubs it nicely, but all you have to do is push yourself back a bit and then lean forward a bit to get a really nice massage on your lower back.

It helped right away. I have reoccurring issues with sciatica down my legs. Usually a few visits to a chiropractor and exercises gets it back but this helped right away. After only five minutes of a few up and downs it took the majority of the pain away. It didn't heal it totally, I still needed to do stretches and stuff but it took the sharp pains away. I am 42, 6' and 185 lbs and a triathlete so I am in shape but just have back problems from prior work time to time and this allowed me to do something right away. I recommend it.

I don't have that problem so I couldn't tell you on that. But it does give me relief to my lower back. You can always try one at stores that have them displayed or a friend that has one. But I would check with your Dr before you do it to be sure it is ok with your back problem

It does work for me. I don't know what you need it to do, but it does relax me and help me sleep, and it does relax sore muscles. It tells you on the bottle how much to use for effectiveness.

Yes, it definitely helps to relieve body aches. Can't beat the price either as same one costs you 3 times as much if you are getting it from the sporting goods store.
