As I see, it works on the upper body. Can it be used for to stretch the lower back muscles also? Thanks

I can feel the stretch in my lower back when I do squats. I'm not any kind of trainer. Perhaps you should see one!

Yes it can, I actually bought a book that uses the lifeline jungle gym for not only the work outs but the stretches too. It is very effective with helping me to get deeper into the lower body and back.

Note I am not a personal trainer, but here is my experience. I keep my body straight at all times when using this. I find especially for pull exercises it does work the lower back. Really it gives a great all-over core workout. However, for lower back bodyweight training i find nothing comes close to back extensions.

It works on massaging all muscles including chest. It has a weight reduction selection but have no idea if it works.

Good morning Shaminy. I used the roller on my face and on stretch marks on my arms. I am unsure if it will work on the back or chest as I have not tested those areas. I would lean to say it is ok to try on those areas as it is sensitive enough to use on the face. I hope this helps you out.

If you are already using a "wired" tens unit on your lower neck and upper back, you'd probably be ok, even though it doesn't say you can use it for your neck. I don't recall it actually being called a tens unit, but it's the same principle. It is not as powerful as one your doctor would get you from a medical supply company.

From what I remember reading it's ok to use on the upper back . Do not use it on your chest or head. Hope this helps. Also, if you are going to use this frequently, the batteries need changing often.

i used it for the back although it doesn't target specific points on the back, it does cover a large area and help with myofascial muscle release. Actually, it is designed so that it is better at hitting as much of the "knots" in the muscles--and I found it works really well! If you want to target trigger points that are very specific , then you may want the "massage ball" Hope that helps

I think it is a really great unit. I cannot really answer your Question completely, but I do know it does help the Chest area, as well as the upper back. I can feel and see the results. I believe it will help!

Hi. Yes you can reach your upper back with this device because it has a long handle. It is electric with a long cord. I hope this information will help you. Happy New Year!

It absolutely would! It works for any kind of stretches! It is very durable and sturdy and will take a lot of pressure against it and not come apart. It has loops at different distances to accommodate whatever length you might need to do different kinds of stretches in different positions. You can use it behind your back to pull up a leg or in other position you can think up! It is a wonderful tool. It is better than yoga straps because of the loops at different lengths. I recommend it!

It is for the neck only. Which might relieve some pain down the spine depending on your physical issues, but it will only stretch the neck.

It is good exercise to really stretch your spine. Results in better flexibility & easy to use.

I had shoulder surgery so I used it around my shoulder, including two pads on my upper back. Their info sheet includes the back. I think there are issues using it around your spine, especially in the neck area. It is a real "Tens" unit so anywhere they can be used this one should work as well.

I have never used this item for lower body. I use it to exercise an arm that requires motion in the joints to keep it from locking up. I love it because it is a well-made, sturdy piece of equipment and it folds for convenient storage.

It doesn't necessarily target your lower back, but it does stretch out your hamstrings effectively, which relieves lower back pain. I find it very helpful.

yes it works well on lower neck but you have to angle across your back and use the rope
