can you lay on top of it for your back relief

My mother and I both have one. We use them for back pain all the time. I would recommend heat and ice rotation every 20 mins. I major back issue and that seems to help me the best. You can make the ice packs that don't freeze solid with 2/3 cup of water to 1/3 cup of rubbing alcohol in two zip lock bags one in side the other. Good Luck

totally not...it is actually very comfortable as you can bend back...like a ricking chair kind of way...

I don't see a reason why you could not do that. I haven't tried it though. It was so soft when sitting on it that it simply flattened out and wasn't useful to me at all. Laying with it under hips may be more helpful

My husband says yes but it would hurt a lot. Laying on it hurts, too, but he is so much better, laying on it 1/2 hour a day is totally worth it for him. The instructions say yes on feet, too, either standing on it or sitting with your feet on it. If you have diabetes or any other disease, you might want to ask your doctor about acupressure first.

It is not the most comfortable chairs if you want to lie on your stomach. You will need to put a pillow on your stomach area because that is where it curves down.

It works well while laying down. You might want to have a pad underneath you just in case.

I read the instructions and the only thing it said was that you should not lay on it if you were unconscious or sleeping. I've laid back in my chair with mine behind me on my lower back and I do fine, so as long as you're not sleeping, I guess it's okay to lay on it.

You will take spine-worx and place it on the ground. Sit in front of the end with the higher hump and have the spine-worx at your lower back. Slowly lower your back onto the device, making sure your back is centered and your spine is in between the two sides. Your back may crack when you do this. Lay back and relax your body. You may want to put a pillow under your head. Start by laying for a few minutes and gradually move up in time depending on how it feels. When you are done roll to the side and lay with your chest on the ground for a minute or two then move to one knee for another minute and finally get up.

I think so, but don't know that for sure. Have not used it that way. Do you mean lay it down, then a person lay on their back on top of it? or the other way: a person on their stomach ? I think it is best used sitting in a chair.

Absolutely not! I had to send it back because it was way too painful for my back. It has the Shiatsu roller balls that rotate preventing you from laying down. You would be better off with a regular massage mat for a chair, which you would be able to lay on.

yes, you can use it lying down or sitting. just make sure it sits on a flat surface.

Actually a very good question... the top is flat. What you see depicted is the inside lumbar support. So when you lie on it, you get extra support in your lumbar area. I was sceptical too, but it really works! Agree with Dave, Very Comfortable.

Yes, you could, but it is hard to keep your balance on this hammock... I had a stand and it was hard to lay in. It is pretty, but I gave mine away!

Manufacturer states you are not to sit or lay on it. But my doctor said it was fine for me to lay on it as long as I don't program temperature too high and DONT FALL ASLEEP. The pad needs to CONFORM to your body. I find laying on my foam mattress topper is perfect for my back. Manufacturer wants you to lay it on TOP of your body. My doctor told me they have to say that or people, if they fell asleep could get burned if the digital control malfunctioned for instance. I've been using this pad regularly and it produces very good moisture! I'm happy with this pad. I prefer the control to Thermophore. I own both. I prefer BodyMed controller.

I haven't tried it lying down. As Roxy answered, your bottom wouldn't be aligned with the rest of your back. There isn't much "give" to it, so that could be uncomfortable. It might help you with sitting, though. It takes some getting used to. Best wishes for complete recovery.

No. The cushion is very firm and will not compress enough to make this position comfortable.

Yes, the padded cover over the top will allow you to position it under the bod comfortably. If you intend to lie on it more than 30 min. I would place a thin blanket between you and the heating pad. Remember, no auto shutoff so keep the setting low if you think you could fall asleep!
