 Great Back 2 Life machine July 22, 2010
Carl W
I bought a new Back 2 Life massager and my back hurt too much to stand to assemble it. I had to sit down to do the assembly and when I was done I laid on the floor and did two 12 minute sessions. My wife had to help me off the floor and I had no back pain. I have had back pain for 55 years, been in the hospital 6 times and had many severe bouts with a lot of pain and have had to use many pain reliever pills. Since it is difficult for me to get up from the floor (must be a greater magnetism with older age) I bought a ½"x2'x4' sheet of plywood, cut it down slightly to fit in a storage area, sanded and varnished the board, put stops for the Back 2 Life machine so it won't fall off, glued a ¼" foam pad on the board, put some straps with knots and hooked on the corners of the board so I can pull myself to the machine and now do it on my bed. This has been working great. It is easy for me to lay on the board, do my 12 minute sets and get off the bed without any problem. I know it is not the cure for back pain but for me it really does help. I don't use the machine every day but when I do it is much easier doing it on my bed saving me the pain of getting up off the floor. I hope this might help others who are having a difficult time of getting up off the floor and would like to continue using this machine. One more suggestion: use a slight amount of Vaseline or something to lubricate the plastic areas to aid in disassembly if you ever have to do it later.
 TERRIBLE! July 21, 2010

This product is awful! I wasted $200 in an attempt to help my boyfriend's back problems. The only thing this product might do is lull someone to sleep, but it definitely does nothing for your back. When the product is on, it sounds like the gears are buckeling whenever you put your legs on it. I weigh less than 140 lbs and it still does it when I put my legs on the machine! Don't let the commercials fool you. It sounded too good to be true, so I went on several websites to check reviews on this thing and all I saw were bad ratings from people who had never even tried it before, however I did see some good ratings from people who did try it, so I decided to give it a shot--BIG MISTAKE! Save your money and buy a nice eurotop bed with memory foam. This thing isn't even worth a penny. I threw mine out when I moved to my new apartment, and I had only had it for a couple months! Save your money people! Don't be fooled like I was!
Great back pain reliever July 16, 2010
Dennis J.
The Back2Life Massager has given me the greatest help for my chronic back pain due to 2 surgeries and resulting scar tissue, etc. on my L5 vertebrae in the 90's. I have done it all...physical therapy, traction, pain pills and chiropractic treatment. I was very discouraged if anything could really help. I accidentally saw the Back2Life Massager in an infomercial only 4 weeks ago. I googled it and ordered also the back and neck stretchers that were also suggested. Using the back and neck stretchers with the Back2Life immediately gave me great relief and it has only gotten better as the days pass. I also had vascular vein surgery only a week ago. After 4 days of recovery I decided to give the Massager a go once again. I believe it has greatly helped in my recovery.

I was horrified when I started to develop severe lower back pain that several of my family members and friends had described; where they had extensive back surgery and therapy.(with limited success). After about 8 weeks of this pain I was convinced that I needed to see a doctor. That night I saw the "Back to Life" machine advertisement. Out of shear desperation, I called and told the order taker that I knew that this was a gimmick but I was going to try it anyway. Boy was I ever thankful I did! This thing really worked and after 10 days my back pain was totally gone! I have worked this machine into my regular exercise routine, and find it very easy to use; and quite relaxing. I can see from other testimonials that it has not produced the same results for everyone; and that each situation is probably different. Apparently I was a perfect candidate for this thing and have highly recommended it to everyone that I hear complaining about their back pain. Don't waste your money on the pills the Back to Life people will try to sell you. They are very expensive, hard to get off your credit card, and in my opinion not necessary. The machine is the ticket; not the pills.

I purchased the Back2Life April 23, 2010. I've had it for 3 agonizing weeks and I am sending it back. When I first got it, I noticed it didn't do much but I did feel some movement throughout my back and with my condition, I have degenerative disc disease with a dessicated disc and a chronic sprain at T7/T8 and I have a bulging disc with spinal stenosis at L4/L5, I thought the light movement would be beneficial because I cannot move much without excrutiating pain. I thought this would help ease me back into having some range of motion and I would feel better. When you get to this point, you will try anything! It did not help, in fact, it made my lower back much worse. I used it twice a day and followed all the instructions to the T. I was so naive at first I didn't realize it was the machine making me worse, some days are just worse than others and the machine didn't do much so I didn't attribute it at first. I stopped using it mainly because I was hurting too bad to do so and my lower back started feeling better. So this was a huge waste of money and energy for me. I just disassembled it to send it back and really hurt my back disassembling it (the assembly was easy.) I found disassembly instructions in the owner's manual after I hurt myself and got it taken apart. If you have to disassemble this machine, please see your owner's manual. This has nothing to do with the machine itself, probably just my bad luck, but when I took the leg off the bottom it didn't slide off and so I had to give it a little push up and it flew off and hit me in the face and I was bleeding. I finally got it back in the box to go back and I will be so glad to be done with it! I hope I can help people with conditions similar to mine to save their time and energy (and backs) with this review.
