Is it easy to do your own back with this thing? Is the handle long enough so that you can reach your entire back yourself? Without needing to be a contortionist, that is :-)

You can almost get the entire back but the handle should be just a little longer then it would work perfectly on the back, they should make this thing 6 inches longer and it would be perfect.

I have this and the Mangroomer for the back. I'm all set with both. However, for nose I use the Panasonic and it sucks. Any suggestions?

Honestly, it isn't made to do that so if you try to use it like normal but without support, you're probably going to fall backwards. However, you could use it more like a pillow and lay it on the backside and laying back on the handle side as a pillow, it can work pretty well.

This is a great massager for the price. It is easy to use on yourself, especially to ease pain in the deltoid muscles of the upper arm. To use on the back or upper traps of the shoulder, it is best to have someone else use it on you. The handle is short so that makes it difficult to use on your own back. I love this massager and especially find it effective working on my own arms, feet, and legs.

There wasn't really a trick . i just read the directions. However I must warn you to be careful operating when fully extended. Very hard to manage fully extended without straining the shoulder. I had the harness to relieve some of the tension, what a piece of crap.

I am 5'8" and have no problem bending over into the handle--and the stroller is really easy to handle. I have had no trouble kicking the stroller but I think that is controlled by how far you push the stroller in front of you--controlled by your arms. I don't think you would have to adjust your stride. Also my dog is an 80 lb tripod so the stroller I have is the large one.I don't know if that makes a difference or not--but the stroller is great

yes the twist will loosen up your back. if u hold a broom handle and twist side to side with it. and raise handle slowly upwards over your head.

It would be perfect for you, you might decrease the pull strength until you get used to it then crank it up. But even now as an adult I still have fun with it.

I have gotten good at rotating up and out at the edges and back using larger and larger lengths as I work up. You will risk making a mistake... This hair cutter is much easier to get a decent haircut by myself than any other.

It can be. It all depends on what you do with the machine. When you let go of the handles, you can swing your arms as if you are walking or jogging. Your legs can be straight or slightly bent. I have a variety of different exercizes that I do. I just keep moving; and before I know it, I've gone 30 minutes plus.

in my opinion: really easy. there is nothing you can't figure out on your own. instructions are clear enough. you need a pliers and couple screwdrivers. the hardest part is lifting the thing out of the box. they say 40 minutes -- i went slow and took longer. mainly i didn't want to injure my back. most anyone can assemble in an hour or so.

That's the thing, no! If you're tall like me, it's a little annoying. The handle does sit up hi enough for an averaged height person but if you're close to 6' ft then it's difficult to roll.

I don't think you will have a problem. The handle end is large enough you could rest it against your hand. It may be a little difficult depending on the amount of pain you have, but I think you could adjust the way you hold on to it to make it work.

Yes, I can fold mine back easily to hold in one hand. Folded back is how I use it 95% of the time. It's pretty comfortable texture for your hand too, not slippery, or hot, or weird.

It does not have long arm handles for upper body movement, this is lower-body only. It is very light, I am 55 years old and easily move it. It will collapse together wen you remove a pin; then you can set it flat against a wall in a closet. It has a very small footprint, does not take up much room.

by all means yes! This was one of the best purchases I ever made on Amazon. you will find that it makes moving large objects much easier on your back, even up stairways.

The handle is 1-1. Good point is less gearing to have issues. Down point is can't rest your arm. But it really only takes a few minutes anyway.

Its not that bad if you use the cocking rope and shorten it I bought a crank at the same time because I had back surgery few years ago and haven't had to use it yet but the crack is a good option also then you can do it no matter how strong you are
