Has anyone sat backwards to heat the front of their body during the session?

I don't know of anyone specifically doing that, but I do know that if you take the chair out, you can sit on the bottom and turn your body any direction you want. I do not know how you could do it with the chair inside and your head above the unit. The unit is clearly designed for one direction in the normal mode. The unit is also designed to heat the body entirely through convection type heating which causes the body to perspire. To focus on one side of the body over the other, I can not see an advantage.

Yes, you can just use the heat or the massage feature by itself, or you can use the two together. I actually liked the cushion. I found it very comfortable but I returned it because the massage feature was too loud.

I feel like it worked for me pulling my shoulders back and strengthening my postures muscles. The first day or so my muscles were sore, after that I got used to wearing it the whole day. Give a try, if it doesn't work for you then just return it. Just one note, is if you like sitting where you are leaning against the backrest, wearing this will not work and it would be worse than not wearing it at all because the sandbag in the back will pin all the pressure in one area in your back. It's meant for you to wear sitting straight up, without lying against any backrest.

Sure can, just check your skin once in awhile to make sure you're not getting too much heat. I'd also suggest checking out Treat Your Own Spinal Stenosis to get your multifidus muscles in shape which also helps get rid of back pain.

If it is just how to use it, I sit with the back of the chair against the door and bend my elbows in front of me. I then raise each arm not over extending the uppward motion. Start slow. Do not re-injur your shoulder. I used heat on my shoulder before and after. Your physical therapist should be able to give you advise for your needs if this foes not help. Always check with your Dr before doing anything new.

Yes, with your legs or your arms. It is easily used for both. And you can go forward or reverse, you can sit in any chair but not with the feet up in a recliner. You can adjust the tension you want to use, and go forward or reverse.

Not exactly. You can easily lean back on the back rest cushion with your legs stretched out in the middle though. You can definitely use it for sunbathing, just not in fully horizontal position....unless you are really short. ;)

Yes. You can turn on the heat in either the lumbar or seat region or both without turning on the vibration. You can also use the vibration at the select intensity you wish with or without heat and where you want it. Both my husband and I use this and we've used it a lot in the past year. Still works great!

I haven't done so. I have laid it out on a neck pillow and laid my neck on it. I fold it only to put in drawer. You can try it, but I suggest you don't use extreme heat. I love my moist heating pad. Good Luck.

It was too hot for me. It's not noticeable when you first lay down, but by the morning I started waking up repeatedly from the warmth. I tried to move around but any spot I moved too got too warm after 10 mins.

Yes I have no problem sitting forward but when I recline it makes a loud bang. I strongly recommend that before you buy a chair that you sit in it. I would never again buy a chair on line. Hope the is of some help.

I've only used this with the cold therapy. For heat, I use Beyond Bodyheat self-stick *pads* (going against the directions by attaching it directly to the skin).

No, it does not. However, you can opt for warming up the sitting area. I don't use it, but the unit has that feature.

Not at all! I did find that I needed to run WARM water over it before I sat on it thought - otherwise really COLD!

I have not. I sit on one side more than the other so that might be the reason mine is that way but it is not a glaring difference.

No, you sit facing forward to do regular pull downs and backward (toward machine) to do behind-your-back pull downs. The position of the bar is what you would expect in a gym.

I have one and my husband and I love this!! I don't feel that it really retains body heat I have one and still use a heating blanket at night. I would definitely recommend this
