Can children use this or it is just for adults? My son has CP so his hamstrings are very tight and I would like to know if this could be helpful.

Obviously, it depends on the leg length of your son. I'm 5'8" {with short legs} and have the device set to its shortest position. I suggest you contact seller: http://idealstretch.com/contact/

It works for children too and you can adjust the strap depending on where a persons knee is. As a person with CP.. This is the best product I have found so far.

I think it would depend on how tall the child is....I'm 5.7 and my husband is 6.3....It "fits" both of us fine.

I would check with his MD or physical therapist first but I see no reason why, with monitoring, he could not use it.

Depends on some measurements. I'm 6' 2" and use it in the middle setting, but that's so I don't compromise the bends. Measured the "short" setting, and the 2 bends on each end are about 15" apart. So depending on how long your child's legs are, I'd measure up from the arch 15" to see where it will come to on the thigh. The long bend is 15" high and canted towards the user. The one critical measurement I see would be in the length of the foot. Adjusting for the slack in the calf strap, it appears to me that your child's foot should measure at least around 7" long to capture the ball of the foot well on to the short bend strap. Really great for the hamstrings going into the back of the knees. Depends on some measurements. I'm 6' 2" and use it in the middle setting, but that's so I don't compromise the bends.

It could be helpful, I guess it would depend if your son's legs are long enough at the smallest setting. I have two children (7 and 5) and they play with it all the time but I never looked to see if their legs fit on the smallest setting.

Its adjustable so it should be ok for children. It works very well on my hamstring so I sleep better at night.

Christian, Thank you for your question! Yes a youth bow can be used for adults. However, the determining factors would be draw length (how far can the consumer pull the bow back) and draw weight (that is the amount of tension on the string). Please let us know how we can further help you! Merry Christmas! Carrie Simpson customerservice@BigGameGear.com

I don't see why not. Body mechanics are basically the same. If the child's feet are raised it won't be as much of an angle as an adult but it certainly would be a better angle than the child having feet hanging free. I'd be willing to give it a shot.

Thank you for contacting Active Forever. Unfortunately we cannot make recommendations on this product. You would have to contact a doctor to see what tension would be needed for your son.

It is designed for a child; however I lay on it with my granddaughter. of course its not long enough for my body but is durable. I wouldn't recommend for adults only because of the length. hope this helps

Sherry,It will work for both kids and adults. We had a 250 pound man on the knee board with no problems. You'd just need a boat powerful enough to pull the person.

The adults like it in our family. The more you weigh the easier it is. I would recommend it for a 12yo boy as long as they are good at physical coordination tasks.

Oh no. I use it, my kids use it and their dad uses it. Under the istructions it advises you to only use it so much without the advice of a trainer bit that's it. Also I am 5'10 and 195 it is still solid for me. I even got a 2nd one for my mother in law. Maybe they had bad luck and got a defective one...

Hello, I have owned this item for over a year now, and yes we have allowed "adults" to use it, we just make sure it is one at a time!

I would not recommend it for an adult. My boys ages 5, 7, and 9 use them, and I think they'll be fine through maybe 6th/7th grade.

No, not just for children! :) My daughter uses it. She is 19, about 5'4" and about the same weight. She said the other one was way too long and she would "get tangled" in the straps.

I had the opposite problem. We needed a small cuff for an elderly parent. We bought the pediatric cuff. So I can't answer about the adult cuff. I will say the cuff seems to be working well. The nurse and therapists are using it with better luck than with the adult cuff.

I purchased the original stick, which allows you you bend it slightly over your shoulders, for my 14 year old. The stick is perfect for her. She is a Cross Country runner and needs it for her calves and hamstrings. With the little bit of bending motion, it allows her to roll it around the sides of her thighs too. It reaches the lower back very well also. Good luck.

I think it is better for kids. My 14 year old uses this one (has since he was 12). He gets serious neck pain (cramps) from large fluffy pillows that elevate his head too much. He is slim. The pillow has helped him 100% with his neck pain. My husband who is also slim uses a different pillow that has a wider neck support.It is not at all hot.
