I believe this is the first product review I have ever written, but I felt compelled to. I am 61 years old, 6'2" and 230 lbs. I have suffered from chronic back pain for years. I do my own yard work, I sail frequently, basically I'm quite active. For the past few years I knew that after an active day, I was going to be on the heating pad that night. NO MORE! Santa Claus brought us one of these for Christmas. I started out on the least incline for a few weeks, now I am at the second notch . I have not thought about my back for weeks now. I hang myself 2 times per day now for only about 2 minutes. I feel like a totally different person. I highly recommend!
