Product Review: Back2Life Machine. Photos Of Actual Use, and Demonstration Video

I have a 23yr. old daughter who has had chronic lower back pain for quite a while. She has always been an extremely active young person. She was a Cheer Leader in Middle School, and in High School. She took Gymnastics classes. She studied Dance. She has ridden horses all her life. She is much too young to be bothered by lower back pain.

She got to the point that in order to work her full time job, she had to take pain pills. This was not by choice. She found she had to take stronger and stronger pills just to function. She saw her Physician, and after undergoing extensive x-Rays, he could find no reason for her back to hurt. He told her the vertebrae was fine. She wasn't convinced, so she saw another doctor who told her basically the same thing. At least she was relieved that the doctors didn't want to operate on her back.

A friend recommended a Chiropractor, and my Daughter went to him for an evaluation. After x-Rays, he told her the vertebrae were all out of alignment. He began doing "adjustments". After several of these adjustments, her condition did improve, but she continued to have some lower back pain.

I saw an advertisement one day for the Back2Life Machine. The machine uses what they call "Continuous Passive Motion". It has a gentle back and forth/ side to side motion on each leg. The user lays down flat on the floor, and puts both legs up on the machine. It is adjustable for the height of the user.

I bought the foam pillow for her to use so her head would be more comfortable while laying flat on the floor.

The machine was very easy to assemble. My daughter was very reluctant to even try the Back2Life Machine for the first time. She finally got down flat on the floor and put her legs up on the machine. After about five or six minutes, she grinned and said, "This is pretty great, I think I like it!"

The company recommends the user go on the machine twice a day for 12 minutes each time, preferably once in the morning and before bedtime. My Daughter says the machine is so relaxing, she looks forward to using it. She usually nods off to sleep. There is a timer on the machine so you don't have to worry about overdoing it.

My daughter has been using the Back2Life Machine now for about 3 months. She says that it may take longer than the few weeks the company says it will take to feel any lasting results from using the Back2Life machine. In her opinion, it is well worth the investment. She believes it has relieved her chronic lower back pain significantly. She continues to see her Chiropractor once a week.

She wil continue to use the Back2Life Machine twice a day. She enjoys the relaxation she feels after using the machine. She does feel that it is worth the time and effort to obtain the relief she is getting.
