Has anyone here had experience of the Backlife lower spine musclegroup exerciser?
www.backlife.com I'm wondering whether having been turned down for ADR, I might benefit from exercising with one of these machines. I think my biggest fear is a sudden move which might split open a disc which then might allow a fragment to press on a nerve giving me added problems. An analogy- if you had a car with shock adsorbers which were known to be shot, would you take advice that you should drive everyday over cobbled streets? Is this a fair analogy or might exercising the muscles around the spine with this device actually help to prevent what I fear?

On Dec 8,07, I asked this exact same question, before getting adr. The response I got was this was probably a scam. I never tried it. I didn't have expendable income to be the first to try it.
