Reply #6: Yes, based on my personal experience, it is a recommendation.

I have L4-L5 issues, sciatica, one leg shorter than the other, and constant pain, tingling and numbness.

For me, the mahcine helps with relaxtion, blood flow and energy. It's not an unpleasant sensation, and when the session is over you do feel quite tingly all over.

I end the session with stretching before I stand up and I wait until almost all the whole-body-tingling's gone. Since my lower back is so bad I can't lie on my back at all without my legs going (and staying) numb, I couple it with the Abdomenizer I bought for doing crunches, because it is a nice piece of molded plastic that supports my lower back.

Oh, and my boyfriend read me the name on my machine-- it is the OxyFlow which was evidently only sold by HSN Networks. It came with a video I don't believe I've ever even watched, but probably still have somewhere.
