First of those new to the arts. Always be careful using stretchers, but if you are going to buy one this would be one to get, its a very sturdy construction but at the same time light weight enough to slide around the floor and hide in a corner for when company comes to visit. I was also highly impressed with how comfortable I was, the back support is a great improvement over previous models and forces you to keep a straight back while stretching out... which is always important.

First off the picture is very miss leading, be sure to take note of the .63oz in the description... the size of the container you are getting with this product can fit in the palm of your hand. Secondly, Icyhot will provide you the same results with a different smell for a fraction of the price. Overall the it does what it claims and is good for doing warm-ups or for getting rid of those annoying ligament and muscle aches.
