What this machine did was work to strengthen the very muscles in her back that were causing her trouble, so in the end, it did help. She said the bike and the treadmill both were actually worse on her back as time went on, and the rowing machine was better as time went by. If you have back problems, you should talk to your doctor before you get one of these, but it might also be just what you need. What can be great about a rowing machine is that you can usually find a size that goes well in your home. If you have a home gym, or the space to build one, you can get the larger sized one if you want.
