I guess some of the people here have never tried a vibrating belt as part of the treatment for an injured back as I recently had to with a ruptured disc which had me almost totally unable to sit for about 5 weeks... Hmmmmmmm, back soothing... Nope, better not to think about that. Have things to do. (topic P.S. Hey, I lost weight with all that standing, and am now mostly healed!) Nope, the ferrets don't have injured backs. They just love back rubs, including this version. Guess anyone who can almost tie into a knot like ferrets just plain would!
