How can I make my recoil the easiest to pull that it can be?

I have a disk problem in my mid back. When I pull to start I can easily aggravate. The HRR is already somewhat easier to pull. Are their things that I can do to make it easier? Synthetic oil? Can I lube something etc. after pain of my back last night, I was ready to ditch the HRR and buy a Toro electric start recycler. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
