Stamina Inline Back Stretch Bench with Cervical Traction - Back and Neck Decompression - Inversion Table Alternative - Up to 250 lbs Weight Capacity

This bench is a major improvement from the previous version. It relieves pain, muscle tension and decompresses your back. This is a must have for all back problems. ITs a chiropractor and physiotherapist all in one.

Years ago, working as a nurse, I remember patients being put into traction for back pain. This back stretch bench is able to do something similar. I'll admit it took some getting used to and changes in how I used it but I now can't imagine not having it. Just a short time of stretching seems to realign my back, improve my posture, and eliminate discomfort. Lying down on the bench before stretching isn't a problem, but getting back up afterward is a little more challenging. After trying a couple of different methods, I have now found what works for me. I only gave 3 stars for ease of use and comfort, but that is not to imply it detracts from the bench. It took some experimenting to find the best option. Initially I didn't use the cervical strap, but eventually found that using it enhanced the stretch. And, for sure it isn't comfortable, but that is what encourages the relaxation that helps loosen muscles to relieve the tension. My husband originally found this bench to use for his back. Now we both use it and got one for our son.

Love it but need to fold it for under bed , otherwise I love it , my back feels better ,thanks to it,........lina

This thing is amazing. Ive been suffering with lumbar disc degeneration and herniation which has greatly impeded my life for the last several years. As a last ditch effort before resorting to surgery I began seeing a neuro kinesiologist who recommended this to supplement his treatments. I’ve been using it twice a day for 20minutes and my back hasn’t felt this great in years. I was actually able to do a 6mile hike the other day!! I do wish it was designed a little differently tho, I think it was designed for men. I’m a 5’7” female and the arm pit rollers at the smallest setting are still way too wide. They hit out inside my biceps, not my arm pits. I think the back board overall would need to be narrower for a lot of women. I wish they would make that version of adjustment bc it’s probably even more amazing if it fits you. Also it’s a bit difficult to use if you have a butt, but despite those things you can still manage and it is highly effective. Definitely do NOT use the release lever to undo the traction it snaps back very fast and you can be injured. Just take your arms and feet out and stretch your bent knees side to side for a bit until your back acclimates and then release the lever when you are off the machine. Super easy set up, good quality. Highly recommend.

I’ve been using the bench a lot and I’m very satisfied with it ! No regrets! Thx
