Back Stretcher Belt for Spinal Decompression, Lumbar Traction Harness

I am extremely grateful for this product. I received it this morning, and have only used it once, but it very audibly adjusted the area of my back that has giving me problems for many years. I have a compressed spine between my shoulder blades. I own two inversion tables, and they do very little to relieve this discomfort. However, when I attached the harness around my chest, and let my body slowly drop, I had several of some of the most satisfying adjustments I've ever had. I've been to several chiropractors that couldn't get this particular adjustment, which, apparently, requires this unique catalyst. I'm just so grateful for this product, and I will be using it regularly. I can still feel discomfort in my back, but it's significantly less than it was. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what happens after regular use. Yes, it can be uncomfortable in the arm pits, and tightening the harness enough to prevent that makes it difficult to breathe, but the pads help, which likely makes it better than the ones without pads. Either way, it's obviously a trade-off (finding the least uncomfortable settings). In case I didn't mention it, I'm grateful.

Overall is a nice quality product, but the padding on armpits is too small, after 1 min of use it’s really painful to stay

Slid right up to my arms on tightest setting. Don’t waste your time.

This back stretcher harness is well made from quality materials. It runs a little large, though. I'm having to use extra padding so the harness does not slip too much. I would have bought a small if they had offered one.

I have to do traction every day so I bought this. I use it in the basement and made a bar that I screwed into one of the exposed floor joists overhead. I made the bar from some 3/4 pluming supplies (24" pipe, a pair of elbows, pair of nipples, and a pair of flanges, screwed into the joist with construction screws). It took a minute to figure out how to thread the straps and adjust them, but you really only have to do that once. But overall it does the job perfectly. I'm 185lbs and I have no worries about it supporting my weight. I find that it works better to keep my arms up (I hold the bar above me) and it's much more comfortable that way. I've been using it every day for the past 4 months.

I have been getting spinal decompression for years at the chiropractor office with his sophisticated decompression tables. It really helps my back. I bought this product in hopes that it would be good enough to help my back in between the visits to the chiropractor. It is good enough…but the instructions say to wrap it around your chest. WRONG! To keep it from sliding up, it needs to be wrapped around your midsection…below the rib cage. And that means the sizing measurement needs to be done there too. I am a big guy (XL shirts) and had to purchase the smaller size (medium) of this product.

uncomfortable...but WORKS to decompress my lower spine. Will be using bubble-wrap under arms . You MUST RELAX your muscles in order for this to work

In order to not fall through this to the floor, you have to strap it pretty tight. And when you do that, then stop holding yourself up and let your legs relax, the pressure on your chest cuts off your circulation. I nearly passed out, and if I had that would have been very dangerous because there would have been no way for my body to fall to the floor and cause me to start breathing again (normally if you faint, you fall down and once you're horizontal, blood can get oxygen to your brain) so I would have just suffered brain damage from lack of oxygen while I hung there with my circulation cut off. Won't be using it again, for sure.

This is an excellent product for lower to mid/upper back traction. It has an excellent build quality and highly adjustable. But I can't see this being comfortable for women based on how it sits across the torso or chest depending on where you require traction. Also, this is highly versatile of you use it with a chair to help support you. Again, depending on where you require traction.

Worth every penny Strong Recommend !!! drop

The harness is very useful if used wisely but the pad for the arm pit is not good it just gives you pain...so I would suggest to add more padding for the arm pit
