I'm just not sure I'm feeling the stretch like I should. I feel it, but there's a wide range of how much I advance the wheel and still feel kind of the same. Jury is still out on this.
Opens me up in between the chiro visits with the BIG Decormpression table! BUT one issue- I have a sway back. At the chiro, they put pillows under my knees. This machine cannot accommodate that, but it would be great if the Highest footrest were the lowest, thus lifting my legs and taking pressure off my sway back. Is there any way to accomplish getting my back to lie flat?
The screw broke off in the crank handle, the crank handle spun on me due to the screw not being tight and when I went to tighten it for the 3rd time the screw broke off.
Im 6. 5 320lbs I got this to help with my horrible back pain. However I found this item to be extremely uncomfortable and all it doid was make my ankles feel like they're getting ripped out i tried all the adjustments to make it feel better or do as its supposed to but couldn't find the right way. If you're smaller and lighter maybe it'll work for you. I'll be returning mine
Excellent quality construction. If you have spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, collapsed discs, severe low back pain, lost height due to spinal compression this machine will be helpful. I find it works much better if you lie on your stomach as you can feel the decompression much better. The only down side is that if you have a really bad back it is difficult to get back up off the machine when you're done. Slide your feet in and out instead of using the clamping mechanism. Then rotate on your stomach on the bench and put you knees on the floor to stand up. Couldn't be more pleased with how it feels to be pain free for a while. Hope to get lasting results with continued use.
