Stamina InLine Traction Control System, Back Pain Relief & Spine Decompression Machine - Stretching and Exercise Equipment for Home and Gym Workout - Portable Lower Body Fitness Stretcher

I don't usually write reviews, but this time I had to. I have suffered from back pain since I was around 11 years old (I'll be 40 in a few months). I can't even remember what it feels like not to be in pain. I have tried everything from skeptical as seen on TV devices, inversion tables, to pain killers and Yoga and meditation (Anything to stop the constant pain). So when I saw the Stamina Inline traction system I though..OKAY yet another device with high hopes that will probably end up at a yard sale some day, but like all the others before I decided to give it a try. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THIS DEVICE. Of course there are a few little things that are not perfect, and the construction is not aircraft quality or NASA certified, BUT for the price you can't go wrong. I owned an inversion table for 15 years and rarely used it. It was time consuming to take everything out of my pockets, find the space for it to swing wildly in the air, clamp my ankles in and have the blood rush to my head. And of course it never seem to work on the area that was in pain amd seemd to cause more pain in my ankles and legs than anything else. The Stamina is different. It's simple and fas., I can use it 10 times a day if I want, for a quick pressure release or a longer stretch. Best yey, IT ACTUALLY TARGETS THE RIGHT AREA. It takes a little getting used to and a little experimentation, but you can adjust the machine to stretch exactly where it needs to stretch. As a hint... Adjust the height high on your waist and the belt/strap close you waist to target the upper back and lower the height and move the belt back for lower back, somewhere in the middle is the sweet spot that gets the entire back. Hold your elbow close together for the upper back and farther apart for the lower back to allow more of a forward stretch. Bend your knees for lower back, straighten them for the upper back. So if it isn't stretching the right spot, experiment until it does. This isn't the machine to end all of your back pain for good, but if you are like me and live a life of constant pain, and have known your chiropractor and acupuncturist longer than your wife or husband, and know more about your massage therapist than your brothers and sisters, the Stamina InLine will be a great addition to your arsenal of healing if you take the time to learn how to use it. It's strong, affordable, reliable, simple, strong (I'm 6'0 200lb) and effective. I am completely satisfied and would give it a higher rating if I could.

Fantastic. For the price of a single session on a DRX9000 spinal decompression machine, this amazing device has made my back feel as good as it did when I went through a whole course of treatments at a spinal decompression center! It did things to my back right after assembling it, that I haven't felt for decades. I've tried hanging upside down, chiropractors, etc. But nothing could touch my hardest issue. My back has a very stubborn spot that only an expensive machine with expensive treatments could treat...until now. This thing is truly ingenious. Watch the product video. There are more videos hosted at YT. As one bends forward, the spine is both stretched and curved opposite to the natural curvature in the lower back. I have a herniated disk that has been debilitating for years. This device not only makes it easy to decompress the spine, it makes it easy to get in and out of the machine, making it much more inviting. This alone makes you want to use it, and in doing so, one discovers how beneficial even the casual quick stretch can be; Especially when your back pops in five different places and you immediately realize how much better you feel after walking around unaware of how much pain you simply learn to ignore without doing anything about it. By far, the best spinal decompression treatment for the money I've ever used! It can occasionally be a little difficult to reach the deeper stretch, but having a spouse or friend to spot you, and give a gentle push forward and hold at the end of the stretch can be very helpful! Got this for my wife who injured her back on vacation. Didn't have much faith that it could help me, but we were desperate, as spinal decompression is not covered by insurance. She made me try it and almost made a grown man cry. We are very thankful to have it!

I have several bulging discs in my low back and have been going to physical therapy and getting traction to avoid back surgery. The traction was the only thing that helped, without it I had pinched nerve pain so bad down my leg I was using crutches. However, you can't wait for the expensive treatments every time the back pain flares up. I was skeptical about any home machine working well enough to really help. So far I have been using this everyday, sometimes for 10 minutes other times 30. It provides excellent relief. I tried a friends home machine you lay on and turn the handle yourself. It was bulky, uncomfortable and not something you can do easily and quickly. This doesn't take up to much room, it's very sturdy and I have been able to use it to stretch and strengthen my core as well as getting results very close to the traction I was getting twice a week. My only complaint is my arms and chest got quite sore the first several times I used it as well as any time I use it more than 10 minutes. But, I'll take that over the back and sciatic nerve pain. Overall I think it's worth the money. I've recommended it to several others I knew from Physical therapy, all of them who have tried it out agree it's a great alternative to traction.

Very solid built unit. Helps well with my lower back herniated disks. Easy to use.

L’article a été livré très rapidement. Il est bien construit et solide. Le montage est relativement facile. 4 étoiles plutôt que 5? Cet appareil doit être bien ajusté. Puis il demande une bonne perception du corps et de la sensation d’étirement. Il faut « apprendre » à l’utiliser. Cela prend un certain temps. Jusqu’ici, après 2 ou 3 semaines, cela donne de bons résultats. J’attends une expérience de quelques semaines pour me faire une idée plus exacte. Peut-être être alors donnerai-je 5/5. Pour l’instant j’aime bien l’utiliser et il me fait du bien en 1 minutes ou 2, répétées quelques fois par jour. COMMENTAIRE 2: APRÈS QUELQUES SEMAINES D’UTILISATION, LES BUSHING (PIÈCES NO 18) SE DÉFORMENT ET NE SONT PAS SUFFISAMMENT SOLIDES DE SORTE QUE LA SECTION MOBILE DEVIENT BRANLANTE.

i love it, it dose what is suppose to do. I have inverter, and this has different function

I have a history of an L5 compression that required spinal decompression by Physiotherapy a few years ago. My back pain was returning and the thought of spending $1500 for decompression left me looking for alternatives. This device works surprisingly well. Just a few minutes a day keeps the back pain away, and it is safe. My father even bought his own after he tried mine. He is pain free after dealing with back pain for forty years. My MD and Osteopath both agreed it was safe to use, unlike other machines that can hurt your ankles and pinch nerves. I have tried all types of remedies for my back, the Inline TCS has been a game changer.

Great machine too much shipping cost.
