Sunny Health & Fitness Full Body Inversion Traction & Stretch Decompression Machine for Lumbar Stretching, Lower Back Pain Relief, Improved Posture Correction, Rehab, Spinal Compression, Flexibility

I use a machine similar to this one at my chiropractor. I loved the benefits of getting a good stretch. I can across this product and thought I would try it out. It exceeds my expectations. I was worried that it would not be stable due to the price, but it very sturdy. I have bad knees and floor stretching tweaks them. Using this to stretch takes the pressure off my knees and lets me get a great deep stretch. I use it mostly for the lower back, upper back, shoulders and hamstrings.Assembly is required, but it was very easy and had it ready to go in about 25 minutes. All tools were included and the screws are packaged by step. So, on step one the screws and bolts are packaged for just that step so there is not risk of not knowing which part is needed.If you are on the fence about this product and have used and loved the precor version (very costly), this is an excellent stretching and I recommend it! Great product at a great price!

For the price, this is fairly close to the Precor stretcher at the gym. Works great, Very sturdy, easy to put together. It can do all the stretches, the major difference is that it a bit smaller. So, other than a hamstring stretch it works for everything. The solution is just to take the unnecessary pads from under the handle.

First of all, this is a great alternative to inversion tables where you hang upside down for back decompression and this is the best and most affordable alternative design I’ve seen so far. It works.That said, I have a suggestion to make it much easier to get on and off and to use. Make the legs on the head end of the bench twice as long but keep the leg end the same. I used 10” blocks to boost the head end and it made it much easier to get on and off and it was more comfortable to use.

This was easy to put together and is pretty sturdy. Husband is using to help with a back problem. There seems to be some improvement.The bench is narrow so if you’re in pain getting off the bench is tricky. We designed a rope system that he can pull himself back up and use same to slowly lay down. Foot holder is a bit difficult to raise/release; again remembering my husband is in currently in pain to move certain ways.

Love this product! Assembly instructions were very clear and all small hardware pieces were packaged by assembly step. I am a small, 60-something woman and assembled this in 40 minutes by myself.Item is very sturdy and stable, similar to much more expensive brand at the gym. I switched gyms and my new one doesn’t have this piece. My lower back has been very tight and achy. I got immediate relief after using this stretching machine just once. Pain returned later in the day, but was relieved when I stretched again. I am confident that with steady use, I can return to a stronger and healthy back.

I had high hopes for this product. It seemed to be a good solution to my back issues. Back Decompression, right? I did check the sizes that the product would fit and I seemed good to go, but after receiving and putting it together (whew!); I found that it was too large for me. Or should I say, I was too short for the back decompressor. My measurements don't fit! The underarm rests are way too high for me, hitting my shoulders. This was one of my concerns, but again when I check the height/weight recommendations, I was in the parameters. I have contacted the vendors and I am hoping that we can come up with a solution. I can't use it, it doesn't fit my size. Now what??

Lower back

This is not a thousand-dollar machine, so don't expect it to be like those at PT, but I found a few simple modifications made this sold bench much better.Instead of having the machine pull on my ankles, I purchased straps/gait belts (like those used at PT for manual back stretching) to use around my hips and looped them around the bench's extension. Then I put a stool under the extension area. I bend my knees and place my feet on the stool with the straps around my waist and proceed to crank as instructed.I did find the crank difficult to reach at first, but after adjusting the shoulder rests and my butt position it is useable. I just always stop turning at a spot that is easy to grab hold of.
