Posture Pump® Penta Vec® Lumbar Decompression Device – Adjustable Lower Back Support for at-Home Spinal Stretching & Disc Hydration

I took a chance and ordered this for my back pain. This works really well although I don’t use the foot portion to stretch out. The foot part doesn't work for me - I don’t feel a stretch so I just use the back part. I first used this everyday for 2 weeks and now just once a week. It works really well.

We wanted to like this, however it seemed uncomfortable and confusing. We followed directions on use, however it didn’t seem to stay in place with the foot extension piece and it seemed to pull very uncomfortably around the hips. It may work for you, but we packed it back up after trying it a few times.

Item came in a clear plastic bag, unbranded bag, open. No instructions or red carry bag as shown in the image. Doesn’t give me confidence this is safe if it’s sold again open after a return. For this price I would have hoped for instructions and improved packaging. This was also supposed to be a gift but looks like I’m gifting a used item.

Im sure this could be nice for many people who do not have a severe injury. Felt like it totally does the job of elongating the back. Love that part. However, when there is a serious injury to the muscles even when done lightly, it cause some pretty bad pain which took over a week to recover. Had to return it.

I bought this with minimal expectations. I have spinal stenosis and I had hurt my back so it was extremely painful standing in one place for more than five minutes. One time of using this and my pain was gone. I am really shocked how well it works. I use it every few days to make sure the pain doesn't come back. I'm so thankful I bought it.

We recieved this product with hopes to alleviate some lower back pain open the convenient bag and laid the product out only to find a piece broken. The design looks sufficient enough to allow the customer to enjoy some pain free moments. However, the construction of the valve is a cheap plastic valve. I understand that i may be one of hundreds and the only one to have this happen. I also think that a metal valve would be more fruitful for long term and possibly heavy use. I do want to mention that i did not contact the seller over this as for me the plastic valve was just a bad point in my opinion.

This really works for my wife's back. I also ordered a much cheaper knockoff product that looks exactly the same, but it IS NOT. The bags wouldn't stay inflated on that cheap version. This will take some work to get the foot extension just right and we are still trying to get a handle on the best way to use it, and you will be sore for the first few days (and sore in weird places like your side muscles and such) but it does decompress and give benefit very well. This item was actually recommended by her chiropractor who has a top end decompression machine as a supplement during the week to help her issues.

I like the product, but if your back is chronically stiff or tight, you should really and truly start out super slow and easy. For me, just getting onto the equipment was a challenge at first, but I’ve improved, so “so far so good”. It’s still early times, but I am under the supervision of my chiropractor, and I will report in after more time has passed and we are more sure of our opinions. I give this product five stars because their is no other tool that I have found that will help you treat yourself in this way.

Absolutely fantastic product. There is nothing that can quite decompress the spine while helping you maintain a healthy arch. I personally was afflicted by a flattened spine. This fixed me up in about a year. I had to use it every single day of course.
