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.

The product comes in a box weighing aproximatly 30 to 50 ish pounds. Everything was present in the box including tools for the job. Following all directions was easy if you have put products together before. It took approximately 45 min to put together. Mine did come with a few extra bolts. The welds are perfect on my machine. I know others have not been so lucky in the past. (Maybe they fixed the issue?) The coating looks to last. No scuff or dents. Everything seems un remarkable. Functionality... this thing freaking works. Im pushing the weight limit at 282 lbs. I dont recommend pushing the weight limit, but I like to live dangerously. Lol. It feels like its sturdy enough. Im at my whits end with inversion tables because i dont like feeling like im going to have a stroke and i have crappy ankles. Im also 6' 3". And i feel if i was any taller this machine might not work. I can feel the results almost instantly right off the bat. I would be cautious for people with hip issues as it does put some pressurenon the hips when bending over. But, thats me. Overall, I'm very optimistic about it. And this will be in my daily routine. I do need to get a mat for the floor to go under it. Very satisfied this far. If you dont see an update to this post, it means Im not having any issues. Amd to whomever designed this: thanks!!!! Also. I would imagine there would be a market for a big and tall version of this.

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.

What can I say? It functions as advertised. I've been looking for something that would help me to really decompress my lower back, but I didn't want to opt for a solution that would pull on my legs. I just never had any luck with an inversion table, and my hunch was that I'd get a better result with something that put my legs somewhat perpendicular to my spine. This fit the bill and has done wonders!

I have spinal stenosis of varying degrees L1- S1. Especially L4-L5. I have tried Chiro, 20 sessions of Physio, 2 sessions of Cortisone etc. This unit has helped reduced my pain 50 percent in just 2 weeks . No more Naproxens and Tylenol. I like this particular equipment because it stretches the back of you legs and glutes . I wish I had found it a year ago

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.

Appareil mal calibré au niveau des poignées utilisé sur une période trop longue engourdissement et douleur aux bras et mains.

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