This is the apparatus that gently relieves lower- and mid-back discomfort and stiffness without requiring you to kneel on the floor. As you lean forward from a standing position, the device uses your body weight to create a strong, steady traction that relieves pressure on the spine and helps loosen tense back muscles--the further you lean, the stronger the traction. The unit's shoulder pads keep your spine, shoulders, and hips properly aligned and an adjustable padded waistband lets you customize the device's range of motion. Using the apparatus for just 5-10 minutes a day can relieve back discomfort without medication. The unit's 1" tubular steel frame supports up to 250 lbs. yet it is lightweight and compact for convenient transport and storage. Please note that The Gentle Motion Standing Back Stretcher is not for sale in Australia or the United Kingdom. Assembles easily. 34" L x 27" W x 53" H. (29 lbs.)
