Summary: Very high quality device
Comment: The price (around $100 - 110) seemed high, but when it arrived, I could see why: this is very well made and solidly built using thick aluminum and thick rubber pads where needed. The design and engineering reflect considerable thought and testing.

The stretcher works because you are pushing your feet away from your shoulders (the feet are held by anke grippers, and you push your feet away by pushing on long handles). Entirely manual, no electricity, and no inversion: just lie on the floor and push.

I've only used it for a few minutes, but it does what I hoped it would: lets me stretch my lower back. There's a lot of aching during parts of the stretch, but I did them as "reps", 10-15 seconds of stretch, then 30-60 seconds of rest. After a couple of reps, the ache was minimal and I could feel my back stretching.

One of my concerns was that the stretch would be in the ankles and knees. Not so. All of the stretch was in the lower back. A fringe benefit will be some muscle building in my arms and shoulders, by pushing on the handles.

The 5-star rating reflects the excellent design and construction of the device, and my preliminary use of it. In a few weeks, I'll update this, once there's been some time to see whether there is any lasting benefit.

Summary: works on long term injury
Comment:
I got this after suffering from long term injury
and spending hundreds $ and painful days on ice
I used this a few times a month,my problem not
only was solved within 15 mins a day,but the
disc health has IMPROVED. mY friend used it,with his
lower back pinched nerve,and LOVED it.
I would say,its unbeatable for decompression of the
spine. I HAVE not gone to a chiropractor since.



Editorial Reviews:

The Lynx Portable Back Stretcher offers you a compact, portable solution for stretching, relaxing and decompressing your body. With your ankles secured in the contoured foot supports, pushing firmly with your hands on the leverage handles results in a great stretch. The moderate, self-administered traction achieved when using the Lynx helps to realign the spine, increase flexibility in the joints, promote relaxation and improve posture through better alignment. Decompressing the discs helps them to re-hydrate for better shock absorption and reduced back pain. When stretching with the Lynx, the average skeleton lengthens one-half to one inch (1.3 - 2.5 cm), effectively increasing the space between the vertebrae. This relieves pressure on the discs, ligaments and nerve roots, and helps to align the spine.
