More than 80% of the population suffers from cervical, dorsal, and lumbar back pain. Gravity, injury, bad posture, and old age cause the muscles, bones, and ligaments surrounding the spine to become shortened over time. This painful condition results in neck, back, hip, and leg pain.
Rather than resorting to invasive treatments such as surgery or medication that has side effects, the Spinal Backrack Decompression Device can be used by itself or in combination with physiotherapy to elongate the spine and eliminate pain. The Spinal Backrack Decompression Device is an effective treatment device that takes up a small amount of space, is easy to learn how to use, and makes it possible for patients to actively participate in their own rehabilitation.
Comprehensive Range of Movement
A series of exercises can be performed, depending on pain levels and abilities. Initially, beginner users may not be accustomed to the pressure that the Spinal Backrack Decompression Device applies. To decompress the spine using only moderate pressure, a series of basic exercises can be performed. Once the spine adapts to the Backrack, the pressure applied will need to be increased with advanced exercises that decompress with moderate-high pressure. These more advanced exercises help strengthen the deep, stabilizing muscles that support the spine.
Beginner Positions
Neutral Sitting Position
The neutral starting position is achievable, even for those with moderate to severe back pain. A small amount of pressure is applied to the spine and you aren't required to move, as the spine rests in a neutral position. For those with neck pain, the head can be rotated to one side, shifting the weight of the head over to the corresponding side of the neck, increasing the amount of pressure in the region. For reduced neck pressure, a folded towel can be placed behind the neck.
Single Leg Raise
Once the user is comfortable with the starting position, they can bring up one leg towards the chest, shifting the weight of the leg over the corresponding side of the lower spine. This increases the amount of pressure in this region. It also helps stretch the hamstring muscle, running down the back of the upper leg. After holding this position for at least 30 seconds, return the leg to the floor and raise the other leg.
Double Leg Raise
The Double Leg Raise increases the pressure under the lower spine by shifting the weight of both legs over the lower back. After holding this position for at least 30 seconds, bring the legs further towards the chest and hold this position for at least 30 seconds. Those who have had issues with their lower back will have tight hamstrings. Bringing the legs towards the chest in small increments makes this exercise more tolerable.
Backwards Tilt
This position increases pressure on the neck. It is performed by raising the pelvis towards the ceiling, holding the position for a few seconds, and lowering back down to the floor.
Advanced Positions
Double Leg Raise with Tilt
This position applies pressure to the lumbar spine by combining a double leg raise with a side topping move that shifts weight to the lumbar spine's side.
Stomach Crunch
The stomach crunch exercise applies moderate pressure to the lower back. Consisting of a simple abdominal crunch performed while on the decompression device, this exercise strengthens abdominal muscles while stabilizing the spine.
Lean Back with Tilt
This position applies maximum pressure to the mid-upper back, which is also known as the thoracic spine. The exercise combines a stomach crunch with a rolling motion down the rack that targets specific vertebra.

How Often the Spinal Backrack Decompression Device can be Used
The Spinal Backrack Decompression Device can be used as often as the user would like, but the device is recommended for use every other day at 5 to 10 minutes per session. Initially, users may feel soreness caused by the joints' natural response to decompression.
