Awesome Product
Sooo im a huge Meeechhigan fan and anything that comes out of Columbus ohio im am very leary of. With that being said, this product is awesome and needs to be in your home and used everyday. I hurt my back 10 years ago like i did a week ago. 10 years ago it took 500 dollars at the chiro and plenty of other drugs to no avail. Took me a month before i could walk half way decent. Messed around picking up a heavy planter on my patio and my back wrenched. Got this product and i played golf in 5 days. I also used a heat pack along with hot baths but this stretching thing made the most difference. Again, bc of my fandom anything out of Columbus has to over perform to even consider a revue. This product over performed like the wolverines have the last 4 years. Go Blue.

WOMEN, PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW (and Men Too) !
ALTERNATIVE: Consider a FISHER TRACTION Lower Back Unit with added knee wedge supports that’s used on the floor so you can actually relax without added pain. Almost any BODY can use that one!PHASE 1 - YIKES!: As of this review there is NO full disclosure disclaimer on Amazon about this harness being unsuitable for large busted women; I found out too late that the disclaimer is ONLY on Dr. Dorsey’s website - almost at the bottom! Fool me once . . . Dr. Josh Dorsey, you’ve got some disclaiming to do on Amazon! Sadly for me, the return deadline has passed; yeah, buyer beware.Unless you’re built like a 12-year-old boy this thing HURTS as demonstrated - if you can keep it on! Slippery unpadded vinyl material, no instructions on safety threading the webbing straps and a stubborn waist belt clip release, all say, what was I thinking? If you like hanging from your armpits and breasts, this is for you! It was designed by a thin male chiropractor without any consideration for the physiologic differences between men and women or their weight dynamics. Others have commented on this shortsightedness and Dr. Dorsey has done nothing to address it. And kudos to my husband for safety threading the drop straps that I photographed.PHASE 2 - WORKAROUND: After some pondering, I re-deployed this harness to use like a Back Bubble decompression device. Because the size I purchased was just large enough with which to work, I velcro-ed the vinyl band and adjusted the safety belt to the largest matching safe circumference. While the harness was hanging, I turned it to look like an “O,” belt clip at bottom. I then adjusted the drop straps so the bottom of the “O” was at about waist height. I could then put my body weight across the flat band by entering the “O” head first to find a point of equilibrium around my ribs, not my breasts. My hands and arms could still grip the drop straps to help stabilize my tilt. As a woman, this is the only potential use I’ve found for this poor design. Good luck!

Wow it really works! A couple suggestion for next version....
Review:For the past year or so my back has been KILLING me. The junction where the T12/ L1 meet has become hyper mobile to compensate for my upper back being extremely tight. This caused a pinched nerve which I'd feel all day long as dull pain and then wake me up in the middle of the night from severe & sharp nerve pain. Anyone that has had nerve pain knows this is no joke (advil, aleve, percoset, etc won't touch the pain, nothing helps you just suck it up - so I'd be getting out of bed at 4 am almost every day because I couldn't deal with the pain any longer). I'm sure this is due to inactivity, sitting behind a PC for 8 hours a day and bad posture. I've spent hundreds of $ going to to PT for months, acupuncture treatments and a cortisone shot which all did absolutely nothing for me. The next step was to go back to the doctor and get an MRI/ back surgery - no thanks.I figured my spine was compressed so started with hanging on a pull up bar for a minute or so at a time as that's all I could do but it wasn't enough. I then found this product and figured I'd give it a shot but wasn't hopeful as nothing else seemed to work - my trouble spot is right at the very edge of where this product is no longer effective because the waist strap starts to cover it.I started using it twice a day and 3 minutes per stance and I can honestly say within a week, the pain decreased so much that I was able to sleep through the night without waking up due to pain. First time within about 6 months. I just could not believe it.And it seems to have semi lasting results; I haven't used it in about a week and still able to sleep through the night. I now use it as needed and when my back starts talking to me. No it's not a cure all & Yes there's still some dull pain noticeable throughout the day but at least it's manageable and almost never sharp like it was before.I will say that I made some other changes along with this. As my bad posture behind a PC perpetuated this, I needed to also correct it so purchased Upright GO | Posture Trainer which vibrates every time you slouch - otherwise doing the Sit and Decompress really would just be a bandaid for the bigger issue.. I also am working on increasing core strength via exercise. I used to get sciatic flare ups all the time and noticed doing a bunch of lunges help prevent these. This 3 pronged approach is what works for me.Suggestions:While it indeed is extremely effective for lower back issues, you really need to follow instructions to get a good fit and prevent slippage into the armpits. For those complaining of slippage, you need to ensure the TOP of waist strap is tight and UNDER your chest muscles/ breasts - NOT on top of them. If it starts to slip, then it's not tight enough. As it needs to be really tight, you can at times feel like you can't get a good breath. Maybe proper & padded support under the armpits as well could alleviate this a bit so you don't need it so tight?The youtube vids really helped with this. I couldn't figure out the reason for the double D hooks on the over shoulder straps at first but found they were to rest your arms if needed. Maybe better pictures of each feature in detail could be provided in the instructions as well as a link to Dr Josh's YT channel.Only other suggestion I can think of is I'd love to be able to also decompress my thoracic spine. There's nothing on the market that will do this unless you want blood rushing to your head on an inverted traction table - which I do not.But how can this be done as the waist strap is taking all of the weight and covering the thoracic spine in the process? Maybe instead of the current waist strap, use a rigid inverted V type strap supported at the top and padded arm rests leaving your entire spine exposed and able to decompress. I'd buy this in a heart beat
