Sunny Health & Fitness Full Body Inversion Traction & Stretch Decompression Machine for Lumbar Stretching, Lower Back Pain Relief, Improved Posture Correction, Rehab, Spinal Compression, Flexibility

I have had this for a long time. I see my chiropractor every single week at least twice. Well, when I first got this back stretcher I now know that I overdid it! It made me sick to my stomach. Mind you I am in my 70's. However I started using it again a week or so ago for like 3 to 5 minutes a day..nice..long...easy...stretches....several times a day and I am telling you I feel so much better! I so wish when I first got this machine that I had used it properly. I am always painting, picking up the yard and moving stuff and I am learning to use this machine for 3 to 5 minutes BEFORE and AFTER...my back hurts less and I am so grateful...blessings!

First of all, this is a great alternative to inversion tables where you hang upside down for back decompression and this is the best and most affordable alternative design I’ve seen so far. It works.That said, I have a suggestion to make it much easier to get on and off and to use. Make the legs on the head end of the bench twice as long but keep the leg end the same. I used 10” blocks to boost the head end and it made it much easier to get on and off and it was more comfortable to use.

The machine nearly identical to this one (but much more expensive) at the gym I go to got me hooked so much that I got this one to use at home. This less expensive option works just as well as the one at the gym.

This was easy to put together and is pretty sturdy. Husband is using to help with a back problem. There seems to be some improvement.The bench is narrow so if you’re in pain getting off the bench is tricky. We designed a rope system that he can pull himself back up and use same to slowly lay down. Foot holder is a bit difficult to raise/release; again remembering my husband is in currently in pain to move certain ways.

This is a great product for people who are not extremely tall. I have used one of these for years at a gym and finally bought one for home. This one is more compact than the Precor machine but is very effective for shorter people. I am getting a better stretch on it than on the Precor Machine. Not quite a sturdy as Precor but doesn't matter for me.Directions could be a little better. Pictures of how screws go in should be larger. Took about 1.5 hours to assemble by myself.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this unit a few days ago for my 78 year old mom who has a lot of lower back pain. I use a much better machine at the gym that helps me so I figured…. you know be a good son and get one for her. That is until I searched for it and realized how expensive that one at my gym is. I went with the Sunny one because it was the least expensive and they made it look really good in the pictures. That was a mistake. It’s not a quality machine.This thing is tiny compared to what I am used to using. The seat back is maybe 6 inches across and barely offers support. The seat is too close to the handles ( maybe 3 fingers of distance) and you end up in a much more uncomfortable collapsed position than other stretch machines that I have used. One of my favorite exercises is the glute stretch where you place one knee over the other and lean back. I kept catching my foot on the handles getting into that position and almost tipped the whole thing over trying to get out of it. I thought the hamstring foam thing was cool when I saw pictures of it. I struggled to get my ankles into the foam pieces without hitting my shins on the handlebars. The seat cushion is really thin and digs into the back of my legs. If you are over 5’5” then you will have to lean back, balance and then slide a foot in from the side to use the foam things because its so cramped. Awkward to say the least. This is dangerous for my mom to try to do that. I’ll be sending this back as soon as I have the time to disassemble it and pack it back up. This is me a 6’1” guy on this thing. That should give you some perspective of who this is made for…. Very skinny very short people. Do yourself a favor and opt for one that is sturdier, has more support and some room between the handles and knee pad.

Well constructed and easily assembled. A gym I used to go to had these. It's great for a warmup tool and for cool downs.

Love this. I bought it after closing out my membership to a gym had something similar. I was nerveous it wouldn't be balanced. That has not been a concern. Took half an hour to assemble, instructions were fairly clear.
