Back traction is a form of exercise devised for the relief of back pain. It involves slowly pulling your body against a rope or chain, while maintaining a straight back position. Stretching and strengthening your back while stretching and strengthening your muscles will have amazing effects on your health. Exercising your back decompression device can help you to stay active and injury-free. It can also help you to lose weight and strengthen your body.
Back pain is one of the most common disorders worldwide. Patients who are injured often experience severe lower back pain. The muscles in the lower back region become weak due to prolonged sitting or standing. This makes it difficult to move, stand or sit comfortably. People with weak lower backs often find it difficult to carry out daily activities without aggravating their injury. Fortunately, there are several effective ways to alleviate lower back pain. One of these is back traction exercise.
When performing back traction exercises, you need to keep your back straight and your ears and shoulders aligned with your neck. You should then slowly pull against the rope or chain with both hands. You should grip the ends of the rope firmly at both ends and pull steadily away from your body. Your lower back should remain still throughout the exercise. Swaying forward while pulling against the rope will stretch and strengthen your lower back muscles while relieving tension in your back muscles. Maintaining good posture while pulling against the rope relieves your upper back muscles and allows you to breath more easily.
