5.0 out of 5 stars
Very high quality device, November 18, 2008
This review is from: Teeter Hang Ups P3 Back Stretcher (Sports)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
works on long term injury, September 15, 2008
This review is from: Teeter Hang Ups P3 Back Stretcher (Sports)
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.

Worth every penny!, March 9, 2009
This review is from: Teeter Hang Ups P3 Back Stretcher (Sports)
I have had a bad back for over 25 years and been to chiropractors and even had motorized mechanical traction done on me. All those things have worked to greater and lesser degrees depending on how bad my back was at the time but it was always inconvenient to make appointments and expensive for each visit. This time when my back got really bad, I bought the Lynx. I am impressed with how well it is constructed, but even more so with how well it works. It provides as much stretch to my spine as the professional motorized traction machines I have been on in the past. After only a couple of uses, the pain in my lower back is greatly diminished and I can feel that my spine is being properly aligned. I plan on using this routinely to keep my back healthy. I only wish I had gotten one years ago!
