Dr. Rowe shows an easy way to decompress your back at home.
This exercise will focus on a pulling motion in the back, known as traction, to help relieve pressure off spinal joints quickly. It’s especially good for bulging discs causing lower back pain and sciatica.
It requires no special equipment and may give relief within seconds.
Let us know how it works for you!

Can you do one for cervical decompression?
There was time when I wanted one of my roommates to hang me upside down like a rabbit in order to relieve the pain in my back, instead he came up with this contraption with a board and I used his shoes, which were like clown shoe size and when I was hoisted up I slipped out of the shoes. I made sure to have a pillow handy just in case something like this was going to happen. Oh well 😊
👏👏👏👏👏👏❤it's work 💯
Might as well get a disc replacement .. exercise is like robber band goes vack normal after a stretch
Are you here to trick the YouTube ai
The first part goes quite well, but very often when I set my weight back down my back hurts like crazy, as if something is maybe getting pinched by the spring of my spine settling back together ??
Your videos are the best I've seen. Exercises I've never seen before. Thank you soo much!
Twice as better if you use your truck tailgate. I flip my wrist forward, hands close to the body. Lift your feet and your spine cracks from top to bottom. Its heaven!!
What does it mean if you dont feel anything while doing it? Like as if my arms, shoulders and back are just like held together as a monolith and unable to get that pull feeling? Ive only ever been able to feel it on the upside things you can hang off of
I’m not strong enough 😢
I do this to crack my back a little. Lol
So can i Just die regular Dips to get the Same benefit?
Thank you very much Dr. I appreciate all your tips
Uhm some of yall tables are too cheap for this! Be careful!
One of my favorite for easy decompression
I remember my parents telling me not to do this as a kid
I did this and could barely walk afterwards
Holy smokes it worked !
Not strong enough to lift my body.
Nice technique. I employ an inversion table where you find yourself upside-down ( I also do crunches on the table once a week ) every morning for 3 minutes. I also use leg lifts, crunches and plank exercises. I have sciatica and other sports related injuries however since I employed this regimen 10 years ago I have managed to avoid any debilitating episodes.
I did this on the island in the kitchen and my wife walked in and thought I was cheating on her.
Do you have any suggestions for upper back issues incl kyphosis
If I do that I'll scream in pain and be messed up for weeks
I just do a good lift on my arms and let my body weight stretch my spine. Usually get a whole bunch of cracks.
When I do this, my lower back hurts as hell and makes me so hard to move after few hours
I have daily lower back pain and I so badly want to decompress my lower spine. Anytime I do this though, I can feel it’s going to hurt sooooo bad that I stop myself from ever popping it. It feels like my lower back is gonna get thrown out if I go through with it.
I wish somebody could pull my lower spine like they do with the neck strap to their necks.
I can't do it 😢 I have scar tissue around the righ elbow nerve 😢
This works better if you're doing it against a corner rather than straight surface
B.s.
I learned to do this on my own after multiple herniated disk in the L1-L2 area
My table fell apart because I am fat- this doesn’t work for fat. If you’re fat like me I suggest the ball/banana method. Much better
Just don’t use your grandmothers antique table from Italy. It’s fragile.
What’s a good alternative here ? For those who have complete upper back & arm muscle weakness
Will it also work for piriformis?
Im 600lbs, i broke my kitchen.
I usually do these full arm extension, then "drop my self" a little and immediately hold. everyone around me can here my back pop like bubble wrap, of course my back muscles tense up but after 10 seconds they release and my back pops more. definite relief.
Can I do this exercise in the early days of back pain?
works all the way to my shoulders and neck too. can also be done while sitting
Womp, I'm too short to copy you, exactly. 🙃 But it did open me up for some pops
Basically way too hard to do if you’re really heavy, let alone lifting up your legs, but it was nice for a few seconds. I definitely felt something besides the pain in my hands and wrists.
I always used to use the metal bars in lines at Disneyland to do this even as a teen LOL. It really does work
