You May Think This Looks Like a Torture Machine but it’s Quite Comfortable

I have been going to Benchmark Medical Group in Windsor now for a few weeks and I cannot even begin to tell you how much better I feel! How do I feel better? Well, I sleep better, my back doesn't hurt, my chronic headaches that I used to get are gone, and to top it off I have lost quite a bit of weight are only a few of the many things I have noticed in only a few short weeks!

The contraption that I am using in the video is used to correct spinal problems in your neck and it's used in traction / decompression therapy. I have a strap on my chin that connects to the back of my head, pulling up with weights and a weighted strap pulling forward. Check out the video:

The upward pulling strap relieves the pressure in my neck. Have you ever felt like you've had a stack of bricks on the top of your head making you feel like your head is just too heavy for your neck? I have! This is helping relieve the pressure that poor posture has caused to my body.
The weighted forward pulling strap is pulling the curve back into my neck and setting the vertebrae, tendons and all of that other medical jargon that I don't really understand back into a correct posture, effectively reducing spinal pressure and making me feel better!

I usually sit in this specific portion of traction/decompression therapy for 10 minutes a few times a week. So far, this has had a HUGE impact on the feeling of pressure on my neck and alleviating my headaches that I used to get 2-5 times a week. Since starting at Benchmark Medical Group, I have yet to have a single headache!
