How Does Floating Decompression Work?

Floating Decompression unloads pressure on the nerves, blood vessels and bones.

As fluids are drawn back into the surrounding area of the damaged disc, nutrients, blood and healing substances help reconsitute and heal the damaged disc.

For over 2,000 years, man has recognized that standing upright produces unavoidable gravitational forces on the human body.

Intuitively, reversing the downward force of the upper torso on the lower body to relieve pressure seems logical.

The most safe and effective method of this pressure elimination is to restrain the upper torso in a fixed position while comfortably suspending the lower trunk.

By making the person's torso stationary and suspending the lower body by gravity, the effect becomes one of "Floating Decompression."

This natural tractive force provides reduction in pressure on the soft tissues, bones, blood vessels and intervertebral (between the vertebrae) structures.

With the Floating Decompression System, the unloading never exceeds the natural suspended body weight and does not apply any direct pulling force on the lower extremity.

In effect, the patient simply "floats".

Additionally, mobilization and stretching exercises can be performed at the same time as the patient is being decompressed.
