HOW SIT AND DECOMPRESS WORKS Once the setup bar is set up and the harness is strapped to the bar. You will wrap the harness around your ribs, like the picture. Once the harness is snugly wrapped around your will slowly relax your legs to begin the spinal decompression. The more you relax your legs the more decompression will occur. Your spine responds like a spring. Since you are securely held up top by the harness, all part of your spine below the harness will stretch and decompress. The stretch can be felt on all sides of your spine, but you can focus your stretch on your troubled area by utilizing the 4 stances. Most Commonly Fixed Conditions Spinal Stenosis Degenerative Disc Sciatica Disc Pain Loss of height General Low Back Pain and Stiffness Scoliosis Conditions That Respond To Sit and Decompress Low Back Pan and Stiffness Disc Injuries that include: Herniations, bulges, and protrusions Scoliosis and Spinal Curvatures Arthritis Facet Syndrome and Pinched Nerves Fountain of Youth : If your spine is giving you pain it can make you feel old and worn out. Have you noticed that most people under the age of 30 years old do not suffer with back pain? The reason is because they have cushion between the vertebrates that allowing your spine to move freely. When we age this cushion becomes compressed, like a spring. The more compression on your cushions causes your spine to stiffen, tighten and become painful. Furthermore, your muscles around the spine develop knots and sometimes they spasm. Your spine is responding like a compressed spring. Stiff, tight, and under stress. With some help from Sit and Decompress you can correct the compression relieving the pressure on your spine. In the short decompression sessions, you can create more space between your vertebrates. Adding more cushion is like the fountain of youth for your spine. Please Measure To Get Your Correct Size. Sizing is the most important part of this therapy to work. Please measure around the chest like the picture. If you size it to small it will not wrap around your ribs and the Velcro will not attach. Once you know your chest measurement, plug it into the chart for the perfect fit. Thank You. Dr. Josh Quick Start and Setup. Setup takes less than 5 minutes. Place Chin up Bar In doorway. You can purchase Sit and Decompress with or without the bar. If you already have a bar all you need it our harness. Hang your harness. Hang harness on bar with the overhead straps on the outside part of bar, like pictured. Step in and wrap like a vest. Wrap snugly around ribs. You may need to wrap at angle depending on you body shape. Top of harness should be at chest level. Often customers start the harness too low. You will want to start it above stomach and at chest level. 4 Stances to Give you 360 Degrees of Stretch. Flexion Stance Flexion stance is the 2nd stance you will preform. This stretch will offer the most decompression of all the stances. Right leg Back Split Stance Depending on your condition, your right leg back will stretch your right side more. Left leg Back Split Stance Left leg back will stretch the left side more. You will still get an overall stretch to you spine but you will feel more on the left. Neutral Stance This stance is were everyone starts. This will get you started and see how the harness will work. This is the starter stance. Start here to warm your back muscles and slowly decompress your back. Review: Excellent! It relieved my chronic lower back pain in less than a week! - I took a while to decide purchasing Sit and Decompress given some of the mixed reviews. However, the idea behind it made perfect sense to me so I bought it anyway. Inversion was not an option since I have high blood pressure and other options look less attractive (either because of price or because they seemed to induce less traction). I have been using it for a week and it has eliminated the constant back pain in my lower back (I have three herniated disks and lately the pain had become chronic). It actually made a huge difference in the second or third day (even though from the beginning I started feeling the stretch in my back and a difference using it twice a day for about 8 to 10 minutes). To be clear, I still have some back pain when sitting for too long at work. However, that is nowhere close to what I had (after sitting for a while, it was embarrassing to walk around since it was evident I was under pain). I am also running again and planning to return to my soccer team (I am a 53 year old still playing in a league but I had missed my last two games because of this). Like many others indicated, the brace is a bit uncomfortable since you are essentially putting most of your own weight on the rib cage. However, in my case, I did not have much problem (for my body the lower strap adjusts about an inch tighter than the upper strap so I guess I have somewhat of a V shape but not too much, at least not in the mirror). I take this over the back pain anytime. I just used a cotton shirt. I have not tried towels because I did not have much problem to withstand it for 10 minutes. Durability may be an issue as the straps are adjusted with plastic rings. However, so far they have worked great. I have the same concern with the sawing of the straps. I do not know how long they will last. However, for those with chronic back pain like I was having, I consider it a good investment even if you have to buy another one in a few months (consider that you do not have to take anti inflammatory medication, what those pills may do to your stomach, that you are a lot more efficient at work and able to enjoy other activities when you are not in constant pain, and that you may end up not going to visit the doctor because of this). I was having more recurrent episodes where you almost cannot move for a simple bad movement. Although a week is too early to tell, it does feel like this would reduce those episodes dramatically. Finally, I got a chin bar from desertcart. It is pretty good and I feel extremely safe using it (I had never used one before and I was uneasy about how safe it was to hang yourself from it. The only thing is that the foam can leave some marks on your door trim (I saw other reviews for the same chin bar indicating this). To avoid that, I just used the white foam from the packaging of the chin bar wrapped around the two handles that touch the door (if fits perfectly). In summary, if you are on the fence, I would give it a try. At least for me, it has made things much better in just a week. I take the opportunity to congratulate Dr. Dorsey for an excellent idea! Update: two weeks and still working great. I really do not understand the complaints about setting it up. After the initial setup, it takes me less than a minute to put it on the door and then another minute to strap it to my body. Review: Wow it really works! A couple suggestion for next version.... - Review: For the past year or so my back has been KILLING me. The junction where the T12/ L1 meet has become hyper mobile to compensate for my upper back being extremely tight. This caused a pinched nerve which I'd feel all day long as dull pain and then wake me up in the middle of the night from severe & sharp nerve pain. Anyone that has had nerve pain knows this is no joke (advil, aleve, percoset, etc won't touch the pain, nothing helps you just suck it up - so I'd be getting out of bed at 4 am almost every day because I couldn't deal with the pain any longer). I'm sure this is due to inactivity, sitting behind a PC for 8 hours a day and bad posture. I've spent hundreds of $ going to to PT for months, acupuncture treatments and a cortisone shot which all did absolutely nothing for me. The next step was to go back to the doctor and get an MRI/ back surgery - no thanks. I figured my spine was compressed so started with hanging on a pull up bar for a minute or so at a time as that's all I could do but it wasn't enough. I then found this product and figured I'd give it a shot but wasn't hopeful as nothing else seemed to work - my trouble spot is right at the very edge of where this product is no longer effective because the waist strap starts to cover it. I started using it twice a day and 3 minutes per stance and I can honestly say within a week, the pain decreased so much that I was able to sleep through the night without waking up due to pain. First time within about 6 months. I just could not believe it. And it seems to have semi lasting results; I haven't used it in about a week and still able to sleep through the night. I now use it as needed and when my back starts talking to me. No it's not a cure all & Yes there's still some dull pain noticeable throughout the day but at least it's manageable and almost never sharp like it was before. I will say that I made some other changes along with this. As my bad posture behind a PC perpetuated this, I needed to also correct it so purchased Upright GO | Posture Trainer which vibrates every time you slouch - otherwise doing the Sit and Decompress really would just be a bandaid for the bigger issue.. I also am working on increasing core strength via exercise. I used to get sciatic flare ups all the time and noticed doing a bunch of lunges help prevent these. This 3 pronged approach is what works for me. Suggestions: While it indeed is extremely effective for lower back issues, you really need to follow instructions to get a good fit and prevent slippage into the armpits. For those complaining of slippage, you need to ensure the TOP of waist strap is tight and UNDER your chest muscles/ breasts - NOT on top of them. If it starts to slip, then it's not tight enough. As it needs to be really tight, you can at times feel like you can't get a good breath. Maybe proper & padded support under the armpits as well could alleviate this a bit so you don't need it so tight? The youtube vids really helped with this. I couldn't figure out the reason for the double D hooks on the over shoulder straps at first but found they were to rest your arms if needed. Maybe better pictures of each feature in detail could be provided in the instructions as well as a link to Dr Josh's YT channel. Only other suggestion I can think of is I'd love to be able to also decompress my thoracic spine. There's nothing on the market that will do this unless you want blood rushing to your head on an inverted traction table - which I do not. But how can this be done as the waist strap is taking all of the weight and covering the thoracic spine in the process? Maybe instead of the current waist strap, use a rigid inverted V type strap supported at the top and padded arm rests leaving your entire spine exposed and able to decompress. I'd buy this in a heart beat ## Features - Start with 3 minutes per day - Simple to set up and use. Once set up on the bar takes 10 seconds to get stretching. - Safe for any and all conditions. Yes even pre or post surgery. You should actually use this before surgery. It might help enough to cancel surgery. - "Helps with disc pain, scoliosis, uneven hips, degernetaive disc disease, arthritis, spondylosis, flexibility, pain management, nerve release, sciatica relief, essentially any issue with the low back." - Designed by a chiropractor ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01GEX42BO | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #104,199 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #93 in Traction Equipment | | Brand | Sit and Decompress The Ultimate Low Back Therapy | | Brand Name | Sit and Decompress The Ultimate Low Back Therapy | | Closure Type | Loop | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 out of 5 stars 1,879 Reviews | | Item Weight | 2.47 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Dr Dorsey Brands | | Model Name | Version 4 | | Model Number | XLB | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | XLB | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Size | X-Large | | Specific Uses For Product | Arthritis, Degenerative Disc Disease, Herniated Disc, Sciatica, Scoliosis | | Sport Type | Walking | | Target Use Body Part | Back | | UPC | 662578483083 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Use for | Back | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sit and Decompress The Ultimate Low Back Therapy - **Size:** X-Large - **Specific Uses For Product:** Scoliosis, Herniated Disc, Arthritis, Degenerative Disc Disease, Sciatica - **Use for:** Back - **Age Range (Description):** Adult ## Images ![Sit and Decompress Back Stretcher 3 Minutes A Day Lumbar Traction Spinal Decompression - Inversion Table Alternative (Xlarge No Bar) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DAQQQglOL.jpg) ![Sit and Decompress Back Stretcher 3 Minutes A Day Lumbar Traction Spinal Decompression - Inversion Table Alternative (Xlarge No Bar) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xrDDEAyUL.jpg) ![Sit and Decompress Back Stretcher 3 Minutes A Day Lumbar Traction Spinal Decompression - Inversion Table Alternative (Xlarge No Bar) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6141wY5PFRL.jpg) ![Sit and Decompress Back Stretcher 3 Minutes A Day Lumbar Traction Spinal Decompression - Inversion Table Alternative (Xlarge No Bar) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71uxv45TtaL.jpg) ![Sit and Decompress Back Stretcher 3 Minutes A Day Lumbar Traction Spinal Decompression - Inversion Table Alternative (Xlarge No Bar) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ojL56uk5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you hang without feet touching the floor? The pics do not show that as an option.** A: Hanging with your feet not touching the floor actually does not work in getting your back to decompress and stretch. By lifting your legs, you engage the core muscles of the back and abdomen not allowing your back to stretch. The muscles act like splints holding your spine in its normal posture. By leaving your feet on the ground and using the different stances you can actually focus your stretch depending on which stance you are in. Use your feet for stability and to gently rock in flexion stance.It is a very very powerful stretch when you let gravity due its job. It may take a couple time for your body to completely relax. (This is something new and your body doesn't know what to expect, this is normal)Start with 3-5 minutes a day...that's it. Then after a week or so increase to 10 minutes going thru the different stances. Once you get up to 10 minutes you will notice some differences in how you feel and move.Thanks for the question. Dr Josh **Q: Can you just attach it to some hooks in the door frame ?** A: If the hooks are strong enough and you can manipulate the straps above your head and all is spaced perfectly, I guess that you could. But, the chinning bar is good quality and easy to install if you have door trim on at least one side of the door. However, I found the entire harness worthless to me, as it just slips up into your armpits, hurts badly, and pain negates any benefit you might have gotten. I weigh 250. Maybe if you weigh 150 and have an "Air Force Cadet" physique, it may work for you. I sent mine back and ended up paying freight both directions. Disappointed! **Q: How long are the straps? I am 5'5" and have 8' doors - will this device work with those parameters?** A: It works for me but the important thing is the pull up bar!! The harness will fit no matter what but you have to make sure you have the right pull up bar that'll fit your door. **Q: How to determine size?** A: My boobs are squished, so I really should’ve gotten a large. But chest size is what the package says ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent!

That is what cheating bars do but most people probably do not set about to find a place and they’re home that is strong enough to anchor into wooden stud walls and have it be strong enough. You really need a concrete or block wall to do that correctly. The biggest downer on this product for me though was how incredibly uncomfortable it is to use. You can wrap it around your middle or up around near your armpits. Either way, it slides up very violently into your armpits and really hurts. I did not get around quick enough to return this and get a refund. The refund window had closed by the time I got around to it. Too bad because I knew the very first day that it probably was not going to work for me. In hindsight, I would rig up ratchet straps or a robot cat just long enough to be fastened to the joists or rafter boards of a garage or outbuilding. Then I would have taken some old blankets and wrapped them very quickly around the rope or straps and settled that blanket enclosed rope around my back and under my armpits. It would have been much cheaper and have been much more comfortable to use. I do not know how many this guy has sold but if he has sold very many at all he has made a pretty good fortune at $47 each. I think you can get them now for $35 each but for me two dollars would be too much because I find it useless. I hate to trash this guys business but neither do I want customers like myself out there to throw away $35-$47 of good cash. My recommendation to the inventor is that you go back to the drawing board and come up with something with massively more padding for the under arms, which means you will probably need to go with a padding wrapped rope design instead of a Velcro waist strap. I do understand that this would drastically simplify the design though and probably show potential customers that they can rig something up themselves for free with a rope or ratchet strap and a few old blankets. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sit and Decompress Back Stretcher 3 Minutes A Day Back Traction Back Decompression Inversion Table Alternative Safe For All Back Conditions (XLarge Harness No Bar) - ProsourceFit Heavy Duty Doorway Mount Pull Up/Chin-Up Bar, Adjustable with Foam Grips for Home Workouts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/37873427-sit-and-decompress-back-stretcher-3-minutes-a-day-lumbar](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/37873427-sit-and-decompress-back-stretcher-3-minutes-a-day-lumbar) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
