Product Description
The Lynx offers a compact, portable solution for stretching, relaxing and decompressing the body. With ankles secured in the contoured foot supports, pushing firmly with hands on the leverage handles results in a great stretch. The moderate, self-administered traction achieved when using the Lynx helps to realign the spine, increase flexibility in the joints, promote relaxation and improve posture through better alignment. Decompressing the discs helps them to rehydrate for better shock absorption and reduced back pain.
Amazon.com Product Description
Realign your spine and reduce back pain without investing in an expensive inversion table with the Lynx portable back stretcher. A compact, portable solution for stretching, relaxing, and decompressing the body, the Lynx is a breeze to use: simply secure your ankles in the contoured foot supports, apply firm pressure to the leverage handles, and stretch. The self-administered traction--which commonly lengthens the skeleton by 1 to 1-1/2 inches--will help increase the flexibility in your joints, improve your posture through better alignment, and make you feel 10 years younger. The Lynx is notably compact, with a folding frame that collapses to 20 by 3.5 by 11.5 inches--small enough to fit in the trunk of your car with ease. It also comes with a nylon travel bag, making it a breeze to carry. And best of all, the Lynx easily adjusts to fit almost any user. Just slide the shroud to the desired setting and you're set. Made of lightweight aluminum, the Lynx weighs 5.5 pounds and carries a five-year manufacturer warranty.

 Very high quality device November 18, 2008

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.

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.

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!
For those who don't like inversion. March 23, 2009

A long time ago I hurt my back working out.
I was squatting and my foot slipped out from underneath me.
Long story short.....17 years later I still suffer from back pain.
I used to have an inversion table but the feeling of hanging upside down usually made me feel woozy.
I saw the lynx on amazon and decided to give it a shot.
It works very well, you don't get quite as good of a stretch as an inversion table but considering I don't have to strap myself onto a table and swing upside down I'd call it a fair trade off.
All in all it's a sturdy and effective piece of equipment and worth the price I paid for it.
I recommend this for those who suffer from back pain.
It hasn't eliminated my pain but it has helped.
Just don't push down too hard on the handles, I did that and I felt a painful twinge on the right side of my back.
It went away within a few minutes and I've learned to be a little more gentle with the device.
Recommended.

This is an excellent product. My chiropractor was doing disk decompression on a table--these treatments helped, but my hips hurt for several days after. I started using the Lynx (after talking to the chiropractor) and we discontinued the table treatments. The Lynx has really helped my back (along with other exercises and stretches). Easy to use and well made. I will use for years.
