How it works

Inside a intersegmental distraction session.

01

Lie back and relax

You lie face-up on the padded table, no belts or restraints needed.

02

Rollers travel your spine

The rollers move slowly up and down the length of your spine, gently mobilizing each segment.

03

Boost tissue circulation

Mobilization drives fresh blood into the spinal muscles and discs.

04

Prep for the next step

Most patients use it as a warm-up before adjustments or as a cool-down after.
