I picked up this Homedics Air Compression Back Stretching Mat (https://amzn.to/3tmsRka ) at Costco for $149.

I wanted to decompress the pressure on my back after a long work day. I normally do a brisk fitness workout after work to stretch. Usually sleeping would decompress some pressure, however it was not enough. I was thinking of getting an inversion table ( https://amzn.to/30OdswI ) to hang from but didn’t have the space to store it, nor did I like hanging upside down.
Here is my quick review after using this for over 7 days every night.
Pros:
- Convienent and easy to use, just plug in, lie down and use.
- Space saving folds in half to store. Light weight.
- 3 levels of intensity
- 4 programs, each last about 15 minutes
- I feel more relaxed after using it.
Cons:
The instruction manual is pretty worthless on how to use other than telling you to plug it in and not use more than 15 minutes at a time.
If you are short (under 5 feet), you need to experiment on where you position your overall body.
The decompressor only has 4 programs, which is simple and pretty much all I need, however it is very repetitive. Of the 4 programs, only 2 was effective for me.
It would have been good if there were heat elements to pre-heat and relax my muscles prior to the decompression motions.
Tips on how to use:
- I either do a brief 10 minute stretching and aerobic workout or a hot shower to relax the muscles prior to using the decompressor. There are no heat elements on the decompressor.
- I started with the lowest in the beginning and worked up to the higher levels over several days. I do only 15 minutes a day. Over a week of use and getting my body used to it, I extended it to 2 program sessions to relax.
- I had to experiment on which position works the best in low intensity mode.
Is it Worth it?
Overall it doesn’t replace a trip to the Chiropractor or skilled massage therapist, but its works for me to relieve a tired back, especially when I can use it every day if I wanted to. It brings good value and definitely worth it for me.
