Used first time, plastic connection snapped and metal bar crashed on my head… installed by directions, pulled the strap held for 10 secs and plastic broke. Now I have a sore neck and a sore head.

Too complicated and not very safe. Or maybe I am too chicken to just drop my entire body and thinking I might brake my neck
Always to remain

Returned due to poor instructions and it felt plasticky.

Very comfortable and easy to assemble. Step by step instructions. Good quality and reasonable price. Works well.

Maybe it's the one I received but the retaining bar that grips to the frame of your door way, let's say, slips off and clobbers you on the head. No matter how much we tighten the grip after a while it can't retain it's hold....sorry had to return.

Here are my personal observations and some tips:1. Be gentle, don't try to tighten too much, a little goes a long way. If you feel discomfort, you're doing something wrong. Less is more.2. Use a comfortable chair with arms, and without wheels. It makes getting up much easier and safer.3. Fitting the head piece takes some practice to get it in the exact right place.4. Attach the bar to a strong doorframe. The bar has tremendous leverage and can create a surprising amount of force. I use my weight to test the bar to make sure that it is not going to come off the doorframe. Once I decide where I am going to permanently place it, I will use the optional screws and bumpers to make assembly easy.Regarding the bar making marks on the doorframe: I use some good quality, 2-inch wide, general purpose masking tape on the area that the bar is to be attached to. The tape keeps the rubber marks off the paint, yet does not make the bar slip. Remove the tape immediately when finished using the traction device.If you forgot the tape and have marks on the frame, then a paste made from baking soda and some water will help gently remove the marks from the paint. It works well even on flat paint.The quality of the device is very good. The sewing and materials are professional. The hanger looks a little like a prototype, but it functions well and is strong, the cover makes it less likely to catch long hair or to cut you. The device is simple enough to assemble and set up. Other traction devices have pulley's and water bags and for me, the simpler the device, the more likely you will be to use it. You can easily adjust the tension of the device. To release, you simply stand up (and arms on the chair helps with that considerably).Recommended.

This device is basically well-made and sturdy. My only problem is that the bar leaves black rings on the door frame. They can be scrubbed off, but eventually the paint will come off. It would be much nicer if the ends were clear or white (non-marring) instead of black. The two little screw-in holders may somewhat minimize the problem, but there are only two and I want to be able to use it in different rooms, so I haven’t used them. I don’t think they do much besides keeping the bar from slipping out of place, which is a safety feature. The tension of the bar keeps it tightly in the doorway. I would prefer that it came with cup-type holders that provide some support and protect from marring. Maybe I can buy some somewhere. With that said, I find the device comfortable and it makes my neck feel better when I use it.

I want to be perfectly clear on this review.First, a herniated disc occured on my lower waist, it caused me have to do PT every week, and I have been suffering for years.Then,benefit from these photos on Amazon, it helped me figure out how to hang the device over the door! Although I am not the most mechanical sort and the device is pretty much assembled. I hang it over the door on my bedroom and used it every day. My disc is not as painful as before after several weeks of intermittent use with15min each time.I know, it is running in the right direction.It seems to be stable with the steel bar, and the head halter is high-quality. The hook so thick and the covering on it is made of leather and foam padding.I found it was not included when I purchased the related products from others. The most important thing is that the stretch strap is elastic that allows your head to be hung comfortably, rather than stiffly hanging.It's definitely worth the money and very reasonable for a home unit. If you want get an awesome cervical traction device, don't waste hundreds of dollars to experiment with cheap, inferior products.(I did it before. How stupid was I, how lucky it is now.)I saw that a girl is excercising with a cervical traction with a water bag on Facebook. It's a joke.Filling the water chamber which hangs from the door was clearly not an exact science.
