i BACK MASSAGE ROLLERS Beneath the top pad ot the Anatomotor are two sets of adjustable, semi-pneumatic. back-massage rollers. Spring-cushioned, they straddle the spine and rhythmically massage the muscle structure over a 24" area. The height of each set of rollers is independently controlled to adjust for the kyphotic and lordotic curvatures. The handles allow you to feel and set the most comfortable pressure against the patient and lock into one of the numbered height settings. Cervical/Lumbar Switch The Cervical/Lumbar Switch automatically stops the table-top in the set position at the...

The Effective Interaction of Traction and Massage Using rolling massage with traction reduces the patient’s body friction to the surface of the table top and creates pelvic-tilt, directing greater traction force to a specific area. Massage also relaxes taut muscles which normally resist traction, delivering a more effective treatment in a shorter period of time (approx. 10-12 minutes). Traction Control Unit The traction control unit is designed for comfort, safety and dependability. It applies intermittent or constant traction with adjustable angles of pull from either end of the table....

Lumbo-Sacral Traction Intermittent or constant traction to the low back is easily applied. The traction harness is secured around the crest of the ilium; counter traction under the rib cage. During lumbar traction, the rollers can create a slight flexion of the lumbar spine, helping eliminate lumbar lordosis. A flexion stool can be used to flatten the lumbar curvature. Unilateral traction or rotation under traction may also be achieved. Lumbar Traction (with ankle harnesses) Often used in treating sciatica, traction can be applied to the lumbar region through one or both legs. If desired,...
