Hi,

When I was diagnosed with lumbar spondylosis (1997), part of my physio was using a stretch machine.  I used it only once - I was worse after than I was before.

In a recent appointment with the surgery physiotherapist, he said they`ve since been banned.  The one I was subjected to (yes, subjected) was like the old torture gadget where they strapped you down and turned you into a 7 footer from a 5 footer (slight exaggeration ).

I`ve just looked at your link; I would be inclined to discuss the items therein with a medical professional.  Having said that, I think there is an ex-physiotherapist on here who may be able to help.
