I would like to provide this testimonial for the Decompression Belt - I have tried to enter it under your "decompression belt" category but am unable to so I thought I'd send it via the "Help Zone" Recently, during an extreme episode of sciatica (I have a herniated disc) I bought a Dr. Ho's Decompression Belt. I was at work and was literally crawling around from counter to counter to get through the morning - I was ready to close my business for the day and go home to bed - something I've never done in 12 years. Just when I couldn't put up with the pain radiating down my leg any more the mailman arrived with my Dr. Ho's Decompression Belt. I put it on and immediately, I don't mean in a matter of minutes, I mean IMMEDIATELY, the pain in my leg was gone - G-O-N-E! I was literally skipping around my store without any sciatica pain whatsoever. In a fraction of a second the Decompression Belt paid for itself! I would not hesitate to recommend this product to anybody with the same condition. I don't know if everyone would have such an immediate response but it’s worth a try if you're thinking about it. After all, if it doesn't work for you - send it back - what do you have to lose? Anne
Your product is wonderful! My husband has had back problems with a lot of pain for three decades. Some of the solutions offered have been: three months in traction in the hospital or surgery. Chiropractors have also been unable to help him.
I purchased your product as a surprise gift for him and thought, “…well there goes more money down the drain!” Immediately upon opening the package, he put it on - twenty minutes later he looked at me and said, “The Pain is gone!” That night he slept for the first time in a long time without taking a pain killer so he could sleep.
Since the he uses your Decompression Belt daily and sometimes twice a day. Not only has it eliminated the pain, it has permitted him to do things he hasn’t been able to do -- like gardening. Bathing the dogs requires a lot of bending and kneeling -- before he didn’t look forward to it because he knew that later he would suffer the consequences. Your belt permits him to do what he wants to do and still have relief.
So, thank you very much for your wonderful product -- it really does what it says it will do. It’s nice to see my husband smiling again!
On January 8, 2010, I started to wear Dr. Ho’s stress belt. Although it has been recommended to wear the belt in 20 to 30 minute intervals, I started to wear the belt twice daily for at least 3 hours in the morning and 3 to 4 hours in the afternoon. I have been suffering from chronic spinal stenosis with very frequent sciatic attacks. In the past ten years I have undergone many different treatments such as physio therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic treatments. I also had 10 laser treatments done. These being highly recommended by Dr. Gifford Jones’ news paper health column. None of these different treatment methods gave me any pain relief.
By wearing the Dr. Ho’s Stress belt I am in charge of my own treatment I am confident, that with this daily regiment, I will conquer my long suffering.

Decompress lower back joints & spinal discs
|
As the HoPhysio Belt inflates with air, it expands vertically, gently stretching and tractioning the lower back. This gentle traction helps decompress the spinal discs.
Decompression helps relieve pressure off pinched nerves, degenerative, herniated, and bulging discs. Relieving the pressure allows degenerative discs to get the water, oxygen, and nutrients it requires for faster healing. It permits herniated and bulging discs to return to their normal position and condition. And reducing the constriction on pinched nerves such as the sciatic nerve helps relieve shooting leg pains. |
In fact, a recent study involving 219 patients with degenerative disc diseases and herniated discs found that of those who completed spinal decompression therapy, 86% showed immediate improvement and resolution of their symptoms. (1)
With the HoPhysio Belt, you don’t need to make appointments and go to expensive clinics. The HoPhysio Belt makes home physio possible and affordable for people with chronic back pain. Now you can decompress your back whether you’re standing, walking, sitting, or lying down.

Lift & keep upper body weight off lower back
Pressure equals pain. Whether it’s work-related, gravity, or simply the weight of your upper body – pressure on your lower back can cause pain. If you could unload some weight off your back, you could have less back pain.
The HoPhysio Decompression Belt is not just a regular support belt. When it is inflated, it increases in height by 4 inches (7.5 cm). Since the Belt cradles the hip and the lower rib cage, it helps lift your upper body, unloading the weight off the lower back and allowing the muscles to relax. In doing so, the Belt helps decrease pressure on your back, stretches tight muscles, and decompresses the discs. Less pressure means less pain.
In fact, it has been demonstrated that the Belt can lift at least 20 lbs off your back. Imagine taking 20 lbs of painful pressure off your back! Imagine the relief!
Stabilizes lower back & improves posture
With aging, regular wear & tear, degenerative and herniated discs, the back can become unstable. Sometimes, the simple act of bending forward can trigger severe back pain and muscle spasms. This occurs because the muscles are working so hard to hold the spine together.
By providing strong support and stabilization for the lower back, the HoPhysio Belt helps prevent this from occurring. The Belt helps hold your mid-section together to help support and stabilize your spine and muscles.
With such support, you will stand taller and straighter, because it helps stop you from slouching. This not only helps improve your posture, but also helps reduces the strain and pain on your back.
Strengthens back and core
Contrary to common belief, wearing the HoPhysio Belt will not weaken your back. In fact, it can actually help strengthen your back and core.
With the HoPhysio Belt, you can get the support and pain relief you need to be active and do the things you’ve always avoided. By being active, you engage your back and abdominal muscles (collectively, your core) which helps keep them strong and healthy.
Stretch & relieve tight lower back muscles
With injuries and misalignments (eg. Herniated or bulging disc, spinal stenosis, scoliosis), the surrounding muscles may automatically contract to help support and protect the area of pain. Over time, these muscle contractions can lead to tight muscles and severe muscle tension. Muscle tension can cause stress on the spine and aggravate lower back pain.
When inflated, the HoPhysio Belt gently pushes down on the hip and up on the lower rib to help stretch the muscles of the lower back. Stretching can help elongate muscles to help reduce stress on the surrounding joints. It can also help increase your range of motion and improve your flexibility to help make daily activities easier
Relieve lower back pain & stiffness
By providing decompression therapy, relieving painful pressure, stabilizing the lower back, improving core strength, and stretching tight muscles, many people have reported getting fast relief from their lower back pain using the HoPhysio Decompression Belt.
