“I don't mean in a matter of minutes, I mean IMMEDIATELY, the pain in my leg was gone - G-O-N-E!”
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

“Today for the first time this year I was able to complete 9 holes with no discomfort at all.”
I am 79 yrs old and have always enjoyed playing golf. I am not great at it but I do enjoy it. About 5 years ago I had to start limiting myself to nine holes because of back pain, this year I have had to rest after every 3 or 4 holes because of pain but about a month ago my wife purchased your pain relief therapy and I have been giving myself 30 min. treatments each day since and today for the first time this year I was able to complete 9 holes with no discomfort at all.

Dr Ho, first let me thank you for your decompression belt, i have severe chronic back pain for almost 3years to the point that i have been unable to work or do any of my favorite hobbies, GOLF, OCEAN FISHINGS, YARD WORK ECT. The pain and use of extreme pain killers have made life very difficult. Now comes the good part ordered your belt and the first day of use following the instruction relief has finally come. This is after a 12 week pain management program, many MRI'S, spinal blocks and way to much medication. I have had the belt for 3 days and now able walk up to 3/4 of a mile, i am looking foward to increased abiliy to regain my over all body condition as a result of the decompression belt. THANKS AGAIN DR.HO I HAVE MY LIFE BACK. KEVIN KOSTIELNEY. PS PLEASE SHARE WITH OTHERS!!!!!!

Decompression Back Belt
Directions For Use
Please note before use
Belt must be right size to be effective. If you do not experience relief while using the belt, please measure your waistline to ensure that your belt size is correct. To measure your waist line, suck in your stomach and hold the tape tightly against your bare skin, at the level of your belly button, for accuracy. Check your actual waist measurement against the size label on the box.
- Belt must be worn over a layer of light clothing.
- Belt must be fully deflated before you put it on. Deflate by turning metal valve counterclockwise.
- Suck your stomach in while putting belt on. Belt must be put on your waist very tightly to work properly. Use extension piece if needed.
- Put the belt on your waist and inflate it while standing for best results.
- For the first week, it is recommended you wear the belt 3-4 times a day for 30 minutes each time. This will help train your muscles and spine to adapt to the effects of traction. After the first week, it is recommended you wear the belt at least 30 minutes a day to experience relief, but the belt can be worn for as long as needed.
- For faster and better relief, lay on your back with the belt on and elevate your legs with a couple of pillows. If back pain is disturbing your sleep, try sleeping with the belt on.
How to use the HoPhysio Decompresion Belt
- While standing, place the fully deflated belt around your waist. The bottom of the belt should be cradling the top of your pelvic crest (hip). Suck in your stomach and pull the two ends tightly together with the Velcro strap. It must fit tightly to work properly. The HoPhysio logo should be positioned midline directly in front of you. Use the extension piece provided if you have trouble closing the belt tightly around your waist.
- Close the metal air valve on the belt by turning it clockwise.
- Clip the air pump nozzle onto the metal air valve on the belt. Use both hands to push the air pump nozzle and the metal air valve together tightly to prevent air leakage while pumping up the belt. If you hear the sound of air leaking from the valve on the belt, it means that you’re not pushing the nozzle and the metal valve together properly, or the valve is not fully closed.
- Pump the foot pump while standing up. Push all the way down and lift your foot off completely for each stroke. If you have trouble balancing on one foot while pumping, lean up against a wall for support or have someone else help you pump up the belt.
- Keep pumping up the belt until it is fully inflated. When the belt is fully inflated, you will hear the air being released from the safety air release valve on the foot pump. When fully inflated, the belt will stop getting bigger.
- When fully inflated, remove the nozzle from the belt and enjoy. After using the belt for at least 30 minutes, or as long as you desire, deflate the belt by turning the metal air valve counterclockwise to release the air. Pull the Velcro straps apart and feel the relief!
Important Precautions
- If you have a herniated disc, be sure to inflate the belt slowly to apply gentle and even traction.
- In the first week, use the belt for 20 to 30 minutes each time, 3 to 4 times per day. As you feel better in the second week, and thereafter, you can use the belt for a longer period of time or as you need it.
- If you experience any discomfort or pain after using the belt, it could indicate that your back muscles are very tight and you should stretch your back slowly and gradually to allow the tight muscles to accommodate. If pain persists, consult with your doctor before resuming usage of the belt.
Contraindications
- If you suffer from any of the below conditions, please consult your medical practitioner prior to using the belt:
- Patients with lumbar spine damage, acute lumbar injuries, spinal fractures, rib fractures, pelvic fractures, and severe osteoporosis.
- Patients with serious cardiovascular or respiratory diseases.
- Pregnant women and children should not use this device.
- As with any new product, supplement, or exercise, always consults your media practitioner.
