stress reduction
Everyone is talking about stress reduction. Many of our lives have become hectic causing our bodies a lot of stress. How can we reduce some of this stress? One way is by arching the back. Some studies have even suggested that this effect can reduce stress on the lower back by 50%. In the process it provides mild, passive exercise of the ligaments, tendons and musculature that surround the abdominal cavity. As a result it permits a better supply of blood to flow to all parts of the body, by utilizing the pull of gravity in different directions from those we experience in a normal upright position.BodyBridge
We call lying passively on the BodyBridge, "unexercising". That is, you do nothing except relax and allow gravity to gently decompress the spine. This natural method is effective for quieting both the mind and the body. People have told us they play music or use environmental sounds in the background while unexercising on the BodyBridge. Using it directly before bedtime also is an effective way to get a sound sleep.The BodyBridge is a curved topped passive traction table which decompresses the spine. Each disk can gently separate through passive traction. Once decompression takes place, pressure is taken off the muscle groups in the low, mid and upper back. Another recommendation by experts is a daily routine of meditation or relaxation.
