Partial Body Suspension With Spinal Traction
A Modern Approach to Lumbar Decompression at Active Rehab Center
At Active Rehab Center, innovation and patient comfort are central to every treatment approach. Under the leadership of Arnold Slominski, PT, the clinic offers advanced partial body suspension with spinal traction, a therapy designed to gently decompress the lumbar spine and relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves.
Arnold has invested significant time researching and refining this method after observing its widespread and successful use throughout Europe. The result is a state of the art solution that delivers the same or better results than aquatic spinal decompression, without the need for a swimming pool.
What Is Partial Body Suspension With Spinal Traction?
This therapy uses specialized equipment to partially suspend the body while applying controlled spinal traction. By reducing the effects of gravity, the lumbar vertebrae are able to separate naturally, allowing compressed discs and surrounding tissues to decompress.
Many patients describe the sensation as feeling as if they are floating in water. Muscles relax, tension decreases, and the spine is placed in an ideal position to heal without strain or discomfort.
Advanced Technology Without a Pool
Unlike traditional aquatic therapy, the equipment used at Active Rehab Center does not require a swimming pool. This innovation allows patients to receive the same therapeutic benefits with far less preparation and greater convenience.
Because there is no need for swimwear, pool access, or extended setup time, patients are able to spend more of their visit actively recovering rather than preparing for treatment.
Key Benefits for Patients
Partial body suspension with spinal traction offers several important advantages:
- Gentle decompression of the lumbar spine
- Reduced pressure on spinal discs and nerves
- Deep muscle relaxation and improved circulation
- A sensation of weightlessness without water immersion
- Faster start to treatment with minimal preparation
- More time focused on recovery during each visit
- Greater comfort for patients with pain or limited mobility
- A more cost effective alternative to pool based therapy
This approach also requires less physical effort from the patient, making it ideal for individuals recovering from injury, managing chronic back pain, or returning to movement after surgery.
Better Recovery Through Convenience and Access
By eliminating the need for a pool, patients benefit from easier scheduling, quicker appointments, and a smoother overall experience. Less preparation means more time spent in effective therapy, which can lead to improved outcomes and more consistent progress.
The simplicity of this treatment also helps patients stay committed to their rehabilitation plan, supporting long term recovery and spinal health.
