At least I can use the parts for something else Jan 18, 2008
By Ronald King As a traction device, this thing is worse than worthless. It's uncomfortable, difficult to use, and at least for me, had zero effect. I didn't have high hopes when I bought it, but I didn't think that I would only have a half-inch of velcro trying to hold the thing together on my head. I didn't think that moving the slightest amount would cause something on it to come unhooked almost every time. I didn't think that it would require such a ridiculous balancing act of trying to keep enough tension on the sling so it doesn't pop off the crossbar while trying to lower the weight. I didn't think the rope would be so slick as to have to double-knot it to keep it from slipping.
The only reason I can give it any stars at all is because at least the pullies and door-hanger are mildly useful for other purposes.

Not a doctor... Dec 02, 2008
By Danno I had one of these for several years, the harness finally fell apart and the water bag tore at the opening so I had to replace it.
The unit I received had short hook & loop strips that caused me to be choked by the harness. I had some dual sided hook & loop strips and cut lengths to extend the manufacturers straps. That problem was solved.
My doctor told me, when prescribing the first unit, to use as much weight as I felt comfortable using. I fill the bag to the full 20 pound amount. I was also instructed to make sure I sat for at least 20 minutes when performing traction as it takes that long for the muscles to relax and the traction to really do any good. As with any medical device (regardless of how benign it might seem) be careful, you don't want to make things worse.

Oldie but a Goodie Aug 09, 2007
By Linda Dodrill This contraption has been around since before my grandpa's time, and I was sure glad to find out they still exist! When using the traction device, gently stretch before and afterwards, sit or stand up straight, breathe slowly and DEEPLY, and read a book to pass the time!

Utterly Useless Oct 14, 2008
By Helen C. Winn I have used several Traction Devices over the past ten years, but this Mickey Mouse Kit isn't anywhere near "as advertised". I feel very ripped off.

Waste of money Jan 13, 2009
By C. Turner I wish I could say more. It was just a waste of money for us and did not work at all.
