If you find the massage knuckles too painful, simply cover with a towel and remove towel or layers as you progress to greater levels of pain relief and as back stiffness is released. Allows precise spinal areas to be stretched and traction can be done sitting or while lying on your back. The traction allows movement between each segment, alleviating pressure on the discs in the back. This helps to relieve nerve pressure from pinched nerves and hern
