| Anytime you can get two things done at one time, you win. Life is busy. We run until we are so booked that we have relatively little time left to work out, let alone relax and take care of our bodies properly. This device from Brookstone takes care of two issues that can impact your body greatly.
By sitting back on the stretcher, you decompress your spine by expanding the space between your discs. |

Doing the stretching exercises necessary, you may find that you experience fewer back aches and headaches. This is because you are realigning the spine and getting everything back into its proper place.
The motion that is required to utilize the stretcher also incorporates your abdominal muscles. The strength that you will build by performing the motion will improve the tone of your core muscles and also help you improve your overall posture. The chair features soft rolls of foam and rubber that comfortably hold your back and spine while also giving your body the support it needs to thoroughly relax. The head support keeps your neck cushioned so you do not strain sensitive neck muscles while performing exercises.
The Back Stretcher and Ab Trainer features:
• Soft foam rubber rolls to comfortably provide firm support
• Compact design
• Dual function as an ab exerciser and back stretcher
Feedback on this stretcher is strongly in favor of the stretch you actually get from those comfy little rollers. However, although it has been written up as a product that works abs and stretches the back; feedback reveals that it is less than perfect in the ab arena. So, if you want a good back stretch, you’ll be very pleased. If you want rock hard abs, try doing some crunches on a sturdy exercise ball.
