Y Strap Therapy
Get to Know The Y Strap
This stretching tool allows spine stretching by supporting the sub-occipital region of the spine to DECOMPRESS the cervical, dorsal, and lumbar parts of the spine
The MAIN GOAL is to stretch the spine, relax the muscles, increase the intervertebral foramina gap, and reduce the pressure on the nerves
The advantage of using the Y Strap for adjustments is that the adjustment is done on the Y-Axis, whereas full-body chiropractic adjustments can take place on the X, Y, or Z axes of the body
By focusing on the Y-Axis, it removes the rotation element of the adjustment, and thus for some patients a straight traction decompression can be preferable
