How Spinal Decompression Works

Spinal Decompression Diagram During your session, you’ll lie comfortably on a specialist decompression table.

The table gently stretches and relaxes your spine in controlled cycles, creating space between the vertebrae.
This helps to:

Take pressure off discs and nerves
Reduce inflammation
Improve healing and recovery
Ease pain and stiffness

Most clients describe it as relaxing — many even fall asleep.
