Neck feels good. I don’t feel anything in my arms or legs now either.

I hang with my arms from a pull up bar when my back hurts and the traction helps.

Lol...but I would actually like to have one of these right now for my aching neck!
I did some physical therapy on my neck awhile back, traction machine is where it is. After all said and done I was atleast an inch taller ( no joke) and felt great! I haven't pulled the trigger yet but they make home units for a few hundred, I'm really considering it

So, do you think this "traction machine" would work on other muscles? Asking for a friend.

Couldn’t you make one with the climbing gear you have? Just don’t hang yourself!

Just make sure to use the proper knot.

The wraps worked to give mechanical advantage. To little wrap would decapitate, to many they die of strangulation....interesting read if ever bored learning the science of the noose.

It actually is pretty cool to read about

Being a good hangman was an actual skill back in the day
