Manufacturer's Description:
The Anatomotor has a moving top on which the patient glides back and forth just under the normal respiration rate. During this movement, two sets of adjustable-height massage rollers straddle the spine and rhythmically loosen taut muscles. This deep-kneading massage effectively prepares the patient for traction which actually separates the spinal vertebrae.
With the Hill Traction Control Unit, traction is created as the gliding top
pulls against the controlled resistance of the traction unit. Traction force is
regulated between 0 and 200 pounds and can be applied in several different forms
from cervical traction (with the Hill Cervical Device / no pressure on the chin)
to full lumbo-sacral traction using the traction harnesses. Therapists may treat
with constant or intermittent traction.
The Anatomotor is also ideal for applying passive range of motion to arms,
shoulders and legs. Available with optional heat, vibration and unique leg
rollers which massage the calves and thighs to relax muscles and increase
circulation.
The Anatomotor is available in fixed heights from 22" to 32" and a variety of
colors. A one-year warranty covers all parts (see dealer on-site labor
warranty).
