The DEX • decompression & extensionTM provides all of the benefits of inversion while holding the user in the 90/90 position, which is the optimum position for decompression. From this position, the user is in a body position relevant to gravity that maximizes muscle performance during back extensions while helping to prevent hyperextension.
Unlike any other
Improving upon the traditional roman chair, the unique design actually reduces the load on the hamstrings by placing the knees in the relaxed 90° position, rather than forcing less-effective, straight-legged exercises. (Read this PDF file to learn more.)
Effective results for any user
Whether inverting for a relaxing decompressive stretch or actively exercising to strengthen the lower back and abs, users can comfortably achieve a variety of benefits with the DEX.

Exercises
The DEX • decompression & extensionTM allows users to rotate forward in a bent knee / bent hip position, which decompresses the hip joint and spinal column and provides a comfortable platform for stretching and exercise.
Full inversion
Rotate into a fully inverted position for decompression and relaxation. Compared to similar equipment, the DEX reduces the load on the hamstrings by placing knees in the relaxed 90 position, rather than straight. (Read this PDF file to learn more.)
Add traction, using the unique Traction Handles for leverage, to achieve increased decompression to your lower back.
Move and stretch, using the handles and frame for leverage, to improve flexibility and promote healthy joints.
Perform back extensions to strengthen the lower back muscles. This unit places users in a body position relevant to gravity that maximizes muscle performance while tempering the risk of hyperextension.
Perform rotational back extensions to strengthen the obliques.
Crunches help build core strength and can be performed on this unit with virtually no loads on the back.
