Laying on the floor isn`t stretching your length out anything like a machine that actually exerts a gentle pull but it just might be better than nothing I suppose.

Well ya dont just lay there either 
ya gotta stretch out. Or better yet, stand and stretch out.
Feet should width apart, arms over your head then lean over to one side. Feels awesome!

Yeah, my father is like that too. Alot of folks are. Exercising creates pain, to try and heal pain. The start always sucks!

Sheldon, it is similar to the old Frankenstein Torture Machine. They place a holding strap under my shoulders and then a weird girdle like contraption around my lower waist and across my hips. I lean back against the table and then the table is moved from verticle to horizontal. Then pegs are placed under my arms and the upper strap is tied to the head of the table. The girdle is then attached to the pulling part of the machine.
When I started, I was at 25 pounds, at 10 degrees for 10 minutes. I am now at 89 pounds at 15 degrees for 20 minutes. Also, there is a heating and vibration pad under my back.
Does it work? Oh yeah. If I miss a session, I definately pay for it. Also, when I started, the DR was listed at 100%. I could barely walk ten feet without excruciating pain. Now after two months, the DR is at 75%. I can now walk around the block. It is exhausting, but at least I can now get out without fear of getting hit with the pain that was so bad that I would fall. The doctor told me that he doubts I will ever get under 75%. It looks like I may be disabled. All from a cabinet falling on me.
