Illustration of physical effects from repetitive spine decompression
Decompress the intervertebral disc to reduce chronic lower back pain.
Researchers call it “proof.” They require statistically significant data indicating true reduction of chronic lower back pain. How can a gliding platform achieve such successful outcomes? Read about our clinical trial to see our results. There is a small space in between each vertebra called the intervertebral foramen. This is where the nerve root branches off the spinal cord. When the spinal disc becomes structurally weak, this increases direct pressure against the nerve root.The mVAST platform is designed to “grip and separate” the spine in order to increase the gap between each vertebra. This is how we achieve pain relief. This is how we make the spine functionally stronger. When the spine is gradually decompressed, this creates a central vacuum effect, pulling disc material away from the spinal cord and nerve roots.
Gentle spine decompression combined with active motion
"Over the course of nearly 40 years doing spine rehab, I developed a method that applies gradual, careful, methodical decompression of the spine. mVAST therapy actively applies comfortable traction force along multiple angles, resulting in reduced disc bulge and related pain. A comfortable stretching force is directed and focused at the lowest section of the lumbar spine, as indicated by your specific condition.
The human spine thrives with repetitive decompression forces applied along multiple angles using elastic resistance material. This is the safest, fastest, most long-lasting way to achieve relief from chronic pain caused by spine compression and related muscle distortions.”

What to Look For When Choosing Spine Decompresion
Grip Localization. Our proprietary lumbar belt design concentrates traction force primarily at the spine rather than just around the hips and pelvis. Imagine trying to open a bottle of wine by pulling on the cork with you fingers. Systems that do not utilize a lumbar belt must rely on generalized rather than focused traction.
Friction Multiplier. Our system features a proprietary grooved pad that is affixed inside the lumbar belt. This pad presses in between the spinous process structures of the lumbar vertebrae like the grip of a gear mechanism. This maximizes “grip capacity.” Other belt systems that only wrap around the hips and pelvis attempt to increase grip by just tightening the belt, without the benefit of direct, localized friction. This means reduced comfort for the user, and reduced effective force.
Elastic Resistance Material. Systems that utilize electric motors, no matter how many bells and whistles, sensors, computers, or gauges - all use a non-elastic cable, gears, or pulleys. No matter how fancy or complex the system, it’s still just a form of wench that mechanically applies traction force. The great thing about elastic bungee material is that it maximizes USER COMFORT. This means when traction force is applied, it has a “squishy” elasticity feeling for the user. This increases a comfort effect of GRADUAL, “forgiving” tension.
Multiple Vectors of Force in a Single Visit. In the world of disc herniation, bulge, arthritis, and muscle tension - there are typically multiple irregularities, asymmetries, structures, and spinal levels involved. Unlike high tech, expensive, robotic, electric motor systems - we can apply MULTIPLE vectors of traction in a single session. Disc herniation and bulges are just one piece to the puzzle. There are typically secondary and even tertiary spine lesions, fixations, and adhesions that need to be released to achieve therapeutic value in a single session.
“Passive Traction, combined with functional strength ~ that’s the most effective formula for disc syndrome”
Ultra-gentle, user-friendly passive traction might be your on-ramp to the fastest path to pain relief and disc stability
“SoloTrac is a simple innovative tool - a patented platform that helps comfortably localize spine decompression, right where you need it. No matter what technique is used, this will enhance your results.”

Chronic Spine Pain Improves Faster When Varying Angles of Traction are applied Gently, repetitively, and methodically
Dr. Brown collaborates and offers consultation for doctors on difficult cases. Spine clinicians appreciate the therapeutic benefits of spine decompression.

SoloTrac is the tool.
mVAST is the method.
Multi-Vector Active Spine Traction Clinical Trial Showed Statistically Significant Reduction in Lower Back Pain in 60 volunteers. When combined with chiropractic care, the results are even better.
Applying the right kind of exercise, combined with a moderate opposing force produces localized separation of the lumbar vertebrae. People enjoy a gratifying stretch, concentrated in the lumbar spine. Varying poses can produce a wide variety of angular tension.. SoloTrac is a simple tool that achieves better and faster outcomes. All spine related techniques and therapeutic exercises are more effective when used in combination with mVAST protocols.
Spine trauma and the aging process can lead to functional and structural problems referred to as patho-neuro-biomechanical lesions
SoloTrac is a gliding platform that “grips” the lumbar region and produces decompression force along multiple vectors. Elastic resistance material allows cushioned tension and a gratifying user encounter. It’s a simple, but effective force multiplier. Activation of spine fluid hydraulics, reduction of disc displacement, and tissue adhesions, improves function. This improves lumbar-pelvis balance and reduces muscle spasm. Golgi tendon organ reflex and user apprehension is calmed.
This animation is a general illustration of what happens when a special lumbar belt grips the lumbar region and leg press exertion pushes away. This applies gradual tension to the elastic band anchored to the foot of the table. Varying positions deliver multiple vectors of opposing force traction to the spine. This increases the likelihood of releasing pain-source lesions located in the intervertebral disc, ligament capsules, muscle fascia, nerve tissue, or desiccated endplates.
