wondering if traction for back is advised while on ADT

[TuffNuttoCrack]

my nutty question, I have a back stretcher and it will pull vertebrae apart. U can do same by lying flat on a table gradually pulling yourself forward till abdomen and chest are perpendicular to floor and arms touching. Try at your own risk. I am not a doctor just an orthopedic nightmare with hundreds of hours of PT, just a TuffNuttoCrack

would like to see some educated responses to this, as my husband often does some tractioning. He’s been on ADT for 10 years, post initial radiation. I’m always fearful of an injury since he is 77…retired chiropractor.

Thanks for piggy backing on one hand we are told bones become brittle so are we harming ourselves!

Have you had a bone density scan? That might tell you if it is safe.

[TuffNuttoCrack in reply to gsun]

Yes great idea. It’s been a while almost a year ago. Thanks

Lying flat on a table gradually pulling yourself forward till abdomen and chest are on top of her...... the rest is up to your imagination.

John you add plenty of color to any post, there are many women who love their men who do wish their husband would be up for it, in other words have a normal sex life. It sucks!

Amen Brother. You are preaching to choir.........

You might try arm swinging (ping shui) or swimming as these are both low impact but help to stretch out the spine
