dr. michael ho. the hophysio decompression belt has helped back-pain patients throughout north america recapture something that their pain had taken away from their lives -- the joy of an active lifestyle. dr. ho, who else has tested your hophysio belt? >> john, i've tested my belt on many people, from golfers, football players, paramedics gardeners, people who like to walk, people who like to cook, office and factory workers people who drive a lot, and parents with small children. this belt works, and doctors recommend it. >> i think every patient with back pain should be wearing this belt because it not only gives you some core strength and support in your spine, but it also gives you a traction effect which decompresses the discs that we have in our lower back. and this effect is definitely going to give great pain relief for a patient. >> i see this as an adjunct or as a device that assists in reducing the muscle spasm, and i think it's one of the several things that we can do to help our back pain patients. >> the great thing about this belt is that patients with chronic back pain can wear this belt
