About the Nubax® Trio
The human spine is continuously under pressure. While stretching your back from side to side may provide you with some pain relief, it does not help to release the disc pressure, which is a common source of chronic back pain. An increase in spinal disc pressure, along with everyday activities of life, can accelerate chronic back conditions.
After almost a decade of research and development, the Nubax® Trio which is listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods, has established itself as one of the safest, most beneficial home traction devices available to the general public. Users can relieve back pain and realise the rejuvenating benefits of regular and correctly applied traction, made possible by the uniqueness, simplicity and portability of the Nubax® Trio.
How to adjust and use the Nubax® Trio equipment
How the spine works
Intervertebral discs, the 'shock absorbers' of the spine contain water and molecules of a 'gel like' consistency called glycosaminoglycans ('GAG') within them. The GAGs have the property of absorbing water when under pressure, and expelling it when pressure is relieved.
Causes of back suffering
The main causes of back suffering are immobilisation, injury, old age and lack of use. These can lead to a gradual decrease in our glycosaminoglycans, which lead to a loss in water content. If daily wear & tear become greater than the recuperative abilities of our spinal maintenance system, our backs feel progressively older and more stiff.
The Nubax® Trio provides traction therapy which can be effective in:
- Occupational Health

How the Nubax® Trio works
The Nubax® Trio works on one principle - leverage. The user’s body is suspended over a common pivot point. Being secured symmetrically at the hips and shoulders, a stretch is created in the spine as gravity slowly forces the waist and the shoulders apart. Experts agree that water between the collagen fibrils serves as a form cellular transport, which is critical to the body's natural healing. This fluid also allows for greater extensibility in your back.
When using the Nubax® Trio, it is important to note a few key points:
- Find a comfortable position and relax once in the Nubax® Trio system. The device works by utilizing the lever principle and the users own bodyweight.
- Breathing in and out slowly will allow your back muscles to relax which provides a more effective traction force
- You will gain the most benefit from using the Nubax® Trio for 2-3 minutes, 2-3 times a day. The device can be used safely more frequently if you wish.
- Don’t worry if you feel some minor discomfort during initial use. However, if you feel any pain during or after use, stop using the device immediately and contact Nubax®.
- You can safely remove yourself from the device at any time. To do this, place one hand on the floor to support your bodyweight, shuffling your knees forward one knee at a time. This will change your centre of gravity, allowing you to easily remove yourself from the unit.
