Manual therapy is great, but let’s be honest—doing manual traction, especially long-axis distraction or thrust manipulation on the hip, can be exhausting for your grip and your back.
If you’re trying to generate enough force to make a change but you're sliding off the ankle or burning out your forearms, you aren't being efficient.
My colleague, Dr. Jeffrey Redenius, invented a simple solution for this: The TR-Action Assist.
I gave it a run in the clinic with Chris (who was pretty stiff), and here’s why I’m digging it:
✅ Simple Setup: Velcro strap, D-ring, done. Takes 5 seconds. ✅ Better Leverage: The handle allows you to lean back and use your body weight, not just your grip strength. ✅ Versatility: Great for gentle oscillations, circumduction, OR high-velocity thrust distractions.
