are
the original patented invention of
Andrei Mikhailovich Yalovitsyn (invention patent No. 2342966). He was forced to create the Swing by incessant aching pain in the lower back, which brought great suffering and did not allow him to live in peace.
With the help of the simulator, the author managed to achieve complete disappearance of pain and 100% healing of the spine. Read more in the history of the creation of Yalovitsyn's Swing.

Who is the simulator indicated and contraindicated for?
Swings help people with sore spine and joints. They eliminate muscle overload, so blood flow to the soft tissues of the back improves. This has a positive effect on the condition of the vertebrae and intervertebral discs. The posture straightens, the pain stops. Doctors identify the following indications for using the Yalovitsyn simulator:
- osteochondrosis of any form and degree;
- intervertebral hernia;
- muscle spasm;
- scoliosis of the first and second degrees;
- moderate back or spine injuries;
- Bekhterev's disease.
The physical therapy device has received conflicting reviews from doctors. Vertebrologists and traumatologists do not recommend using swings in case of serious pathologies. Careless movements and incorrectly selected exercises often provoke a deterioration in physical condition. Osteopaths and representatives of alternative medicine, on the contrary, claim that the device is effective and completely safe.
The trainer is not suitable for everyone. It cannot be used if the following contraindications are present:
- late stage of glaucoma;
- stroke or pre-stroke condition;
- vertebral sarcoma or lymphosarcoma;
- cataract surgery ;
- postoperative period for 6 months after surgical treatment of vertebral hernia;
- enlarged thyroid gland;
- serious damage to bones, joints and cartilage;
- old age.
Yalovitsyn's swing, when used correctly, will help cope with premature destruction of the vertebrae and prevent the thinning of the intervertebral discs. Exercising on the simulator reduces headaches of vertebral origin. By stretching the vertebrae, pinched nerves are released. As a result, the person is no longer bothered by numbness in the limbs and goosebumps.
The simulator for intervertebral disc protrusions is used extremely carefully, as there is a risk of pinching a nerve.

Lower back pain after weightlifting injury.
Diagnosis: compression fracture of the spine (crushed cartilage disc). I couldn't walk for more than fifteen minutes. He lived by the principle: stand - don’t bend, bend - don’t straighten up.
I learned about the simulator when I was hired at a carpentry workshop. At first I didn’t believe in Yalovitsyn’s Swing. I made up my mind when a doctor I already knew started talking about the operation I was afraid of. The first 10 lessons (2 weeks in time) were very difficult for me. After this I noticed that the pain decreased.
The functions of the musculoskeletal system were restored after 8 months of training.

It took about 2,000 rubles a month for pills, injections and various procedures, and that’s just me, my wife even more... We tried everything and started looking for unconventional methods for treating headaches.
7 years ago, in our city, old people began to fashion a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE! I really wanted to get rid of the torment and look younger. With the light hand of my friends Valery and Lyudmila Pavelev, I decided to train on the Yalovitsyn Swing simulator. After just 3 weeks, the headaches stopped bothering me, and I got rid of the pills completely after 2 months!
I began to feel more energetic! This is the greatest result in recent years of life. I gratefully recommend the simulator to all my friends!

Spinal disease: lumbosalgia, spinal osteochondrosis.
Initially, I was diagnosed with a lumbar hernia. Very strong aching pain in the leg. The five hundred meters to work from the bus stop brought me tears. After that, we went straight to the first aid station, where they gave us an anesthetic and anti-inflammatory injection. After work, the same situation: my husband gave the injection at home.
Doctors treated veins in my legs. It didn’t help me, I had to take sick leave for a month. I went to a boarding house for treatment and had an x-ray done. They suggested a tomography. The price of the tomography turned out to be comparable to the price of the Yalovitsyn Swing, a simulator for self-stretching the spine at home. I have read several books about spinal traction. I decided to buy it.
The first time I turned head down, the blood rushed to my head and I felt my back being pulled. After class, I immediately lay down on the sofa on my back. During her sick leave, she did not leave the exercise machine, working out every 20 minutes. I realized that the cause of the pain lies in the nerves pinched by the discs and in poor blood circulation in the vessels, also pinched by the discs.
I don't need pills anymore. Now, this is my home healer! My husband Vladimir, looking at me, also started practicing, he also likes it. In conclusion, I will say that I coped with my pain MYSELF, thanks to the simulator!
I wish everyone good health!

I am a professional driver with 45 years of experience, a car enthusiast to this day. From the age of 12 he worked on a tractor on a collective farm. Throughout his entire career, he worked tirelessly. The constant sitting position and shaking in the car did their job, my back simply “fell off.”
To treat my back I used traditional methods of treatment: heating, rays, electric currents. I was treated for 15 years. I thought that the pain would never stop.
I have known the developer of Swing Yalovitsyn, Andrei Mikhailovich, for a long time. I also knew his father. He strongly recommended his invention, not only as a prevention, but also as a treatment for my radiculitis.
Over the past five years, I have felt noticeable improvements not only with my back, but also in general. Not only me, but also my wife Galina really likes it. She even noticed how I began to climb the stairs home to the 5th floor without stopping, and with bags. My greatest achievement: driving for two days without stopping overnight. Everyday exercise brought good results! I look ten years younger!

My fingers constantly went numb, especially in my sleep, and I suffered from hypertension. The feeling of weakness and lethargy did not leave. I rubbed my fingers under hot water several times a day. There was constipation and nausea. She associated her condition with the weather and age.
After 4 months of training on the swing, the healing effect began. I sleep more peacefully!
Indications for use
All heavy exercises (using physical therapy exercises) on the Yalovitsyn simulator should be carried out under the supervision of a trainer. It works on the principle of unloading the spine by relieving tension, which makes it possible to treat the following diseases:
- osteochondrosis of any degree, spondylosis;
- scoliosis 1 and 2 degrees;
- Bekhterev's disease;
- phlebeurysm;
- insomnia;
- orthostatic collapse;
- intervertebral hernias and protrusions;
- consequences of spinal injuries;
- numbness of the limbs;
- constipation;
- frequent migraines;
- muscle fatigue.
Features of the structure and assembly of the swing
The simulator is a folding design. For production, high-strength wooden beams and reliable fasteners are used. The design is primitive, but you need to be careful when assembling finished elements. The safety of future use of swings, in which a person is fixed in an upside-down position, depends on this.
The basis of the simulator are oblong bars. The leg clamps are located in the upper part. Shock absorbers and arm fasteners are located at the bottom. The design changes the angle of inclination and moves, adapting to the individual characteristics of a person. The simulator rests on wooden or metal legs, tied at the bottom with a rope to prevent divergence.
The set with the simulator must include instructions with photos. When assembling a swing, you need to follow the manufacturer's recommendations. There are several models of this device. To assemble a classic simulator, you must complete the following steps:
- Unfasten the belt. This will make it possible to separate the stand.
- Place the folded parts of the turntable on the floor. Extend the 2 outer crossbars on the side of one pillow.
- Set the table length. The indicators depend on the person’s height.
- Place 2 parts of the table on top of each other. In this case, the holes in the crossbar must coincide with the holes in the selected row of slats.
- Secure the structure with screws. Additional components are included with the simulator.
- Turn the table upside down with the pillows. Place and finally secure the screws.
- Install the support stand. Place the table on the legs and secure the axle with a pinwheel.
The above diagram will help you assemble the purchased simulator. If you have the skills of a carpenter, you can make a swing with your own hands. To do this, you need wooden beams of different lengths, screws, and durable material to fix the body. In order not to make mistakes in the calculations, you need to use ready-made drawings developed by A. M. Yalovitsyn. The author of the invention took into account the anatomical features of a person and competently designed the device.
Where is it sold and how much does it cost?
Bragg field gymnastics for the spine: a set of exercises to maintain a healthy body.
You can undergo a course of treatment in specially equipped rooms, but over time, the money spent on it will significantly exceed the cost of the simulator itself.
The cost of the device depends on the manufacturer, model and configuration. You can order them on the manufacturer’s official website, through online advertisements, or in medical equipment stores (an unlikely option, they rarely appear there).
If you buy a used device, then its price can start from 7,300 rubles and end in rubles. Everything depends directly on the desired parameters. In the case of a new simulator, the maximum price is rubles. On the official website you can often find promotions and thereby save a little.
You can buy Yalovitsyn's swing either in medical equipment stores (they rarely appear there) or on the official website of the simulator manufacturer.

Wanting to save a lot of money, many who need a simulator ask the question: how to make a Yalovitsyn swing with your own hands? It is worth noting that if you have experience in creating such structures, there will be no problems with creating Yalovitsyn’s swing with your own hands.
First we need tools. You need to take several different diameter screwdrivers, pliers, a hammer, a grinder (plane), and a saw. Next, you should get the materials from which the simulator will actually be made.
Drawing of Yalovitsyn's swing
- Nails, bolts with suitable nuts.
- A durable wooden sheet (dimensions 2700x300 millimeters) will be the main one for the simulator.
- Five meter wooden blocks (for creating supports).
- Cuffs for fixing the limbs.
Using the prepared tools and materials, you will need to make a simulator, focusing on the drawing of Yalovitsyn’s swing attached to the text.
The price of the product directly depends on which model you want to purchase.
At the moment, there are four models of Yalovitsyn’s swing, namely:
- Yalovitsyn’s spine simulator “Solo” - price 9,500 rubles (if you purchase two simulators at once, the price for one is 9,000 rubles).
- Yalovitsyn’s spine simulator “Universal” - price in rubles (if you purchase two simulators at once, the price for one is rubles).
- Yalovitsyn’s spinal simulator “Simple-General” - price in rubles (if you purchase two simulators at once, the price for one is rubles).
- Yalovitsyn’s spine simulator “Combi” - price in rubles (if you purchase two simulators at once, the price for one is rubles).
We recommend purchasing this device on the official website of the manufacturer. First of all, it's safe. Secondly, it is possible to deliver to all cities of the CIS. Thirdly, there are always discounts (up to 32%).
To create Yalovitsyn's swing with your own hands, you can use drawings from the Internet. It’s worth noting right away that creating such a device is quite a difficult job for beginners, so it’s better not to tackle it yourself.
It is especially difficult to make a Yalovitsyn swing with your own hands if you have to make it from metal (skills of several specializations are required here).
If you need to make Yalovitsyn’s swing individually for yourself, then it is better to contact specialists with the prepared drawings. In addition, some companies on the Internet provide the opportunity to create a Yalovitsyn swing individually for the customer, but such a service is not cheap.
Particular attention should also be paid to metal fasteners and connections. Under no circumstances should you save money on them.
Very useful article, I’ll try to make the simulator myself.
Does YALOVITSYNA'S SWING (exercise machine) help with back pain or is it just scamming people out of money?
Sergey Bubnovsky » Spinal hernia is not a death sentence! "
An examination and diagnosis of the general condition by a manual therapist or physical therapist is required.
Possible disc displacement and pinched nerve or herniation
A nutrition and exercise program and a course of therapeutic massage with traction and realignment of the spine are drawn up.
Physiotherapeutic procedures are also prescribed and, if health allows, a sauna and exercise equipment.
Balneotherapy and mud therapy have a good effect
If you carefully read the Bible and the teachings of Christ, you can discover many useful things.
Contraindications to using the simulator
However, experts have divided opinions regarding the use of this device. Qualified doctors do not recommend using the exercise machine for serious illnesses and injuries. After all, one wrong movement or inappropriate exercises can worsen the patient’s condition. Adherents of alternative medicine, including osteopaths, on the contrary, are inclined to think that the device is absolutely safe and very effective. However, the device is not useful for everyone. It is contraindicated for:
- glaucoma (last stage);
- pre-stroke condition and the stroke itself;
- if the cataract has been removed;
- lymphosarcoma;
- condition after removal of a vertebral hernia;
- enlarged thyroid gland;
- serious joint ailments;
- oncological diseases of the spinal column;
- old age.
How to exercise on the simulator?
To use the swing comfortably, a person should wear sportswear and thick socks. It's best to exercise before bed. After classes, you need to be in a lying position for at least 2 hours straight. Rest is necessary to consolidate the effect of the exercises done on the Yalovitsyn swing.
Exercises on the simulator are static in nature. This means that they are performed automatically. Many people are interested in how to use a swing for severe back pain. To do this, you need to assemble the device according to the instructions and place a stool under the edge of the table with 2 pillows.
Next, you need to carefully sit on a wooden surface, secure your legs and head with clamps, and use your hands to adjust the most comfortable angle of inclination. The head should be down and the legs up. To stretch the spine, you need to stay in this position for 10 to 20 minutes.
While hanging, it is recommended to rub your forehead, ears and cheeks. This prevents poor circulation due to unnatural body position. When changing the angle of inclination, only the arms are tensed, the back should be completely relaxed. If severe sharp pain occurs, you should stop using the exercise machine and consult a traumatologist or vertebrologist as soon as possible.
Advantages of the Yalovitsyn apparatus
The advantage of this simulator is that in addition to its direct purpose: treatment and prevention of serious diseases of the spine, the device has a number of advantages compared to other orthopedic designs. They are as follows:
- regular training on the simulator improves the patient’s general health;
- this swing is completely hypoallergenic as it is made from natural materials;
- very easy to use;
- the effect of the exercises was noticed after two weeks;
- when assembled it is quite compact;
- loads can be adjusted;
- low cost of the device compared to other orthopedic simulators.

My story of treatment for a herniated disc.
I thought for a long time whether to write this review or not. But, reading the Internet, I saw how many people are faced with a terrible choice when problems with the spine begin. I also had the problem of choosing an operation. But everything worked out. Now I want to confidently say, do not believe doctors who insist on surgery.
My mother found me on the Internet a method for treating the spine of Andrei Yalovitsyn. I started doing gymnastics at home using his method. It’s very simple – stretching under your own weight and a set of exercises, at home.
To this technique I added pouring cold water over the lower back using the Bubnovsky method.
A person can help himself like no one else.
Positive: 49 (87.5%). Negative: 3 (5.36%). Neutral: 4 (7.14%).

Intervertebral hernia 9mm. The operation was not successful. Couldn't walk on his own. I am apparently one of the first users of “YALOVITSINA SWING”. Moreover, I made the first copy myself, having observed the design in one of the private clinics. Subsequently I purchased a serial one.
Hello, Andrey Mikhailovich!
I bought the Yalovitsyn Swing exercise machine for myself and my aunt (Zemlyanukhina Natalya Pavlovna - editor's note). She will post her grateful review on the website. I’ll answer for myself that I’ve been studying for three months. I am 49 years old. My back and leg hurt a lot (the sciatic nerve was pinched), it was painful to walk, and the feeling in my leg began to disappear.
Age 43
I learned all this in 2011, when I was in terrible pain and could not stand, lie down, or sleep. After the usual drug treatment, I surfed the Internet and came across Yalovitsyn’s swing simulator. I decided to try it and I don’t regret it at all.

Excellent result. There is a wish to improve the design of fastening the legs and head; you need to use different accessories, such as carabiners or sliders.
Therapeutic effect
The device helps relieve heaviness from the spinal column by alternating axial load, which significantly improves blood circulation in the soft tissues of the back. Tense and sore muscles compress blood vessels and thereby impair blood flow. But through the use of a simulator, this problem is easily eliminated, which significantly affects a person’s well-being and improves his posture.
Yalovitsyn's swing increases the distance between the vertebrae and improves the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid.
Exercises using the device promote better gas removal and passage of food through the gastrointestinal tract.
There are cases that users complain about the lack of effect, but this is not the fault of the device itself. Most likely, the people complaining used them to combat diseases that are not listed in the list, or used them incorrectly.
Using a swing significantly saves time on visiting sports clubs, money on buying medications and gym memberships, and also helps to completely stop taking medications.
Simulator device
Yalovitsyn's swing is a folding structure for fixing a person in an upside-down position (simplified description). The design of the device itself is quite primitive, although it consists of many individual elements.
The basis of the simulator is oblong bars, on which the patient lies with his body during the procedure. At the top of the machine there are leg clamps, and at the bottom there are hand clamps and shock absorbers.
The supporting structure of the device can move and change the angle of inclination, so in theory, such a simulator is suitable for any patient, since each person can customize it for themselves. The support of the simulator is made of wooden or metal legs of small thickness, tied with ropes at the bottom to prevent the legs from diverging to the sides.
The device is made from durable wooden blocks that cannot be deformed. This is quite obvious, since the device uses thin bars and, if they are weak, the entire device will collapse under the weight of the patient.
The standard (classic) Yalovitsyn swing is intended exclusively for adults, but children's models are also available for sale.
Yalovitsyn swings are used to treat various diseases of the spinal column. The therapeutic effect is ensured by significantly reducing the load on the spine and muscular back corset.
By eliminating muscle overload, it is possible to improve the blood supply to the soft tissues of the back. And this is not surprising, since muscles spasmed due to overload compress small vessels and prevent normal blood flow.
Reducing the load on the spine allows you to stabilize its position, straighten your posture and literally “put” the vertebrae in place. This is most useful for degenerative diseases of the spine.
In general, Yalovitsyn swings are used for the following pathologies of the musculoskeletal system:
- Any forms and degrees of osteochondrosis.
- Scoliosis of the first and second degrees.
- Ankylosing spondylitis (only under medical supervision!).
- Herniated intervertebral discs.
- Consequences of moderate injuries to the spinal column or soft tissues of the back.
- Muscle strain.
It is worth noting that Yalovitsyn’s swing has not only positive, but also negative reviews on the Internet (they account for 40% of all reviews). In most cases, negative ratings are given to the device for the reason that it does not treat a specific disease, but only temporarily reduces the severity of symptoms.
In order to understand why and how Yalovitsyn’s swings work, you need to understand that they are intended for the treatment of degenerative-inflammatory diseases of the spine. Such diseases occur with impaired utilization of inflammatory products or degeneration of bone or cartilage tissue.
Training on the Yalovitsyn simulator can significantly increase the outflow of inflammatory products (including lymphocytes) and improve blood circulation in the soft tissues of the back. But how does this happen?
The simplest explanation is mechanical. When turning on the simulator and taking a vertical position upside down, the pressure on the valves of the lymph nodes increases. As a result, under greater pressure, the outflow of lymph increases, while the same thing happens in the vessels, causing blood to rush into the soft tissues faster.
In addition, if we are talking about the circulatory system, then increased blood flow is also ensured by relaxing the muscles, which spasm the blood vessels and reduce capillary blood flow by 30-40%.
Also, with a constant change in body position on the Yalovitsyn swing, a gradual change in the axial load on the spinal column occurs. As a result, the spine experiences a dynamic load, which is so lacking in any person in the 21st century (the 21st century is the century of a static body position).
How to build a swing with your own hands, and is it worth it?
You can make the device yourself. But a non-professional will not be able to make a Yalovitsyn swing with his own hands. Firstly, you need to be able to work with both metal and wood. This is especially important when the assembly of the most complex structure – metal – is expected. Secondly, the skill of processing the hardest types of wood is important. The wood needs to be strong and not deformable.
The swing bars are not wide, and a non-specialist risks making a fragile installation that can cause injury. When making your own, it is extremely important not to skimp on either wood or metal. Fasteners and connectors play an important role in the stability of the entire structure.
If you need a non-standard development of a home exercise machine for the spine, then it is preferable to send your drawing to a special workshop. They will make the device according to all the rules, but it will not be cheap.
Causes of edema and spinal diseases
So, let's look deeper and figure out where the swelling itself comes from. If there was an injury or bruise, then the cell membranes of the tissues were damaged and the damaged cells began to die. To clean up the remains of dead cells, the immune system sends leukocytes through the bloodstream, as well as substances necessary for tissue regeneration, that is, the division and nutrition of healthy cells.
The removal of the remains of destroyed cells, as well as bacteria and other “garbage” occurs through the vessels of the lymphatic system, the throughput of which is small, and therefore stagnation and swelling occurs, and then, possibly, inflammation. But in the vessels of the lymphatic system there are valves that can open under mechanical influence, so when you press on the vessel, you can push the lymph from thin vessels towards larger ones, where it is cleansed and finally enters the circulatory system.

The effect of lymphatic drainage is based on this. A high-quality massage can speed up the outflow of lymph and reduce swelling, which of course has a healing effect.
Set of exercises
The main example of how the structure works is standard spinal traction. Only static stretching tasks are assumed.
There are no specific instructions for use, for example, for hernia. It is important to secure the limbs or upper/lower body with cuffs and straps. Next, the inclination level is selected.
It is unacceptable to perform such exercise therapy complex tasks on the device as:
Important! Such experiments can result in injury or failure of the complex.
