No bolsters; the incorporation of leg support while supine

bolsterless NFWhen designing the Kdt Neural-flex it was decided NO cumbersome split-bolster, dual rubber bolsters or ridiculous support-stool would be used. Instead we created a revolutionary configuration incorporating leg-support and attendant pelvic ‘flattening’ into the table…eliminating the need for bolsters. In our testing clinics and now in the field for nearly 8 years this has proven itself to be a very important table attribute. (1); CA’s and doctors don’t need to wrestle the bolsters under the knees before and after every session…and store them when not in use. (2); proper placement, which was always an annoying is no longer a consideration, as is their shifting around and getting the belt caught under one or the other. (3); the patient isn’t required to activate the hip-flexors before or after the treatment to move the bolsters under the legs. The knees stay bent and the table section meets them. Those of us who’ve spent years monkeying with bolsters (and I should know since I designed and developed the DTS dual-bolsters and had to use them for years) the incorporation into the table was nothing short of incredible. The small ½ round bolster can enhance comfort in some patients either placed under the ankles or under the crook of the knee. With the pelvis “affixed” to the table via the flexed-section under the legs a greater participation and control of the traction is assured.
