Pulling a single pole helps to restore the spine. People who pull the horizontal bar can play a certain role in the muscles of the neck, arms, waist and back, have a certain effect on patients with lumbar disc herniation, and have little effect on the cervical spine, but they also have some indirect effects.

Patients with cervical spondylosis usually try to reduce the time of playing with their heads down. Hanging single pole has no direct benefit to cervical vertebra, but it has indirect benefit. Hanging the horizontal bar is to exercise the chest muscles and arm muscles.

In the action of hanging the horizontal bar, the chest muscles and arm muscles are mainly exercised, and the neck muscles are rarely used. Hanging the horizontal bar has a certain stretching effect on lumbar disc herniation, because the gravity of the body can stretch the lumbar spine, thus alleviating cervical disc herniation.
