1) An apparent reduction of vertical compression forces which decrease force through lower back... anyone riding a cyclo-cross bike, HT mtn bike or road bike on a rough surface can related to LBP when riding these surfaces! The Body Float helps reduce the soreness/stiffness.

2) With a seemingly decreased lower back trauma/stress the muscles of the lumbar spine are not fatigued as quickly allowing for better and prolonged stabilization of the lumbar spine and of the pelvis.

3) Compressive forces d/t intraabdominal pressure increases in conjunction with spinal flexion (being bent over when cycling) are significant factors in the development of lumbar disc delamination (the discs are damaged  and are weakened in other words) and become not only pain generators but also can lead to worse conditions... if we repeatedly cause stress/trauma to our lumbar discs in particular degeneration and potentially herniations can occur causing you decreased time on the bike, significant injury and potentially decreasing your athletic career.
