Before using
the Lumbar Extender, please read and follow these simple guidelines
to maximize the
benefits.
Caution:
As with every fitness program, consult your physican before
using the Lumbar Extender, especially if you have pre-existing
back or neck injuries or conditions.
* No person
should use the Lumbar Extender without first consulting a
qualified physician.
• Use
the Lumbar Extender only for its intended purpose.
• Always use the Lumbar Extender on a level, non-slip surface. A secured
mat, rug or carpet should
• be used. Familiarize yourself with the pictures
on the User Instructions page showing the different
• positions
you may want to do.
• Observe the following recommendations for time use and level of arch
adjustment.
• Select your favorite position to use the Lumbar Extender.
• Perform a five-minute stretch per session in your desired position.
Two sessions a day are
• recommended, although you may enjoy using the
Lumbar Extender even
three times a day.
• If you find it difficult to stretch for five minutes, stop.
Do only what you are comfortable with and
• slowly work up to five minutes.
• If you experience discomfort in the beginning, it is usually just an
indication of the amount of
• tension and tightness in
your back and should subside in time.
If you have any doubts, please
• discontinue
using the Lumbar Extender and check with your physician.
• Pay special attention to your daily progress. Individual results
may vary. Some users experience
• immediate relief and noticeable benefits,
while others
may take several weeks.
Caution: Should
you experience any irregular physical condition, such as
questionable muscle or joint pain, stop stretching
and consult your
physician.
•
Regardless of your physical condition, begin at the Level
1 arch adjustment.
• As your flexibility and posture improve, you may want
to experiment with the Level 2 and 3 arch
• adjustment, although
it is not necessary.
The Level 3 arch adjustment
is designed for advanced
• users
or yoga practitioners only.
• Relax. One of the keys to a good tension relieving stretch
is relaxation. Take a deep breath,
• exhale gently, and let
your body weight work
together with gravity.
You will achieve a greater
• stretch and arrive at a more relaxed
state sooner. Relax as much as possible when using your
• Lumbar
Extender. It will become easier
to do with regular use.
• Always use the Lumbar Extender with the narrow end positioned
toward your head and the wide
• end positioned toward your buttocks.
