5. Then with both feet in the Foot-Unit and knees bent slightly (see 5A), gently and gradually straighten legs pushing with your heels against the Foot-Unit (see 5B). The Back-Unit will now slide down from your lower back toward your pelvis and buttocks (usually 1-4 inches). Hold this position for approximately 30 to 60 seconds; then relax your legs and slide forward so Back-Unit is again under the small of your back and gently

rock forward (see 5C) and back.(see 5D)

NOTE: Now is the time to make ﬁnal adjustments to the pelvic and foot belts.

Ta ke care to adjust the belts so that you feel a gradual, comfortable pull.

NEVER operate unit with foot belt adjusted so short that legs cannot

easily straighten or waist belt worn so tight that it causes pain!

6. Repeat step 5 several times with Back-Unit inﬂated to a comfortable level or deﬂate air cells

by pushing down on both air release buttons at the same time and repeat steps 1-5 as desired.

7. On your last repetition extend Foot-Unit and hold for up to 8 minutes maximum. (see 7A) Gradually work up to this 8 minute goal over several training sessions, never extend legs for more than 1 minute in initial training session!

8. Relax your legs and slide forward so Back-Unit is again under the small of your back.

Gently rock forward, back and forward a few times. (see above pics 5C, 5D, 5C).

Deﬂate both air cells approximately half way. Release Pelvic Belt from waist and remove feet from Foot-Unit. Move the Back-Unit toward mid and upper back - position 3 (see 9A) and gently stretch arms over head (see 9B) to decompress the middle and upper back. Perform this movement several times as you slide and roll over Back-Unit. Gently roll off exerciser and onto your left or right side slowly and carefully before risin

• Gradually increase your air cell inﬂation as comfort permits.

• Use Penta Vec

to hydrate the discs daily or as recommended by your health care professional. Even a 3-5 minute workout is beneﬁcial.

* Placing a cold gel pack over one of the air cells, usually the lowest pouch, is recommended to speed recovery from stiffness and discomfort. Cover gel pack with cloth; never place gel pack directly against skin! Chronic stiffness and discomfort may take several days to adequately subside. If discomfort persists consult your health care professional.

**Just like performing any new exercise, an aggressive workout with Posture Pump

equipment can temporarily make you sore. To reduce this occurrence, inﬂate the exerciser at lower levels, and keep your workouts under 10 minutes for the ﬁrst two weeks. This will allow your body to gradually adapt to a more aggressive workout.
