INSTRUCTIONS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES BEFORE TRAINING SESSION BEGINS.
Proper Set-up Recap:
1. Grasp the two hand pumps, squeeze each pump separately to confirm which one operates lowest air cell and
inflate lowest air cell first to a firm comfortable level, never to the point of pain. (Usually 1-9 complete pumps)
2. Inflate upper air cell to an equally comfortable level. (Usually 1-9 complete pumps)
3. Squeeze both pumps at the same time. (Usually 1-5 more pumps)
Note: To release air cells simply push down air release button on hand pumps.

With heels pushed out and up and legs extended, Back-Unit has
now slid below buttocks, lifting buttocks up and off the ground.
Foot-Unit will also be lifted about 1 inch off the ground.
NOTE:
• Final adjustments to belts may need to change if heel thickness of shoes changes. Always wear shoes!
• Use Penta Vec® Model 2500 on a comfortable firm surface.
• For the more sensitive low back person, we recommend using Penta Vec® on your bed/mattress when first starting.
• Use Penta Vec® to hydrate the discs daily or as recommended by your health care professional. Even a 3-5 minute workout is beneficial.
• Consult your health care professional before beginning any exercise program.
4. With your knees bent and feet firmly on the ground (A), rock pelvis up and back toward belly button using your abdominal muscles to
lift buttocks (B). Then rock downward using back muscles and allow lower back to gently stretch over air cells, lowering buttocks to floor (C).
Gently rock back and forth 3-5 times or more.
(See photos A, B, and C)
Never rock Back-Unit with Neck-Unit inflated (if so equipped).

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).
9.
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
g.
• 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.

Foot-Unit Belt
The further apart Back and Foot-Unit are from each other the less the pelvic pull; the closer they are together the tighter the pull.
a) To decrease pull:
Open buckle flap completely and pull Foot-Unit away from Back-Unit. Lock buckle completely.
b) To increase pull: Open buckle flap completely, grasp Foot-Unit and pull/slide buckle toward Back-Unit. Lock buckle completely.
3. Tuck excess pelvic belt into right hip pad if desired.
Note: If belt connections are protruding from Back-Unit opening,
simply pull right and left sides of pelvic belt away from each
other before making adjustments.
Adjusting the pelvic pull
Pelvic Belt
1. The pelvic belt is adjusted slightly loose around the pelvis, below the waist and belly button. This belt should not be tight when fastened!
2. After pelvic belt adjustment, the buckle may be off center. Center buckle by pulling
the buckle toward the center. Slide hip pads along belt to make room if necessary. If
pelvic belt becomes twisted also use this maneuver to untwist by pulling the belt all the
way to the right and all the way to the left (several times) until belt becomes untwisted.
