Relieve back discomfort due to tight muscles
and the loss of lumber curve
Dear BackMagic Flex Customer
Congratulations. You have just purchased one of the most brilliant and yet easy to use solutions for tightness and
tension.
We all spend way too much time sitting which negatively alters our posture by flattening our lower back and
neck curves. This inevitably causes stiffness and tightness of the postural muscles that are attached to our spine.
BackMagic Flex is an affordable and portable device that can easily help to alleviate this problem.
Use your BackMagic Flex daily, lie on it regularly, up to 5 minutes, twice a day and watch your spine become
more flexible and your posture transform.
As you know I am passionate about attaining and maintaining good posture and for more tips and ideas on this
subject please visit my website at http://LighterLiving.com.
Wishing you a healthier and happier year.

If you’re using BackMagic Flex for the first time, it is recommended that you use the foam side of the
flexible arch until you are completely familiar with the stretching action, before trying the side with
the massage points. Also, the first time you use the side with the massage points, cover with a towel
for increased comfort.
ReMeMBeR: Begin your BackMagic Flex program with the flexible arch in the Level 1 position.
Get Ready
Sit with your back to the arch. Slowly lie back onto the flexible arch
with your knees bent.
The wide end of the unit should be positioned close to the base of your
spine so that the flexible arch supports your Lumbar region of your back.
Try to center your spine in the slot that is designed to cradle your spine
and provide extra comfort.
TIP: You may want to place a pillow beneath your head for
added comfort.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Stretch Positions
Simple stretch position
Relax as much as possible and breath normally. With your knees
bent, rest your arms at your sides.
This position provides the least
amount of stretch and is the easiest to do when starting out. If a greater
stretch is desired, proceed to the following positions.
tip:
You may want to place a pillow beneath your head for added
comfort.
Roll off and recover
Roll onto your side and off the BackMagic Flex. Sit up gradually and
rest for 30 seconds before standing.
Remember, you have just had a
major stretch and you should allow your blood to move back down from
your head to your heart, otherwise you may become dizzy.
Moderate Stretch Position
Raise your arms over your head and shoulders and rest them as close
to the floor as you can for an additional stretch.
In time it will become
easier, and you may be able to extend your arms fully and rest your elbows
comfortably on the floor.
Maximum Stretch Position
extend your legs and arms fully, as shown in the photo.
Remove
the pillow from beneath your head for the maximum amount of
stretch. Feel your back, shoulder, chest and abdominal muscles stretch-
ing, and concentrate on relaxing as much as possible.
