1. Start by lying fully back on the bed with your hands at your side, or resting on your thighs
．
2. Keeping your hands close to your body begins to
raise your arms slowly allowing the table to rotate
backward. Stop, or 1ower your arms to control the
downward rotation of the table
3. Raise your arms until they are over your head, at
this point, the inversion table will be as fall back as
it can go
．
4. As you get more comfortable, rock the bed slowly
by moving your arms up an own slowly
．
5. It is recommended that the inversion table be used
for five or ten minutes each morning and again
each evening
．
6. Return to the upright position by slowly moving
your hands back down to your thighs
．
SUGGESTIONS FOR USE
1. Begin slowly: invert only 15~20 degrees to begin with. Stay inverted only as long as you are
comfortable. Return upright slowly
．
2. Make gradual changes: Increase the angle only if it is comfortable. Increase the angle only a few
degrees at a time. Increase the time of use 1~2 minutes up to ten over a period of weeks. Add
stretching and light exercise only after you are comfortable with inversion.
3. Watch your body: Come up slowly. Dizziness after a session means you came up to fast. Wait a
while after eating before using table. Coming up immediately if you feel nauseous
．
4. Keep moving: Movement while inverted encourages blood circulation. Movement may be
accomplished by either rhythmic traction or light exercise. Do not exercise strenuously while
inverted, Limit partial inversion without movement to one or two minutes. Limit full inversion with no
movement to only a few seconds
．
5. Invert regularly: We recommend two or three times a day depending upon your current condition.
Try to schedule it for the same times each day
．
LOCKING THE BED
When the inversion table rotates past the vertical Inverted position the bed becomes locked. And will not
return to the upright position in the usual way. The locked position allows you to hang straight upside-down
completely free of the bed. This position allows you to enjoy all of the benefits of a handstand with none of
the discomforts. It also allows you to do exercises such as the waistband. To get into the locked position
adjust the pivot arms so the studs go through the top holes and then mount and use normally. When your
arms are completely extended above your head, the bed will rotate all the way to the locked position
．
To recover from the locked position, simply grab the handlebars and pull on them while pushing back on the
heel holders with your legs. If you cannot reach the handlebars than you can still recover by grabbing the
back of the bed with one hand, the rear u-frame with the other, and pulling your hands together
