USING THE INVERSION TABLE
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, begin to raise your arms slowly allowing the table to rotate
backward. Stop, or lower 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 far back as it
can go
．
4.
As you get more comfortable, rock the bed slowly by moving your arms up and low 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
