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
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 too fast. Wait a while after eating before using table. If you get
nauseous, do not fight it, come up as soon as you feel queasy.
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 time each day.
