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 with the use, rock the bed slowly by moving your arms up
and down 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 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.
