.

Deflate air cells by pushing down on
both
pump buttons at the same time.

Repeat steps 2 through 6 several times leaving unit inflated to a comfortable level on the last repetition.
8.
Relax on inflated unit for 15 minutes. Gradually work up to this 15-minute goal by
adding a few minutes to each training session.**
*If you are not comfortable and centered on the inflated
bladder, or if it seems to inflate unevenly, release the air,
then
re-center
yourself on the unit.
**Just like performing any new treatment, an aggres-
sive workout with the Posture Pump
®
Elliptical Back
Rocker™ can temporarily make you sore. To reduce
this occurrence, inflate the unit at lower levels and
keep your workouts under 10 minutes for the first two
weeks. This will allow your body to gradually adapt to
a more aggressive workout
.
