9. To further fit the garment around the waist, remove the vest
garment and adjust the placement of the hook fastener straps
on the back panel of the vest. Move the hook fastener straps
outward to make the vest larger or inward to make the garment
smaller (Figure 8.3.f.).
NOTE:
Properly applied garments will follow the contours of your body
and fit snugly yet comfortably. To ensure they fit well, you may need to
readjust the garment when you sit and recline.
10. Sit in a soft-backed chair or recline at up to an angle up to
45 degrees.
You are now ready to begin your treatment session. See Chapter 9
for further instructions.
8.4 Applying Your Flexitouch Plus Head Garment
Preparing Your Head Garment for the First Time
1. Unfold your head garment, so the head strap is facing up and
located at the top. This is the front of the head garment. The nose
piece is located with the garment. The chin straps are located at
the bottom by the chin (Figure 8.4.a.).
NOTE: A mirror may be helpful for garment placement and fitting when
applying the head garment.
2. Place your head garment around the back of your head, aligning
the top of the garment so the forehead strap runs across the
crown of your head.
3. Pull the forehead strap through the plastic loop. Tighten the
garment further by pulling on the forehead strap, and secure it by
attaching the hook fastener of the forehead strap to the inner
head strap (#3 in Figure 8.4.a.).
4. Conform the nose piece across the bridge of your nose, and
attach the free hook fasteners to the side of your head garment
to ensure good contact with the cheeks. Adjust your garment so
it doesn’t come into contact with your eyes (Figure 8.4.b.).
5. Adjust the right inner chin strap to fit snugly under your chin
(Figure 8.4.c.).
6. Adjust the left outer chin strap over the top of the right inner chin
strap, and fasten it using the hook fastener (Figure 8.4.d.).
