Lying across the Back Stretcher allows the spine to open out gradually, freeing the discs that have been compressed against each other all day. Arched back support for lumbar and spinal health. Start with shorter sessions of just a couple minutes and gradually build up to 10-20 minutes per session. The secret with the back stretcher is frequent short sessions, not occasional long session. 1. Start seated on the floor aligning the bony part of your spine with the center of the Stretcher to allow the vertebrae to rest in the “channel.” 2. Lie back slowly and relax. Bend your knees and bring your feet closer in if that is more comfortable. 3. Increase the stretch as you become accustomed to the Back Stretcher. Your bottom will be sitting on the end of the Stretcher at the height of the stretch. A few tips! • Always lie down slowly and gently – don't make forced moves • Start in a position where your spine is straight before you move up to positions where your spine is being stretched • Place the Back Stretcher on solid ground • In the beginning use a pillow to support your head, which you may remove after several weeks • During a session try to relax by listening to music • Make sure you won't fall asleep; use an alarm clock to track your time • Use the Back Stretcher on a regular basis for the best results.
