How To Adjust The Traction Effect Of The TRUE BACK®

We suggest that when first using TRUE BACK you leave the foam infills in place (A above.) and use a pillow. When you have become accustomed to the device try removing the infills (B above.) and/or pillow, this will increase the traction effect. If you experience discomfort replace the pillow and/or infills and continue your treatments.

How to Use

TRUE BACK is light weight, convenient and easy to use. Treatments take only a few minutes. It is important that you do your part while using TRUE BACK. For the best results may we suggest that you relax your body, close your eyes and breathe deeply. Do not work against the device. Please watch the instructional video which includes some exercises that will increase the stretching effect while using TRUE BACK. We suggest that you start treatments with the infills in place and use a pillow with the high end towards your head. (see fig. 1)

Figure #1

The device will create traction to the neck and shoulders (cervical and thoracic areas). After a minute or two try removing the pillow, if you experience discomfort, replace the pillow. TRUE BACK should increase your flexibility sufficiently enough to use the device without a pillow. After spending 3-5 minutes with the high end towards the head, reverse the TRUE BACK, (see figure 2.) with high end towards the base of your spine. This will create increased traction to the lower back (the lumbar area) again, relax, close your eyes and breath deeply, maintain this position for 3-5 minutes as tolerated. TRUE BACK creates relaxation, be careful not to fall asleep on the device. Although it will not harm you it could create muscle soreness. Most people find that 5 minutes in each direction is sufficient. However, we suggest that 10 minutes in each direction should be the maximum. Please note, it is more beneficial to use TRUE BACK frequently rather than for long periods.
