Congratulations!
You have just purchased a product that really is going to change your life!
The Chase Technique is the art of suspending your body correctly on the Back BubbleTM. This will enable
you to use your body weight to produce spinal decompression that will quickly relieve pain from your lower
back and sciatica. The Chase Technique will also help align your lower back, increase flexibility, strengthen
the core muscle groups and promote the movement of corrective fluids. It works!
Your Back BubbleTM is a unique inflatable cushion suspended from a properly calibrated buoyancy spring.
The combination of the inflatable cushion encircling and suspending you from the chrome plated spring
will give you a feeling of floating in air-cushioned weightlessness. The pressure will be removed from the
pain causing structures in your lower back, giving you relief from your pain in seconds. You will love it!
Please review the self evaluation guide on page 6 to learn how you, personally, should use the
Back BubbleTM for best results.
The Back Bubble is an inflatable cushioned device that enables a user to use their own body weight
to produce spinal decompression that will relieve pain from the lower back and sciatica.
