Before using the BackMagic Flex, please read and follow these simple guidelines to maximize the benefits.
Caution: If you have a recognised back or neck condition including any Spondylosis, Osteoporosis, Severe
Arthritis, Spondylolisthesis, Spinal Lesions/Tumours, and Acute Fractures, consult your doctor before use.
• Start by using your BackMagic Flex on the foam side of the flexible arch for 1minute twice a day in Level 1
position. Even with this minimum amount of use, you should expect to feel some discomfort as your body
adjusts.
• Work up to 5 minute treatment sessions twice daily in your desired position.
• If you find it difficult to stretch for five minutes, stop. Do only what you are comfortable with and slowly work
up to 5 minutes.
• Even with the minimum amount of use, you may experience some discomfort while your body adjusts due
to the release of tension and tightness in your back. If you have any doubts, please discontinue using the
BackMagic Flex and check with your doctor.
• Pay special attention to your daily progress. Individual results may vary. Some users experience immediate relief
and noticeable benefits, while others may take several weeks.
• As your flexibility and posture improve, you may want to advance to Level 2. Progression to Level 3 should only
be considered by capable high flexibility, yoga, pilates, gymnastics and athletic persons.
• Relax. One of the keys to a good tension relieving stretch is relaxation. Take a deep breath, exhale gently, and
let your body weight work together with gravity. You will achieve a greater stretch and arrive at a more relaxed
state sooner. Relax as much as possible when using your BackMagic Flex. It will become easier to do with
regular use.
• Always use the BackMagic Flex with the narrow end positioned toward your head and the wide end positioned
toward the base of your spine.

discomfort, STOP stretching and consult your doctor.

SAFETY SYMBOLS
Using the side with the massage points
When you are completely familiar with the
BackMagic Flex on the smooth side of the
exible arch, progress to the side with the
massage points. Until you are completely
familiar with the massaging action, use a towel
over the exible arch for comfort.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Additional positions to try
Arm Stretch
Experiment with different arm and hand positions to feel how
different muscles in the shoulders and arms are being stretched
gently and easily.
FINAL NOTE
The BackMagic Flex was designed to make your life more enjoyable through better back health. Use your
BackMagic Flex to stretch muscles and relieve back discomfort due to tight muscles, excessive exion, and poor
spinal alignment. Incorporate it into your daily routine to achieve maximum results.
REMEMBER: The BackMagic Flex can be used anytime. Users nd it most benecial when they use it just
prior to or immediately after any prolonged activity or inactivity.
Thanks again for taking this simple step toward improving the quality of your life with the BackMagic Flex!
Thoracic Stretch
Slide the BackMagic Flex toward your head to support and stretch
the thoracic region of your back. This stretch isolates and targets
many postural muscles.
It is recommended that you use a pillow when you begin doing this
stretch.
Level 1 will usually provide a sufficient stretch in this area.
REMEMBER: The higher levels of arch adjustment – Levels 2 and 3 – provide an even greater stretch
and are recommended for advanced users.

Relieve back discomfort due to tight muscles
and the loss of lumber curve
Dear BackMagic Flex Customer
Congratulations. You have just purchased one of the most brilliant and yet easy to use solutions for tightness and
tension.
We all spend way too much time sitting which negatively alters our posture by flattening our lower back and
neck curves. This inevitably causes stiffness and tightness of the postural muscles that are attached to our spine.
BackMagic Flex is an affordable and portable device that can easily help to alleviate this problem.
Use your BackMagic Flex daily, lie on it regularly, up to 5 minutes, twice a day and watch your spine become
more flexible and your posture transform.
As you know I am passionate about attaining and maintaining good posture and for more tips and ideas on this
subject please visit my website at http://LighterLiving.com.
Wishing you a healthier and happier year.

If you’re using BackMagic Flex for the first time, it is recommended that you use the foam side of the
flexible arch until you are completely familiar with the stretching action, before trying the side with
the massage points. Also, the first time you use the side with the massage points, cover with a towel
for increased comfort.
REMEMBER: Begin your BackMagic Flex program with the exible arch in the Level 1 position.
Get Ready
Sit with your back to the arch. Slowly lie back onto the exible arch
with your knees bent.
The wide end of the unit should be positioned close to the base of your
spine so that the exible arch supports your Lumbar region of your back.
Try to center your spine in the slot that is designed to cradle your spine
and provide extra comfort.
TIP:Youmaywanttoplaceapillowbeneathyour head for
added comfort.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
StretchPositions
Simple stretch position
Relax as much as possible and breath normally. With your knees
bent, rest your arms at your sides. This position provides the least
amount of stretch and is the easiest to do when starting out. If a greater
stretch is desired, proceed to the following positions.
Tip: You may want to place a pillow beneath your head for added
comfort.
Roll o and recover
Roll onto your side and o the BackMagic Flex. Sit up gradually and
rest for 30 seconds before standing. Remember, you have just had a
major stretch and you should allow your blood to move back down from
your head to your heart, otherwise you may become dizzy.
ModerateStretchPosition
Raise your arms over your head and shoulders and rest them as close
to the oor as you can for an additional stretch. In time it will become
easier, and you may be able to extend your arms fully and rest your elbows
comfortably on the oor.
MaximumStretchPosition
Extend your legs and arms fully, as shown in the photo. Remove
the pillow from beneath your head for the maximum amount of
stretch. Feel your back, shoulder, chest and abdominal muscles stretch-
ing, and concentrate on relaxing as much as possible.
