USER MANUAL

HELLO THERE.
Joel and I are athletes who suffered from
severe ACL injuries a few months apart.
We purchased multiple pieces of exercise
equipment for our in-home rehab but were
left disappointed and frustrated by all that
fitness gear that made big promises but gave
no support, no well-thought-out plan to follow,
and no results. And that’s how Lifepro came
about, and why the Sports Recovery collection
was created—we’ve set out to change all of
that. It’s why every piece of equipment bearing
our name not only undergoes rigorous scrutiny
to make sure it delivers on power and efficacy,
but comes with built-in support from our
‘guiding angels’ and a built-in lifetime warranty
so that you’re never left hanging.
Welcome to Lifepro.
We’re in this together now.
A & Joel

Physical therapists, chiropractors, and athletic trainers use massage
therapy to help athletes recover from injury and improve performance.
The Lifepro FlexiMod Modular Massage Tool is your new fitness go-to: use it
post-workout to speed up your workout recovery or pre-workout to enhance
your performance.
Use the FlexiMod to loosen tight muscles and fascia, also called self-
myofascial release. The FlexiMod’s massage heads can penetrate areas
that human hands have difficulty reaching, relieving tight, sore muscles,
increasing blood flow, and reducing inflammation.
An extremely useful application of the FlexiMod is releasing tight psoas
muscles. The psoas muscles are deep abdominal muscles that connect your
torso to your legs. They allow you to bend and twist, stabilize your spine and
hips, and help maintain proper posture while sitting, standing, and moving.
Tight psoas muscles are often responsible for chronic back pain and can be
also responsible for knee and pelvic pain.
Four interchangeable massage head pairs help you target small and large
muscle groups and provide varying massage intensities. The FlexiMod is
light and portable allowing you to take it with you on the go.
Redefine your workouts and experience the
transformative power of the Lifepro FlexiMod:
Increase workout effectiveness: reduce muscle soreness and speed
up recovery; prevent injury; improve muscle flexibility
and performance.
Recover from injury: decrease pain and inflammation; break down
scar tissue; loosen stiff joints.
Find pain relief: loosen knots, trigger points, and tightness in your
muscles and fascia; boost circulation; manage chronic pain caused by
tendinitis, bursitis, carpel tunnel, and more.
Boost immune system: improve sleep; reduce stress; increase
serotonin and decrease cortisol.

FlexiMod. Next, be sure to visit our website fleximod.lifeprofitness.com

Self-myofascial
massage is an

training, used by
everyone from

to weightlifters and

TIPS FOR USING YOUR FLEXIMOD
• Visit our website fleximod.lifeprofitness.com to access to our FREE
library of workout videoswhich demonstrate how to easily incorporate
the FlexiMod into your fitness routine.
• See HOW TO USE YOUR FLEXIMOD on pages 12–19 for illustrations
and instructions for using the FlexiMod to massage specific muscle
groups.
• When you encounter muscle soreness, hold your position for 5–60
seconds. Hold longer when working with larger muscle groups or very
tight muscles.
• Use a consistent, downward pressure. As you are releasing tight, sore
muscles, some pain is normal. Always listen to your body and never push
beyond your limits. If you feel sharp or intense pain or numbness, stop.
• Increase the intensity of the self-myofascial release by increasing the
amount of your weight that you place on the FlexiMod.
• Focus on your breathing. Breathe deeply and steadily, in and out.
• Use the FlexiMod for 10–15 minute sessions, up to three times per day.
• Always stay hydrated before and after the massage session.
• To locate your psoas muscles: place both hands on your hip bones and
then move your fingers in toward your belly button.
EXERCISE SAFETY
• Always maintain control and move slowly while using the massager.
• Always do a short 5 minute warm up to warm your muscles and prevent
injury.
• Wear comfortable athletic shoes with non-slip soles.
• Use a dry towel to wipe sweat off the surface of the FlexiMod before
use and during the massage, as needed.
• Never use the FlexiMod while intoxicated. Do not use the FlexiMod
during or immediately after eating or when you feel tired. Do not use if
injured, ill, or if you have a fever.
• Do not perform other activities while using the FlexiMod to avoid
accidents or injury.
• Always inspect the FlexiMod for damage before use.
