Posture Pump®products are not designed to diagnose or cure disease.
Posture Pump® is a serious spinal health product recommended by doctors to thousands of patients throughout the USA and other countries. It is not a
massage device or an “occasional use” product! Keep Posture Pump® on your bed, night stand or a place where you can USE IT OFTEN. Take it with you
on trips. Just minutes on the Posture Pump® will reinforce your neck and back’s NATURA CURVED SHAPE, UBRICATE THE JOINTS and PROMOTE
PROPER POSTURE.
During the first week, as the natural shape of your neck and back is strengthened, you may experience normal discomfort and soreness. As with any new
exercise, THIS IS NORMA . Skip a few days if you must, but STICK WITH IT! DON’T QUIT! Think of Posture Pump® as you would your toothbrush. Just
as your toothbrush protects your teeth, let Posture Pump® strengthen and lubricate your neck and back. ike working oil into a rusty hinge, use Posture
Pump® after long periods of holding your head, neck and back in uncomfortable positions. Many use it just before bedtime to relieve head, neck and back
discomfort, stiffness, stress and to fall asleep easier.

4. Squeeze both pumps at the same time. (Usually 1 to 3 more pumps)
5. With your knees bent and feet firmly on the ground, rock pelvis up and back toward belly button using your abdominal muscles
to lift buttocks. Then rock downward using back muscles and allow lower back to gently stretch over air cells, lowering buttocks
toward floor. Gently rock back and forth 3-5 times or more. (See illustrations E & F)
Never rock on back unit with neck unit inflated if usin both to ether.
6. Deflate air cells by pushing down on both pump buttons at the same time.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 several times leaving unit inflated to a comfortable level on the last repetition.
8. Relax on inflated unit for 15 minutes. Gradually work up to this 15-minute goal by
adding a few minutes to each training session.**
* If you are not comfortable and centered on the inflated
bladder, or if it seems to inflate unevenly, release the air,
then re-center yourself on the unit.
**Just like performing any new treatment, an aggres-
sive workout with the Posture Pump®Elliptical Back
Rocker™ can temporarily make you sore. To reduce
this occurrence, inflate the unit at lower levels and
keep your workouts under 10 minutes for the first two
weeks. This will allow your body to gradually adapt to
a more aggressive workout.
