The pro ram for achievin a correct body posture
Do not wear your BackTone®for more than three to five minutes when you put it
on for the first time. Take it off and rest for between 10 and 15 minutes. Then try
again.
Wear the BackTone®twice a day for no longer than 20 minutes at one time.
Take off your BackTone®whenever you feel tired or uncomfortable. Take it off
when you feel tired after five minutes. Give your body time to become accustomed
to the new body posture by gradually increasing how long you wear it to a target
time of 20 minutes.
Wear the BackTone®while standing or walking. It's good, for instance, to wear it at
the desk or when you're walking to achieve a training effect.
Set the BackTone®to issue an acoustic alarm whenever possible. If you can't use the
alarm at work, then activate it at home during the first week.
Do not wear the BackTone®in the first few weeks when you have to bend forward,
twist or stretch upwards. It's more difficult to maintain a good posture during such
activities.
Stick to this program until you have achieved the desired body posture (usually
within three to five weeks). Then apply the program for a few days a month in
order to maintain your correct posture.
