CAUTION: Prior to use, ensure that all Adjustment Knobs are fully tightened and that each side is adjusted to the same setting.
We recommend using a chair or couch to help position your legs in a 90 degree bend, which will allow maximum decompression benefits
with the P2. The following instructions are written with that in mind. Alternatively, you can place your feet on the floor (Figure 11).
FIGURE 5 FIGURE 6
• Place your hands on the Hand Grips and gently push in an effort to straighten
your arms down the length of your body (Figures 9 & 10).
» If your arms remain significantly bent while pushing, you may want to try
moving your Adjustment Setting to the next lower number.
• Attempt to relax the muscles in your lower back, allowing the spine to lengthen
and decompress. Hold for 5-10 seconds only. Rest and repeat at least two more
times. Upon completion, allow your body to rest on the ground 20-30 seconds
before exiting the P2.
• To exit, scoot your body away from the chair to allow enough clearance for you to
return your feet to the ground. With legs still bent, slowly and carefully return to
the seated position and remove one leg at a time from the P2.

Positioning and Fitting the P2
• Place the P2 on the floor in front of the chair with the Roller Supports nearest the chair, u-shaped Hand Grips facing up.
• Sit on the ground in between the Hand Grips with your knees bent. Ensure that the Lap Pads are turned to face down (Figure 5).
• Lift up on the Hand Grips slightly, placing both feet through the opening between the Lap Pad Bar and Roller Support Bar, so that the Lap
Pads are positioned ON TOP of your legs and the Roller Supports are UNDER your legs (Figure 6).
• Slide the P2 up your legs so that the Hand Grips are on either side of your hips, with the top edge of the Lap Pads in the crease of your thigh
and the Roller Supports behind your knees (Figure 7).
» At this point, you may need to move the Adjustment Slider to a larger or smaller setting to ensure a comfortable and accurate fit.
» Once you have found your ideal setting, make note of it so that you can pre-set the P2 before future uses.
• Carefully recline and lay your back flat on the floor. Lift both feet and prop them onto the chair. You may need to scoot your body closer to
the chair so that your legs create a 90 degree angle (Figure 8).
» The Roller Supports should remain positioned under your knees and the top edge of the Lap Pads in the crease
of your thighs – if not, move the Adjustment Slider and test again.
To avoid the risk tripping and falling, ALWAYS mount and dismount the equipment while sitting on a
level surface with both feet on the floor.

Understanding Your P2™ Back Stretcher
Before reading further, study the diagram to familiarize yourself with the important components of your P2™.
STEP 1
Assemble the Hand Grips to the Roller Support Bar
• Place the Roller Support Bar on the ground with the “R” and “L”
markings face up.
• Locate the “R” on the left Handle Grip and insert it into the “R”
side of the Roller Support Bar so that the letters are aligned with
one another (Figure 1a).
• Press the button on the handle to allow it to slide in all the way, and
adjust as necessary until the button clicks into the hole and locks the
handle in place (Figure 1b).
• Repeat with the left “L” handle.
STEP 2
• Rotate counterclockwise to loosen the Adjustment Knobs on both
sides of the Adjustment Sliders (Figure 2).
• Locate the “R” and “L” markings on the Lap Pad Bar and align it with
the right and left sides of the Roller Support bar (Figure 3).
• Slide both ends of the Lap Pad Bar through the openings of the blue
plastic Adjustment Sliders that have the triangular logo markings.
DO NOT tighten the Adjustment Knobs yet.
• Turn the P2 over and slide the Lap Pad Bar so that the desired
numerical setting is shown in the window of the Adjustment Slider
on both sides (Figure 4a).
» Your ideal numerical setting on the Adjustment Slider will vary
depending on the width of your thighs.
» The smallest setting is “6” and the largest setting is “1”. We
recommend starting with setting “3”.
» Once you follow the User Instructions on the next page, you
can loosen or tighten depending on the fit.
• Firmly hand-tighten the Adjustment Knobs on both sides (Figure 4b).
