15. Finally, push down the “push-buttons” to release the safety catch locks and return the back rest to its last and most
upright locking point. You should be able to slip a foot out from under the foot pads (foot-rolls) and then release
the foot restraint/foot locking device to its open position.
Step out and away from your Mastercare Back-A-Traction.
It is very important to relax after each session. Avoid lifting and strenuous movements, and take it easy for a
few minutes.
Now you have a basic stretching exercise program.
Start with caution. In the beginning "hold" means a few seconds. After you have been training for some weeks it may
mean 20 to 30 seconds. Notice the reactions of your body. Intensify the exercises gradually.
Feel free to talk to your back specialist about an exercise program just for you.
After some time, when you are familiar with Mastercare Back-A-Traction and the reactions of your body, you can do
the stretching exercises in the 30 degree inversion angle. (The second position after horizontal). However, 15 degree
has proven to be most effective and therefore all you need.
Total relaxation is necessary to get the best results.
ADDITIONAL STRETCHING EXERCISES
A. Put your hands on your shoulders. Rotate arms and shoulders slowly forwards and backwards. Relax. Breathe.
Repeat.
B. Clasp one wrist and pull the arm over your head in the long direction of the backrest, looking down at the floor.
Then do the other arm. Relax. Take some deep breaths. Repeat.
C. Clasp your hands together on your stomach. Turn your head as far as possible towards each side, stretching the
neck muscles. Relax. Take some deep breaths. Repeat.
The most important thing you do on the table is to relax, to let your muscles and tendons stretch. The muscles let “go"
of their tension little by little as you "hang" and relax, and by this you regain your flexibility. There is also a beneficial
"negative" pressure on your discs, a "suction" action, achieved from just "hanging"/relaxing in 15 degree.
We recommend that you use Mastercare Back-A-Traction one to three times per day, two to fifteen minutes per
session.
lt is important that you relax and take it easy for a few minutes after each session. You may find it very beneficial just
to invert and relax during an entire session, and also to use Back-A-Traction face down/in prone position. In many low
back disc problem situations, it is very beneficial to use the table face down/in prone position, especially just before
going to bed. We also want you to be prepared that you may experience "popping" in your back as your spine is being
aligned.
OBS! Prone position/face down is ONLY pertaining for Models A – Not B or Mini.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Please note:
For commercial use (hands-on treatments) of Model CN-A1, CN-A2, CN-A3, CN-AH6,
