For lumbar (low back) traction, remove clothing, belts and accessories
around the trunk and lower back area. The upper and lower harnesses
will stay more secure if they are in contact with bare skin. Therefore, for
best results, slip your shirt up and slide your pants down below your
hips or remove them.
