Before users attempt to operate the equipment, they must be briefed on how the equipment works. Explain that the DEX
TM
operates strictly under user control - that is, the users are able to rotate the unit as slow or as fast as they desire. They will
need to use the strength of their arms to lower their body down and to return upright. If you or the user is are unsure about
their ability to operate the equipment properly, advise them to always have a spotter nearby or else to discontinue the use of
the equipment.
Instruct the users in the following steps to invert:
Step One
• Stand with your feet on the Foot Platform, positioning your thighs between the
Leg Rollers and Lap Pad.
• Determine whether the width of the Leg Rollers is comfortable. Adjust if
necessary.
• Determine whether the Lap Pad is at the correct height. Your hips should be
the same height as the top edge of the Lap Pad. Adjust if necessary.
Step Two
• To begin inversion, move from the waist and slowly lean forward.
• Bend one knee and reach for the Cane Shaped Handles with both hands.
• While holding the Cane Shaped Handles, continue to slowly lean forward and
rotate the Lap Pad while lifting and bending the other leg.
Step Three
• Continue rotation until the Lap Pad reaches the stop position. Your body
weight will be supported by your thighs.
• Keep both knees bent around the Leg Rollers. Allow your hands to dangle on
the floor or place them folded behind your head.
It is important to maintain bent knees to help support your body while inverted.
Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death!

INSTRUCTIONAL TRAINING MANUAL
WHILE INVERTED
ENCOURAGE USERS TO... RELAX. BREATHE. STRETCH. DECOMPRESS. MOVE. EXERCISE. Explain how to
achieve maximum benefits when using the DEX
TM
:
• For maximum decompression, breathe deeply and relax the muscles in the lower back and shoulders.
• Movement is also helpful to encourage relaxation, stimulation of circulation and lymph flow.
• It is important to listen to your own body. Everyone is unique and your own body will tell you when you’ve had enough.
• You may want to increase the duration of use over a period of time. However, inversion is NOT a no pain, no gain
activity. Always listen to your body’s response to inversion and ascend if you feel anxiety, discomfort, dizziness or pain.
• Some people may prefer to use the equipment for decompression and relaxation. Others may prefer a more active workout
consisting of stretching and exercise (see pg. 4). Spend time with each individual user to develop his or her own unique routine.
Step One
User stands inside
the Leg Rollers -
hips should align
with the top edge
of the Lap Pad
Step Two
User leans
forward, bends
one knee and
reaches for
the Cane
Shaped
Handles
Step Three
User rotates the
Lap Pad, inverting
in the 90/90
position
To return to an upright position, instruct the user to reverse the procedure explained above:
• Use the Cane Shaped Handles to gradually walk yourself upright, rotating the Lap Pad and straightening your legs until
standing at the start position.
