Posture Pump® is a serious spinal health product
recommended by doctors to thousands of patients throughout the USA and
other countries. It is not a massage device or an "occasional
use" product! Keep Posture Pump® on your bed, nightstand
or a place where you can USE IT OFTEN. Take it with you on trips.
Just minutes on the Posture Pump® will reinforce your
neck's and back's NATURAL CURVED SHAPE and LUBRICATE THE JOINTS.
During the first week, as the natural shape of your
neck and back is strengthened, you may experience normal discomfort
and soreness. As with any new exercise, THIS IS NORMAL. Skip a few days
if you must, but STICK WITH IT! DON'T QUIT! Think of Posture Pump®
as you would your toothbrush. Just as your toothbrush protects your
teeth, let Posture Pump® strengthen and lubricate your neck and
back. Like working oil into a rusty hinge, use Posture Pump® after
long periods of holding your head, neck and back in uncomfortable positions.
Many use it just before bedtime to relieve head, neck and back discomfort,
stiffness, stress and to fall asleep easier.

Q. |
My muscles were sore a day or two after my
Posture Pump® workout. Is this normal? |
| A. |
Just like performing any new exercise, an aggressive workout
with the Posture Pump® can temporarily make you sore. To reduce
this occurrence, inflate the exerciser at lower levels and keep
your
workouts under 10 minutes for the first 2 weeks. This will allow
your body to gradually adapt to a more aggressive workout. |

Q. |
After I’ve finished my workout on the Posture Pump®
Elliptical Back Rocker™ (Model 2000) my back feels stiff when
I’m trying to get off. |
| A. |
In addition to the above question/answer it’s best to stretch
your back out prior to getting off the unit. After you’ve
completed your workout on the Posture Pump® Elliptical Back
Rocker™ and you’ve deflated all air cells; gently bring
your knees to your chest one at a time for 5 seconds each. Then
bring both knees to your chest (the best you can) and hold for 5
seconds then release. Gently roll off the exerciser onto your left
or right side slowly and carefully before rising. |

Q. |
I’ve heard that using ice on a sore back is a good
thing, can I use it while on the Posture Pump®? |
| A. |
Yes. When using the Posture Pump® Elliptical Back Rocker™
you can place a cold gel pack over one of the air cells, usually
the lowest pouch, is recommended to speed recovery from stiffness
and discomfort. Chronic stiffness and discomfort may take 30-60
days or more to adequately subside. Be sure to cover the gel pack
with cloth; never place gel pack directly against skin! Consult
your health care professional prior to beginning any exercise program. |

Q. |
Should I stretch or do a warm-up prior to starting the
Posture Pump®? |
| A. |
Yes, please be sure to read and follow the instructions to your
specific Posture Pump® model, including the warm-up and follow
all cautions on instruction sheet. |

Q. |
I’m interested in the Posture Pump® Cervical
Spine Trainer® (Model 1000) but I don’t like any pressure
against my chin or jaw and my husband can’t stand too much
pressure against his forehead, is the head restraint adjustable? |
| A. |
Yes! The unique Dual-Pull™ restraint can be adjusted for
too much forehead pressure by sliding the chin strap more snugly
onto the chin and sliding the forehead strap more toward the hairline.
Reverse this action for more forehead pressure and less chin pressure.
If you have TMJ (jaw) weakness or cannot stand to have any pressure
on your chin, simply relocate the entire strap/restraint into the
forward open slots on the frame and unsnap the chin restraint from
both sides (leaving only the forehead section). This will eliminate
jaw and chin pressure. |
| 6. |
Q. |
The head restraint/strap on my Posture Pump® Cervical
Spine Trainer® (Model 1000) has gotten dirty. How do I clean
it? |
| A. |
Simply wipe it down with a wet/damp cloth. If it is really dirty
you may remove the strap and soak it in the sink with some soap
and lay it out to dry for 24 hours. Please be sure to replace the
restraint/strap back into the appropriate slots on the frame when
ready to use. |
Be sure to read the instructions and cautions
sheet prior to use and keep exerciser out of the reach of children.
