DISC-TRACTION®
Back Exercises
Use the back belt when
you have discomfort or feel the need to stretch your back. Wear
it discretely outside clothing or under a shirt or blouse.
DISC-TRACTION®
can help prevent and relieve discomfort caused by excessive disc
and nerve compression in the lower back. It can also be worn
for support of the sacro-iliac joint.
Snuggly fasten the belt around your waist,
with the handles on the outside hanging down. Push down on the
handles so the belt sits on your hipbone. If fastened too
tight, the belt will be too high on your waist. If too loose,
it will slip down your hips. You can hold the handles with the
palms of your hands facing either in or out. Never tighten your
shoulders during any of the exercises.
Deep breathing during the exercises aids
relaxation and improves blood flow to the muscles. Breathe
slowly in and out.
After trying the various exercises, described
below, choose the ones that most fit your need and afford you
the greatest relief.

|
Exercise 1: In the
standing position, apply downward pressure on the
handles. Stretch upward and stand taller.
Do not tighten your shoulders.
Go slow. Feel your low back being stretched upward as
you press down on the handles. Maintain this position
for 5 seconds. Release the pressure. Relax. Repeat
this exercise up to three times. |

Exercise
2: In the same position, press down on the
handles to maintain the stretch, lean gently to the left
at the waist. Hold this position for 5 seconds.
Always maintain equal pressure on both handles.
Come slowly back to vertical. Relax. Now lean gently
to the right with equal pressure on the handles. Hold
this position for 5 seconds. Then release the
pressure. Relax. Repeat up to three times. |

Exercise
3: Same standing position, press down on the
handles and slightly twist your upper body to the left.
The rotation is at your waist, not at your knees. Keep
your hips steady. Hold this position for 5 seconds.
Come back slowly to the center. Relax. Now twist your
upper body to the right in exactly the same manner.
Hold this position for 5 seconds. Release the pressure.
Relax. Repeat up to three times. |

Exercise
4:
Same position. With your feet apart, the distance of
your hips, bend your knees to a semi-squat position.
Push down on the handles in the direction of your
tailbone with your palms facing out and bend gently
forward at the hips (not at the waist). As your upper
body comes down, do not round your back, keep your head
up. Breathe deeply and hold this position for 5
seconds. Then, pushing on the handles, knees bent,
come back slowly to standing position. Release the
pressure. Relax. Repeat up to three times. |

|
Exercise
5: Lying on your back, using a floor mat or firm
bed, bend your knees with your feet flat on the
surface. Let your body relax, breathing deeply. With
your palms facing out, push down on the handles and
slightly raise your buttocks. Hold for 5 seconds.
Repeat. Without the effect of gravity on your
vertebrae, this exercise maximizes the decompression of
your spine. |
Warning: If any of these exercises cause
or aggravate your condition, discontinue use and consult a
treating physician or chiropractor. No representation is made
that this belt has a curative or medicinal effect.
These
exercises do not take the place of appropriate medical
treatment. Do not use the belt in situations where the handles
could catch on moving machinery.
