How to use the back stretcher

Mary, I'm sorry to repeat but I wanted to be sure you understood that it took me a long time to build up to the third level. You really have to take this very very slowly so I wouldn't want you using it for 20 minutes in the first month or so

You really want to pay attention to these posts because I ordereded one and have never used it. Until today I didn't remember what it was called and all you're going to get is a little flat box. You might even want to print out what these people have to say so you have some idea what to do with it when you get yours.

I use the back magic twice a day. I use the first level (there are 3 levels). I use it not only to stretch my lower back but also to stretch my thoracic (middle to upper back) due to stress or long sitting at work. Use a pillow for your head when you are using it in level's higher than 1 one or when you're doing the thoracic stretch. Roll off the product when you're done.

Use your right hand to grasp the fabric of the seat in the middle of the rear edge of the seat. Use your left hand to grasp the fabric of the seat in the middle of the front edge of the seat. Pull up sharply with both hands simultaneously - et voila ! ADVANCED TECHNIQUE: Swap hands :)

FYI The Spine-Worx was designed by a chiropractor to help ease back pain and correct back alignment. Shaped in the form of the human spine, it targets pain in the mid and lower areas of the back. It has two padded bars that sit up from a base. People start out by using it once a day, working up to twice a day unless it causes severe discomfort.

Place a pillow on the side where the rails are lower for your head to rest on. Sit with your back toward the Spine-Worx where the rails are higher. 2 Lay back slowly. Use your arms to brace yourself as you lay your back onto the Spine-Worx. 3 Center your vertebrae in between the two bars. Rest your head on the pillow. 4 Lay perfectly straight or adjust as needed. If you feel uncomfortable or still have some pain in the back, then adjust your legs or arms. 5 Stay in the comfortable position on the Spine-Worx. Initially, use the Spine-Worx for up to five minutes. Eventually, you can increase the time to 15 minutes twice a day.

Because there is no way to secure the back stretcher (outside of using some sort of McGyver mechanism) to the inversion table, I would have to say no. I use the back stretcher as well as an inversion table. Each has its advantages. I find using the back stretcher even for a few minutes before bed time and again upon waking greatly reduces back pain. Overall though, an inversion table just has far more benefit for the whole body.

The beauty of this stretcher is that you can put a pillow under your head so you don't feel upside down, but still get the stretch your back needs. This product works on your lumbar zone so elevating your head to a comfortable level isn't an issue, at least for me.

Before you step on the the release, try to push the body forward so as to push against the base, then step on the release and pull the body backward. I found this work almost all of the time.

To lower the back rest is to pushing forward until it can't go any further then pull it backward

I would try it on the lowest setting first, then move the the second setting. At first it is painfull. You have a lot of tension in your back and it doesn't easily loosen up. for me the second setting and stretching my arms over my head as much as possible gave me the best stretch and relieved my pain.

When you hem you are going completely around so when you are ready to end and take your fabric out. Raise the needles up and take a pin rake the two needle treads toward you between the foot and your fabric cut the two threads then pull your fabric straight back this will pull your threads to the back side of fabric and lock your stitch in place.

Orange knob on the left rear leg. Pull out and turn clockwise. Front leg should fold out and lock in place when fully extended.

I can feel the stretch in my lower back when I do squats. I'm not any kind of trainer. Perhaps you should see one!

Very simply, you can adjust your ability to lean back or to return upright by locating a small black round knob just under the backrest slab. While you are off the machine, pulling that black knob (which is attached to a spring-loaded pin) out, to the right, will release the vertical footrest bar. This will allow you to adjust the distance between the footrest and the backrest slab. As you pull the knob (with pin) out to the right, the vertical footrest bar will freely slide up and down until you release the knob (with pin) to settle into one of the adjustment holes, provided. By adjusting the distance your feet are from the backrest slab, you will cause your weight distribution to change on slab, similar to a teeter-totter. This is going to be a "trial and error process" for you. I suggest making small adjustments, one hole at a time, testing each setting that you think will work. Making any severe adjustment could cause you to swing back too quickly and require heavier pulling to bring yourself upright or require too much effort to lay back. I leave my machine set as to offer gentle resistance when trying to lay back. This makes it easier to return to an upright position with just an easy pull. With a little practice of adjusting, you will find the best setting(s) for you. Hope this helps you.

Waterwind, I did the Lastics 20 minute section on the shoulders and neck this am after my yoga workout so that I could better help answer your question. At the beginning, you lie down and rest your head on a rolled up towel, gently turning the head and then relaxing it. Next, while on your back, you put one forearm at a time behind your back and stretch. Then there's a back twist which does feel good on the shoulder. Next, you get in child's pose but without your butt going to your heels; the hips are left up in the air. Then you do eagle position while kneeling. Next you lay on your back with your arms overhead perpendicular to the floor and do some shoulder shrugs, then you lay on your back with arms to the side and keep the elbows in place as you move hands front and back in an arc like windshield wipers. All positions/stretches are held for approx. 1 minute. I sometimes strain or pull a muscle group that includes my right scapula, entire right shoulder, right side of the neck, and then I get a right-sided headache. If you're looking for a tape that really involves neck stretches, this really isn't going to be what you're looking for. The neck/shoulder section is definitely much more of a shoulder stretch DVD, although you could add your own neck stretch at the end. I hope this helps!

#1 Put on lowest level and place widest base at back while sitting on floor. #2 slide away from back an inch #3 lie back slowly #4 stretch arms over head slowly as far as you can, if not, fold hands behind head and pull up slowly. Try stretching arms out again.

You need to adjust the position of where the weight hangs. It should be hanging down from your back to around your lower back area. If set up properly, you will unconsciously keep you back straight to have the weight hang rather than press up against your back if you were to slouch. At least that's the way how its worked for me.P.S. You shouldn't sit against a back rest if you are wearing the Body Rite, because the weight will press against the back rest and cause more pain than good. Only use when sitting on a backless stool, standing or walking.
