• you may want to do.
• Observe the following recommendations for time use and level of arch adjustment.
• Select your favorite position to use the BackMagic®.
• Perform a five-minute stretch per session in your desired position. Two sessions a day are
• recommended, although you may enjoy using the BackMagic® even three times a day.
• If you find it difficult to stretch for five minutes, stop. Do only what you are comfortable
• with and slowly work up to five minutes.
• If you experience discomfort in the beginning, it is usually just an indication of the amount
• of tension and tightness in your back and should subside in time. If you have any doubts,
• please discontinue using the BackMagic® and check with your physician.
• Pay special attention to your daily progress. Individual results may vary. Some users
• experience immediate relief and noticeable benefits, while others may take several weeks.

Caution: Should you experience any irregular physical condition, such as questionable muscle or joint pain, STOP stretching and consult your physician.

• Regardless of your physical condition, begin at the Level 1 arch adjustment.

• arch adjustment, although it is not necessary. The Level 3 arch adjustment is designed for
• advanced users or yoga practitioners only.
• Relax. One of the keys to a good tension relieving stretch is relaxation. Take a deep breath,
• exhale gently, and let your body weight work together with gravity. You will achieve a greater

• BackMagic®. It will become easier to do with regular use.
• Always use the BackMagic® with the narrow end positioned toward your head and the wide
• end positioned toward the base of your spine.
