decrease pressure on intervertebral discs, stretch and relax your muscles, and temporarily relieve back pain associated
with the listed conditions. You will probably experience all of these benefits and much more. However, Inversion is not
for everyone. Please review the list of contraindications:

USING THE INVERSION BAR

Make sure to test the bar installation. Failure to test installation could
result in serious injury or death. See Assembly Instructions.
Mounting (See Figure 3):
• Grasp the bar with both hands. Swing one leg up and place your foot against
the bottom of the bar.
• Raise your other foot up and hook the boot onto the bar.
• Shift your weight to the hooked boot and hook the second boot.
• Slowly lower yourself, using the door jam for support, until you are inverted.

Dismounting:

• Reach your arms up toward the bar. You may need to use the door jam or a
rope tied to the bar to help yourself up.
• Grasp the blue foam grips on the bar. To reduce the chance of dizziness while
getting down, pause for 30 seconds with both hands on the bar while the boots
are still hooked. Relax in this position to stretch the upper back.
• Unhook one boot and place that foot against the bottom of the bar. Shift your
weight to the unhooked foot and unhook the second boot.
CAUTION! Until you are fully confident in your ability to get down from
an inverted position always work with a spotting partner.
