Before You Begin

Review the guidelines you received from your healthcare provider

regarding the:

• amount of traction recommended (never so much that it hurts)

• duration (amount of time) of each treatment

• hold and relax times if intermittent traction is recommended

• number of treatments recommended per week or per day

For lumbar (low back) traction, remove clothing, belts and accessories

around the trunk and lower back area. The upper and lower stabilization

belts will stay more secure if they are in contact with bare skin.

Therefore, for best results, remove your shirt and slide your pants

down below your hips or remove them.
