• Attach the small straps to the front of the head.
• Thread the right-to-left strap through the plastic loop. Before securing it, open the other strap (front strap) and close it on top of the right-to-left strap. Then, Velcro close the right-to-left strap, forming a “T” shape.
• Place the weight pouch on the Velcro front of the harness and press it to conform around the head.
• Tighten the strap around the head.
• The harness can be washed.

• Use the rolls on your bed.
• Place the prescribed roll in the appropriate position, usually in the middle of your neck and lower back.
  
• Try to fall asleep on the rolls. If you can’t, stay on them for as long as you feel comfortable, then switch back to your pillow.
  
• Gradually increase the time you spend on the rolls by 5 minutes each night until it becomes a habit throughout the night. This can take up to 6 months.
  
• You can also use the rolls during the day for 10 to 20-minute periods. This is especially helpful after exercise or physical activity.

• Simply slip the covers over the progressive rolls for added comfort and durability. This 2-cover set enhances the durability and comfort of using the Progressive Rolls.
• They are washable by hand or machine, but it’s recommended to air dry them to prevent shrinking.

• Place the wedges on your bed or the floor.
  
• Follow your MaxLiving doctor’s instructions to place the appropriate wedge in the prescribed position.
  
• Use the wedges for at least 20 minutes each day, or as frequently as recommended by your doctor.
  
• You can also use the wedges throughout the day for 10 to 20-minute periods. This is especially beneficial after exercise or physical activity.
  
• The wedges can be used in conjunction with sleeping aids like progressive rolls.

• Place your Inflatable Wobble Cushion on a firm surface chair and use it for stability exercises while seated.
  
• Perform the exercises prescribed by your doctor, which typically involve side-to-side, front-to-back, and rotational movements.
  
• While maintaining control, try to feel your spine moving through the full range of motion. Remember, this is an exercise, so it’s normal to feel your muscles working.
  
• Perform these exercises twice a day, or as instructed by your doctor (in most cases, they can be done more frequently).
  
• The Inflatable Wobble Cushion can be inflated or deflated using a sport ball needle. This allows you to adjust the range of motion.

• Perform cervical warm-up exercises, including twisting, flexing, and extending the head and neck.
  
• Adjust the connection so that the curved piece hangs slightly lower than the back of the head.
  
• Pull the handles down until they are stopped by the curved neck piece, with the handles at shoulder height.
  
• Place the curved piece behind the neck and position the padded handle under the chin or on the forehead. Place one hand on each handle end, with your palms facing the face.
  
• Hold the handles firmly and relax your knees so that some of your body weight is supported by the traction. The traction is controlled by bending your knees.
  
• Start with 10 repetitions and gradually increase to 60 repetitions per session.
  
• Incorporate deep diaphragmatic breathing while using the traction. Exhale completely and forcefully when you release the traction.
  
• If you experience any pain, ice your neck for 10 minutes.
  

• Place the Vertical Pull Adapter over the door and close it.
  
• Pull down on the lower loop of the door stop to ensure that the stopper is securely fastened.
  
• Adjust the height of the adapter so that the curved piece hangs slightly lower than the back of your head. Depending on your height, you may need to tie a knot in the rope to ensure that the Dual-Purpose Cervical Traction Unit is at the correct height.
  
• To adjust the height, remove the Dual-Purpose Cervical Traction Unit and the Vertical Pull Adapter from the door. Then, loosen or tighten the strap on the Vertical Pull Adapter to increase or decrease the strap length as needed.
