Traction Positions

Top edge (fulcrum) of traction unit should contact:

1. upper neck (just below base of skull)

2. mid-neck (2 finger widths above the large “boney bump” at bottom of your neck)

3. lower neck (just above the large „boney bump” at bottom of your neck)

Traction Instructions

 Place traction unit under your neck for your specific position noted above.

 As a guideline, start at 2-3 minutes per day and add 1 minute each day until you reach 20 minutes.

Tips & Points to Remember

 Increase the duration of your stretching as quickly as possible. It is alright to progress more than 1

minute per day if you feel like you are not being challenged.

 It is normal to have mild - moderate discomfort or stiffness during and after using the traction unit.

 Try not to go beyond your personal limitations. If uncomfortable pain occurs for more than 10

minutes after stretching, apply an ice pack to area of soreness for 15 minutes.

 If you experience aggressive pain, headaches or dizziness, reduce your stretching time. If the

symptoms continue to occur, discontinue use of the traction unit and notify Dr. Rob.

 Using your traction unit a minimum of 5 times per week will provide the best chance for:

restoration of your normal spinal curvature, reversal of spinal degeneration, and nervous

system optimization. Basically, better curve = better health! So, as Nike says: “Just Do It”!
