INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
ADJUSTING THE NUBAX
TO FIT YOUR BODY SHAPE & SIZE
Adjusting the shoulder pads
Kneel upright into the Nubax
lift the upper section to your chest so
that the shoulder pads are behind your
arms and to either side of you. Note
how much space there is between the
side of your chest and each shoulder
pad. Adjust each of the shoulder pads
equally using the click buttons on the
frame, closing the gap so that your chest
is held firmly, but is not restricted. Be
sure to adjust the shoulder pads to the
same hole on each side of the frame so
that your body is held symmetrically.
Adjusting the waist belt
page
11
The waist belt governs how far forward
you lean, which affects the amount of
traction you receive. A longer waist belt
is generally required for a shorter
person, while a shorter waist belt is
required for a taller person. It is advisable
to begin with the shortest waist belt
setting and lengthen the belt one hole at
a time until you have a setting that
provides a stretch you feel comfortable
with.* When you first use the Nubax
Trio use a short belt setting until you are
familiar with the leaning forward motion.
The Nubax Trio uses your own body
®
weight and its unique lever action to
provide a gentle, yet strong gradual static
traction to the spine. It is not necessary
to apply additional force by pushing
forward into the stretch position. Once
in the device simply relax and allow your
® bodyweight and the Nubax
TRIO
generate the stretch you require. The
traction is developed by the tension
between the waist belt and the shoulder
pads. It is normal to experience some
Trio and
pressure at the back of the arms and
®
shoulders, and across the hips and pelvis.
If you are unable to find a comfortable
position when you first use the Nubax
Trio, alter your position in the device by
adjusting the shoulder pads and the waist
belt or by adjusting where your knees
are positioned until you find a position
that is comfortable for you.

How to extract yourself from
a stretch
To extract yourself from the Nubax
Trio once in a stretched position:
• Place one hand on the floor, pushing up
to support your bodyweight, whilst
shuffling your knees forward one at a
time. This will alter your centre of
gravity and pull you against the waist
belt, allowing you to easily raise
yourself upward in the frame and into
a vertical position
• Do not try to extract yourself from
®
the frame before coming to a vertical
position, as this is too awkward
As you become more familiar with the
Nubax
with its use, you will be able to simply
lift yourself from a stretched position
with relative ease.
