  • Page 5: About Gravity

    ABOUT GRAVITY GRAVITY uses your bodyweight to trigger, compress and relax tight muscles in the neck, spine and pelvis. This triggers your body’s natural ability to relax and realign itself. For best results, it is recommended that you use GRAVITY for around 20 minutes per day, although you may use it for longer if you wish.
  • Page 6: How To Use Gravity

    HOW TO USE GRAVITY Lie down, face up, on a firm surface. A carpeted floor is ideal, but you could lie on a yoga mat, the beach, grass, or a therapy table if you have one. You are welcome to lie on a bed if getting down to floor level is difficult, however please note it may be too soft for GRAVITY to be 100% effective.
  • Page 7: The Keystone

    THE KEYSTONE The keystone is the triangular piece that goes under your pelvis. It is designed to provide different levels of support depending on what your body needs. Level One - Separate the two parts of the keystone and use just the blue silicone piece, placing it under the pelvis.
  • Page 8 FINDING THE RIGHT POSITION The keystone should be positioned before the cradle. Place the keystone under your pelvis, centrally, against your sacrum. The top flat edge of the keystone is marked with the word ‘TOP’. This edge should be positioned in line with the top of the sacrum. The point of the triangle should sit about an inch above the tailbone/ coccyx.
  • Page 9: The Cradle

    THE CRADLE Hold the neck cradle with the word GRAVITY facing you, then place it behind your neck head. Move it around until it feels comfortable for you – small adjustments to both pieces are key. If you are particularly stressed or carry a lot of tension in the shoulders, you may find that they are pushing the cradle towards the head, giving a sense of pressure or discomfort against the neck and head.
  • Page 10: Important Information For Using Gravity

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR USING GRAVITY The soft blue part of the neck cradle should not be removed from the white cradle rocker. To fully benefit from the effects of the GRAVITY system, you should use both the keystone and the cradle at the same time. You may feel pressure as you lie on GRAVITY, but it shouldn’t feel painful.
  • Page 11: Finishing Your Gravity Session

    FINISHING YOUR GRAVITY SESSION When you’re ready, lift your head and remove the neck cradle. You may wish to replace the cradle with a cushion under you head. Next, lift the pelvis or roll onto your side, and remove the keystone. If you used something behind your knees, remove it now too. Lie for a minute or two before rolling onto your side to get up.
