BALANCE
CUSHION
Setup, Workout Tips and Care & Safety Guide
Please read before setting up or using your Balance Cushion.

SETUP

1. Remove from box and check for shipping damage. (Note: it is normal
for cushion to have slight creases or fold marks at first.) Do not use
cushion if deep scratches or gouges exist.
2. Your pre-inflated balance cushion is ready to use.
3. If more firmness is desired, allow product to reach room temperature
before inflating.
4. Using an inflation needle, inflate to the desired firmness. Do not over-
inflate. (Inflation needle included.) Do not use air compressor, use
hand pump.

MASSAGE TIPS

1. Place inflated cushion onto chair. Sit upright with sit bones directly on
top-center of cushion.
2. Thighs and shins should be at a 90-degree angle to floor. (If hips
are raised higher than knees, deflate cushion until you achieve a
90-degree angle. If hips are lower than knees, inflate cushion until
you achieve a 90-degree angle.) Adjusting your chair height can also
achieve the 90-degree angle.
3. In proper seated position, the torso should be completely balanced,
the spine should feel long and upright and you should feel the
natural curve in the lower back.
4. Avoid holding your breath while sitting.
