IMPORTANT
FLEXTEND® INFORMATION
MUST
READ BEFORE STARTING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
- Always
consult your Physician before starting any
type of exercise program. Bring
FLEXTEND®, attachment systems and
Instruction Manual/Exercise Therapy Guide
with you to assist the Physician / Therapist
in recommending the correct exercise program
for your condition.
- Carefully review the
written instruction manual (on the computer CD)
and video before using this product .
FLEXTEND® and its attachments/kits
are for use by adults who have read the instruction
manual and understand how to use the FLEXTEND ® Training
Systems properly. (If you have a Macintosh computer,
you will need a written paper manual. Please
call to receive one free.
- The exercise programs
should be followed as described in the Computer
CD or Written Instruction Manual unless something
different is recommended by your Physician or
Therapist . You can find all of the
exercise programs on the Written or Computer
CD Manual that was provided with FLEXTEND® or
its attachment systems.
- If you have pain WHILE
PERFORMING any of the exercises, stop immediately
and contact a Balance Systems Clinician!
- DISCLAIMER :
The FLEXTEND® Training System,
it s attachments and/or /programs are used to
exercise the fingers, hands, wrists, forearms,
elbows, shoulders, chest, back, biceps, triceps
and forearms and are not intended as a cure for
any type of disease.
- All FLEXTEND® come
pre-assembled with one Black Resistance Band. If
further resistance is necessary, tighten the
resistance band. The orange tubing
is for Extreme Resistance and is not recommended unless
you have been using FLEXTEND® for at least
8-weeks . ( Refer to the Instruction Manual,
Page #3, Choosing the Correct Fulcrum Point .).
- The FLEXTEND® attachments
and kits come ready for use and with
their own instructions for use.
- Muscle Rebounding
is a protective response that affects approximately
5% of FLEXTEND® users within the first
2 weeks of starting an exercise program .
This response usually follows within 1-3 hours after
performing the exercises with symptoms
such as muscle spasms, cramping, or feeling
the need to massage and/or stretch the muscles.
When an injury has been present for any significant
length of time, the body eventually adapts
and perceives the condition as normal. Thus
any attempts to correct the condition causes
the body's natural defense mechanisms to react,
or in this case, the muscles to "rebound" (tighten,
cramp). Individuals experiencing Muscle Rebounding
might assume that reducing the amount of exercises
will help, though this is exactly the opposite
of what needs to take place: Each
time Muscle Rebounding starts, immediately
perform 2 sets* of Palm-Up Isolated (pg. 31 ) in
order to counteract this response.
- At the end of the
first two weeks on the exercise program, you
should feel some improvement of your symptoms .
If you do not feel improvement, use the FREE
In-House Clinician service for guidance and
an Extended Money-Back Guarantee !!!
Consult your physician
before beginning any exercise program. |
