amount of traction recommended (never so much that it causes pain)
•
duration (amount of time) of each treatment
•
hold and relax times if intermittent traction is recommended
•
position
•
number of treatments recommended per week or per day (or the frequency of
treatments)
For lumbar (low back) traction, remove clothing, belts and accessories around the
trunk and lower back area The upper and lower harnesses will stay more secure if
they are in contact with bare skin Therefore, for best results, slip your shirt up and
slide your outer clothing down below your hips or remove them
