NUBAX
TRIO
All users will find that what works for
them may differ slightly from other
people. It may take time to discover
what works best for you. The amount of
times you use your Nubax
the length of time you stretch and the
position that you use are all unique to
you. Practice until you find out what
works best for you. The Nubax
also effective when used as an adjunct
to therapy treatment provided by your
healthcare professional.
By continuously monitoring your pain
and functionality while using the Nubax
Trio, you will get an accurate indication
of your improvement.Please take note of
the following:
How many times a day you use the

Rate your level of pain and functionality
on a scale of 0-10
Alternatively you can use the Patient
Specific Functional Scale (PSFS). This is
a tool to help record and monitor
improvements to your functionality.
Often when improving back conditions
some find that although the amount of
pain that they have does not decrease
rapidly, their ability to partake in
activities may increase and therefore
quality of life is improved.
The idea of the PSFS is to write down
three activities that you are unable to or
are having difficulty doing as a result of
your back condition. These can range
from walking the dog, playing tennis or
Trio per day,
®
lifting a box. Rank each activity on a
scale of 0 to 10 with 0 being unable to
perform the activity and 10 being able to
perform the activity at the same level as
Trio is
®
before the back condition or injury.
Add up the scores out of 30 and keep a
record. After using the Nubax
several weeks re-score the activities and
see if your score total has improved.
®
Keep reviewing your score on occasion
to keep a track of any increases in
functionality that you experience. See
page 15 for a copy of a PSFS.
