Using Vitality™ takes about 30 seconds to set up and 15 minutes to run. Here's exactly how it works from the first time you take it out of the box to your daily routine four weeks in.
First Time Setup (Day of Arrival)
When your Vitality™ arrives, you'll find the device, a wireless remote, a USB-C charging cable, and a quick-start guide inside the box. Before your first session, plug it into the included USB-C cable and let it charge for about 2 hours that's a full charge, good for 8–10 sessions. You'll see a small indicator light on the device shift from red to green when it's ready.
While it charges, take 30 seconds to remove the protective film from the EMS pads on the underside of the device. These are the soft electrode patches that sit against your lower back during the EMS portion of the session.
🛋️ Your First Session (Step-by-Step)
Step 1 Choose your spot.
Vitality™ works on any flat surface: a couch, a bed, a yoga mat on the floor, even a reclined office chair or car seat. The flatter the surface, the better the traction works. Most first-time users start on the bed or couch.
Step 2 Position the device.
Lie down on your back. Place Vitality™ underneath your lower back so the contoured curve aligns with your natural lumbar arch, roughly at the small of your back, just above your hips. The device should feel snug against the natural curve of your spine. It shouldn't feel like it's pushing your back up uncomfortably, if it does, slide it slightly higher or lower until it nests in naturally.
Step 3 Power on with the remote.
Pick up the wireless remote and press the power button. The device wakes up with a soft confirmation tone.
Step 4 Choose your therapy.
You have three independent controls:
Air Traction: Choose intensity 1–20. Start at level 3–5 for your first session. The air bags inflate rhythmically, lifting your lumbar curve in gentle waves. You'll feel a soft, pulsing lift.
EMS Pulse: Choose one of 8 modes (gentle massage, deep release, knead, tap, etc.) and intensity 1–20. Always start at level 1. You'll feel a soft buzz, like a phone vibration against your back. Build up only as your body invites it. Most users settle between levels 5–8 within their first week.
Heat: Choose 1 of 3 heat levels (low, medium, high). Start at low. The heat takes about 90 seconds to fully build.
You can use all three together, or just one or two. There's no "right" combination, experiment with what feels best.
Step 5 Relax.
Close your eyes, breathe slowly, and let it work. The session runs for exactly 15 minutes and auto-shuts off when finished, no timer to set, no clock to watch.
Step 6 Stand up slowly.
When the session ends, don't pop up immediately. Take 30 seconds to let your spine settle, then stand up gently. Most first-time users describe a "taller, looser" sensation in their lower back as they stand.
Your First Week
For the first 7 days, do one session per day, either in the morning to loosen up before work or in the evening to decompress before bed. Most customers find evening sessions easier to stick with because it pairs naturally with winding down.
Don't expect miracles on Day 1. A small percentage of users feel immediate relief, but the majority notice meaningful change between Day 9 and Day 14 of consistent daily use. Your discs need time to rehydrate, and your muscles need consistent reminders to release.
Week 2–4 (Building the Routine)
Once you're comfortable with the device, you can:
Add a second session, many users do one in the morning and one before bed
Increase intensities gradually, most experienced users settle around traction level 8–12, EMS level 6–10, heat level 2
Try different surfaces, once you know what works, you can use it almost anywhere
The 15-minute auto-shutoff means you can fall asleep with it on, it'll end the session and power down automatically.
Charging & Maintenance
Charge when the indicator light starts blinking (usually after 8–10 sessions)
Recharge time: about 2 hours via the included USB-C cable
Clean the EMS pad surface every 2–3 weeks with a slightly damp cloth (no soap, no alcohol)
Storage: Keep at room temperature. Avoid extreme heat or cold.
Important Read Before First Use
Do not use if you have a pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, spinal cord stimulator, or any other implanted electronic device
Do not use if you are pregnant
Consult your doctor first if you have a history of spinal surgery, severe sciatica, herniated discs, or any diagnosed acute back condition
Discontinue use if you experience sharp pain, numbness, or unusual discomfort during a session
Vitality™ is a wellness device, not a medical treatment, results vary by individual
First-Timer Tips
Hydrate. Drink a glass of water before and after each session. Hydrated discs respond better to decompression.
Don't oversize the intensity early. Most beginners want to crank everything to "max" on Day 1. Don't. Build up gradually, your back has been compressed for 9+ hours a day for months. Easing in works better than overwhelming it.
Be consistent. Daily use for 30 days outperforms aggressive use for 5 days. Build the habit first.
Pair it with a routine. Use it during your evening show, your morning podcast, or your wind-down before bed. Anchoring it to a habit you already have makes it easy to stick with.
