BFT Instructions

Before beginning this or any exercise program, please consult a healthcare provider for appropriate exercise prescription and safety precautions. The exercise instruction and advice presented are in no way intended as a substitute for medical consultation.

• All exercises are performed barefoot. Inspect your feet before and after each exercise session. If skin irritation occurs discontinue use and consult with your health care professional.
• As with any new exercise program you may feel muscle soreness and fatigue. If any increased pain or swelling is experienced discontinue use and consult with your health care professional.

• Begin using BFT 360 in sitting without socks or shoes.
• Progress from seated to standing exercises as tolerated.
• Begin standing exercises with support to maintain balance and safety. (countertop/ grab bar/ walking poles are good options)
• Begin with large balance pods and progress to small pods for more challenging balance training activities.
• Place balance pod closer to heel for more stability and closer to toes for increased exercise difficulty.
• The small and large balance pods may be placed on each footbed together for increased stability.
• When balance pods are removed the BFT 360 footbeds may be used as exercise gliders on carpeted surfaces.
• Included resistance bands can be utilized for progressive strength training from light to heavy.

• The BFT 360 training device must be used on a flat clean surface.
• The BFT 360 glider can only be used on carpeted surfaces. (a small no-slip carpet runner works well)
• The BFT 360 training device cannot be used for running or jumping activities.
