For your own safety and the safety of others using your Tuning Board, always follow these safety guidelines, and be sure to also instruct others who will be using your Tuning Board in these safety precautions as well.

1.     Except for a handrail, wall, or other stable support if needed, the board should be placed with plenty of room around it in an area which is free of surrounding furniture or objects, glass windows, sharp corners or surfaces that may cause serious injury if a fall should occur.

2.     Until able to manage the Tuning Board safely, comfortably and with confidence, always have another person spotting you, or use a handrail, wall or other stable support close within reach. For professional use, always spot your client carefully until they are able to manage the Tuning Board safely, comfortably and with confidence. Elderly users should always use the board under adequate supervision or guidance.

3.     Never use the Tuning Board or allow it to be used by anyone under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any medication which could impede one’s sense of balance or cognitive function.

4.     Momentary disorientation may occur when working with balance and the vestibular system. If you ever begin to feel dizzy or unsure of your ability to manage the movement of the Tuning Board, immediately lower your center of gravity by bending your knees and carefully step off of the board. For professional use, if a client begins to feel dizzy while using the board, help them to step off of the board safely.

5.     Where balance has become impeded due to age or physical condition, the Tuning Board should only be used under the close supervision of a qualified therapist until such time as balance is sufficiently restored so that it can be safely used without supervision.

6.     Moisture could cause the surface of the Tuning Board to become slippery. Make sure your feet (or your client’s feet) and the Tuning Board’s surface are dry before using.

7.     Do not use slippery socks when using the Tuning Board; use bare feet or foot coverings with a non-slip surface.

8.     Do not use heavy soled shoes or street shoes on the Tuning Board.

9.     Use bare feet or “bare foot” style shoes for best foot, ankle and lower leg responsiveness.

10.  The above precautions should always be exercised, and this safety information transmitted to all current and future users of your Tuning Board.  

11.  Failure to exercise caution could result in injury. Designer/Manufacturer shall not be liable for injuries resulting from the use or misuse of this product.
