What are your guys' opinions on how much traction to start with?
How many rest days should I incorporate?

I am about to receive my 1800g tension spring device.

My current plan:

Week 1: 300g for 1 hr at a time
Week 2: 300g for 2 hr
Week 3: 300g for 3 h
4: 300 for 4

MONTH 2
Week 5: 600g for 5 hr
6: 600 for 6 hr
7: 600 for 7 hr
8: 600 for 8 hr

Month 3
Weeks 9-12: 900g for 8hr

Month 4: 1200 for 8hr
Etc. etc.

Does this schedule sound too aggressive?

That is actually a very conservative schedule, so it will be very safe for you.

I would suggest testing the tension of your device at various points (hopefully it has markings), as they don't always match up to specs.
This is an emotionally destructive condition, we all have it, let's be nice to each other.
