Gravity Inversion Therapy - My Experience

Gravity Inversion Therapy - My Experience


Gravity Inversion Therapy is designed to reverse the pressure your body has on it most of the day. Of course, anything I write here should be verified by a doctor as being safe for you. For myself, this has done wonders.

Years of weight lifting left me with back problems, not to Mention all kinds of joint problems. I spoke with doctors, got MRI's and all the stuff you're supposed to do to diagnose and treat back pain.

I was hesitant on surgery, as most of my family has had back surgeries and always cautioned me to not have it if I could avoid it. Pain medications also were not in my plan, as I don't like having to rely on taking pills every day.

I did see a chiropractor a few times but got no relief and was frankly a little worried about all the twisting he did with my back. This may be great for some people, but not for me.

Along the way, I noticed that the pain decreased when I got pressure off of my body. Laying in bed, for instance, would help a bit as would stretching. One Saturday morning I came downstAirs to a commercial for inversion tables. It all clicked for me right there and then.

At the time, I didn't have the money for an inversion table so I tried on my own to duplicate the effects. I used my dip, or parallel bars to hold myself up with the palms of my hand. The relief was immediate, but holding that position for more than a few minutes is tough.

Once I realized that I needed a device of my own, I started saving. Eventually, I did get a table and it did me a lot of good. Mainly, it allows me to use Gravity Inversion Therapy to take all the pressure off my joints and spinal column.

There's all kinds of science to back this up, including theories that taking pressure off of the spinal column allows the delicate discs to re-hydrate. I can't speak to specific scientific justifications for why, but I do know that Gravity Inversion Therapy is helpful to me.

If you decide that it's for you, I wish you the best of luck. If you found my article helpful, please click on my link below for more information.
