Benefits of Using a Gravity Inversion Table

Many people deal with back pain on a regular basis. It is a very common issue and effects people of all ages. Back pain can be caused by poor posture, injury, or other occurrence. One method of tackling back pain is by turning to inversion therapy through the use of a gravity inversion table.

Inversion therapy is the process of hanging in the upside down position or at an inverted angle to reap therapeutic benefits. Hanging upside down may relieve pressure on the spine which is often compressed from our daily activities, particularly when exercising (running, weight lifting, etc.) Even though most inversion therapy products are marketing toward back pain, many people use a gravity inversion table for other benefits.

Some of these benefits include improved circulation, developing core strength without loading the spine, reduced muscle pain, stress relief, and even to help with depression. Although most people use inversion therapy for pain, many claim that it also helps improve their overall quality of life. This may be due to the rejuvenating effect it has by improving circulation and relieving tension and stress.

While there may be several benefits to using a gravity inversion table, there are also risks involved if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or eye diseases like glaucoma. It's important to consult with you physician before starting inversion therapy and also progressing slowly when you do. It's also helpful to have someone with you in case of being unable to release yourself from the table should you experience any problems.
