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.

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.
