The inversion table operates like a balanced pendulum on an exle.It reacts to small changes in weight
distribution. When you begin using the unit, take special care that you have selected the correct maxi-
mum incline angle (if desired). Asking for the assistance of a second person to stabilize and rotate the
table may be helpful the first time you exercise with the unit.
Advantages of use
Inversion training can have many advantages, just a few of which are listed in the following:
• Relief of back pain
In most cases, gravity is a factor in back pain. Pressure on spinal discs decreases
the distance between vertebrae, restricting mobility and increasing the risk of pinched
nerves. Inversion therapy is an easy way to prevent this from happening and to coun-
teract the negative effects of gravity. Hanging upside down at an angle of 20°- 90°
eases pressure and allows your spinal discs to return to their natural form and your
vertebrae to an optimal distance from one another.
• Improved posture
When a vertebra slips, the ligaments and muscles that support it prevent it from re-
turning to its original position. Lying down, the pressure on your vertebrae is reduced
to 25% of its normal intensity. The pressure can be reduced to zero by lying on the
inversion table at an angle of 60°. Reducing pressure to the vertebrae and slightly
streching can correctly align your vertebrae. In addition, inversion also relieves joints,
improving the supply of nutrients and oxygen.
• Counteract shrinking due to gravity
Spinal discs absorb and release moisture. In the course of a day, spinal discs are
squeezed and dehydrated like a sponge. In fact, ahealthy spinal disc will shrink up to
20% each day. During sleep, spinal discs recover due to the relief of lying down. As
a person progresses in age, permanent shrinking may occur. Inversion can help to
return moisture to spinal discs by reducing the pressure they are subject to.
Exercise caution during use
Despite its many advantages, invresion therapy or using an inversion table is not right for everyone. If
you have one of the following symptoms, consult a physician before using the product (the following
list contains only examples and is in no way exhaustive):
