Inversion therapy can help many people who have spinal compression issues and other back problems. From the time we are born, gravity has its impact on the spine, constantly pulling it down and the result can be compressed vetebra. In order to combat this issue, inversion tables attempt to reverse the compression process by allowing people to turn upside down for limited periods.
Improving circulation
One of the benefits of inversion tables is improving circulation. Blood pumps through your circulation system by going out through arteries and back to the heart through veins. The inversion helps your body circulate the blood with much greater ease.
Range of motion
By hanging upside down for periods of 5-to-20 minutes, your spine gets a chance to resettle in its original position -- or at least closer to that position than it was before beginning the inversion. This will increase your flexibility and and help your overall range of motion.
Spine realignment
The spine is not only impacted by gravity but through every other physical activity and exercise that you do. If you are engaged in running or walking on a hard surface or any sport that involves contact, your spine can get out of alignment. Inversion will help your spine get realigned without any other manipulation.
Improved posture
The inversion process takes pressure off your spine and helps to lessen the impact of gravity. You will stand and sit more comfortably and more prominently. You will also move with greater ease and grace.
Maintaing height
Part of the mpact of the aging process on senior citizens is the compression of the spine and that often results in the loss of height. Senior citizens who were 6-foot-0 as adults often lose an inch or more due to spinal compression. Hanging upside down on inversion table can suspend that process and allow you to maintain your full height.
