What is Inversion Therapy?
An exciting new discovery for back pain sufferers..
Two thousand years ago, Hippocrates, the “Father of medicine†used the 1st form on inversion therapy to help patients with back pain. Since then, literally millions have used this simple technique to reduce or eliminate their pain. Yet it is very unlikely that our doctor has ever recommended it. The fact is most doctors just don’t know about many of these natural or “alternative†treatments.
The idea behind inversion therapy is to reverse the effects of gravity. Since we live on Earth, we are all subjected to the force of gravity on a day-to-day basis. Our muscles and bones help us stand up against it, but over the years, it tends to wear us down-particularly the spine, which is the centre or our upright posture.
An inversion table sits on a swivel and is made to lie on, it’s like a seesaw with a bed on it-only the midpoint of the seesaw is much higher, so if you lean all the way forward you are full upright, and if you lean all the way back, you are upside down. The inversion therapy is gradual though, we start you at about 20-30 degrees to begin with (we don’t turn you upside down straight away!!)
How does it help?
Inversion therapy literally reverses compression caused by gravity-and in part, muscle imbalances. Instead of compressing your discs and making you shorter, inversion therapy-by allowing you to hang upside down-actually stretches the spine out, as well as the muscles supporting the spine ad torso, giving the discs room to reabsorb fluids and move back into their proper positions-eliminating pressure on the nearby nerves.
With the increased spaces between the vertebrae that inversion therapy creates, discs are suddenly relieved of pressure and have room to breathe.
According to clinical studies, inversion therapy is one of the most effective and fastest ways to increase space between your vertebrae. Jesse Cannone who is a leading back pain expert says “I’ve actually had clients tell me that their back pain, pain that plagued them for decades, totally disappeared with just a few minutes of inversion therapy†Other cases completely reversed themselves with just a week of inversion therapy-10 minutes a day of hanging upside down.
