Hanging Upside Down

Recommended Posts

I have an inversion table in my house that I use almost every day. I have 2 slightly bulging disks (L4-L5,L5-S1) and it is heaven to stretch my spine out.
When you first start using it it seems like you're going to blow blood vessels in your head, but after a few days you adapt and that feeling goes away.
It is also a great way to work your abs if you do crunches hanging upside down.
There are supposedly lots of other benefits, but I just use it for my back.
Hope this helps,
Steve

Super ditto here. Helps immensely with my sciatic pressure from the inflamation in my lower back.

I've been wanting to buy one of those thingamajigs for 2 years now...I might just do it on this next bonus check.

Ahhhhh...how wonderful would it feel to stretch your spine daily...elongate your muscles...ahhhhhhhh...

you become taller, stand more upright, ...it's better than a massage...so I hear:)

I'll try the crunches. Maybe the change in blood flow is good. I don't know. This is starting out to be an afternoon thing with a 2 year old. It's fun. Thanks.
