BE HEALTHY AND PRETTY WITH UNCLE

Therapy for Your Healthy

November 6, 2009

When the body’s weight is suspended from the lower body rather than borne on the hands as in handstands or headstands or hanging from a bar with arms at sides, which are also forms of inversion, the pull of gravity may decompress the joints of the body below the anchor. Hanging by the feet, as with gravity boots or inversion tables causes each joint in the body to be loaded in an equal and opposite manner to standing in an identical position of joint alignment.

Inversion therapy of this sort is often commercially advertised as a relief for back pain, but it is not widely regarded as a serious treatment. You can start doing inversion therapy as well with teeter hang ups.
The Teeter Hang Ups EP-550 Sport Inversion Table is great for all your inversion therapy needs. It comes with gravity

boots and traction handles that allow for manual decompression beyond the gravity pull. Inversion therapy is particularly beneficial for the spine in that it relieves pressure on the discs and nerve root. This in turn allows discs to

recover lost moisture and to return to their original shape, decreasing the pressure they can exert on nerves. It is great for all athletes and everyone else. There is also the Teeter Hang Ups EP-950 Inversion Table comes with a knee-high ratcheting handle that allows you to fasten your feet into the table

without reaching all the way to your ankles. This table is especially made for people who have back pain.
