We are delighted to introduce the latest gadget to our range of non-invasive natural treatments at the Oxygen Centre in Plymouth. Ever heard of an Inversion Table before?
If you have ever experienced back pain or various conditions exacerbated by poor posture, this might be just the type of natural treatment you are looking for.
So, let’s explore further exactly what an Inversion Table does, and the benefits that it can bring to your body, and quality of life.
What Is An Inversion Table?
An inversion table is a piece of equipment that is designed to help relieve pressure on the spine and reduce back pain by allowing the user to hang upside down or at an inverted angle.
The device typically consists of a flat padded table that is mounted on a pivot and is supported by a frame. The user sets the height, sets the angle and lies on the table and secures themselves with ankle straps, and then uses their body weight to control the degree of inversion. This can locked at a specific angle or left for full inversion.
When the user is inverted, the force of gravity is reversed, which can help decompress the spine, increase the space between the vertebrae, and reduce pressure on the nerves and discs in the back. This can provide relief from conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis, and can also help improve posture and flexibility.
Inversion tables are available in a range of designs and can be used by people of all fitness levels. However, it is important to use the equipment properly and under the guidance of a trained professional, as incorrect use can lead to injury.
Inversion Table Benefits
An inversion table can provide a range of benefits for those suffering from back pain or seeking to improve their spinal health. It’s non-invasive and a natural treatment that works.
Here are some of the potential benefits of using an inversion table:
- Spinal decompression: Inversion tables can help to decompress the spine by increasing the space between the vertebrae and reducing pressure on the discs and nerves in the back. This can provide relief from conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica, and spinal stenosis.
- Improved posture: Regular use of an inversion table can help improve posture by elongating the spine and reducing the effects of gravity on the body. A great solution for those that are sat at a desk all day.
- Increased flexibility: Inversion tables can help to increase flexibility by stretching the muscles and ligaments in the back and improving range of motion.
- Improved circulation: Inversion tables can help to improve blood flow and oxygenation to the brain and other organs by reversing the effects of gravity on the body.
- Reduced stress: Inversion tables can help to reduce stress and promote relaxation by releasing tension in the muscles and promoting a sense of calm.
- Better digestion: Inversion tables can help to improve digestion and alleviate constipation by promoting peristalsis, or the movement of food through the digestive tract.
