Stress, headaches, joint pains and always complaining about lower back and neck pains? Just take a pain reliever. But what good does a pain reliever do? Yes it does relieve pain but it doesn’t mean that you would be resistant to pain forever. It just a temporarily relief. What you need is a table and a therapy which would reduce stress and pain attacks brought about by work and other strenuous activities. An inversion table is used in inversion therapy.

It is simply a pivoting padded board or bed which allows you to invert in multiple angles or hang upside down by your ankles or simply allowing you to be suspended in a vertical position. Inversion simply reverses the effects of gravity because your feet is higher than your head. Inversion therapy is an alternative medicine and is believed to have existed in ancient times. All I knew about hanging upside down is that it is a form of punishment, maltreatment or abuse to children. I didn’t know that hanging upside down has an advantage. If only we have inversion tables here in my country, I would love to have one because I am stressed, my back and my neck always hurt because of my job. I always complain about joint pains on my knees from walking and I don’t know why does it hurt me, just walking. I finally found the answer. Gravity presses us down when we are sitting down, standing, and walking for hours causes pressure,compression and tension to our spines creating problems to our vertebrae. Inversion releases the pressure and compression since it reverses the negative effects of gravity. Among its benefits are as follows:

Alleviates joint, neck and back pains
Improve blood circulation
Relieves stress and headaches
Improves posture
Reduce varicose veins
Helps aid in body functions

Inversion tables are out in the market usually priced from $200 ranging up to $1000 depending upon the brand and features. The most expensive ones are those motor – operated but you can save on manually operated tables since it is cheaper (and there are some great tables, such as the Teeter Hang Ups F7000S that is pretty inexpensive and very easy to operate). With the benefits of this to our body, it is really worth the price. I would really love to try this out. If your reading this, maybe you would want to try too.

Adding an Inversion Table as part of your Extreme Fitness workouts can bring you great benifits that you may be missing, check one out today.
