Inversion tables do they work? Your back giving you problems again, struggling to just get out of bed and move about? Many people find relief from pain with an inversion therapy. Inversion tables come in two basic types. It's more of a personal preference as there doesn't appear to have significant differences, they both seem to be as effective for achieving effective relief. It may be that one design model might support the user's particular body type better, or in other cases, the choice can be made simply based on aesthetics. The basic designs are the curved back model design and the full back model design.
Comfort levels can be significantly increased by choosing a model with head and back pads. It's also recommended that the handles for the apparatus remain in place on the machine, especially for individuals who may not be in the best of physical condition. Safety, as always, is the main concern when using this piece of equipment. As increased strength, flexibility and confidence in utilizing the machine are achieved, special gravity boots can be added to the equipment so the apparatus is not only a potential back pain reliever, but also a potential strength builder for the body and spine too.
The apparatus is fairly easy to use. If it's your first time it's suggested that someone else be present in case of any problems. This helps reduce the bodily risk to you. The equipment can take a little while to get used to. There are four basic steps involved in using the apparatus.
Step 1: Modifying the table to your height, usually about 1 to 2 inches taller than you.
Step 2: Make sure that both ankles are securely fitted in the ankle holder and that they feel snug in their holder.
Step 3: Achieve your balance for inversion. If the correct balance is achieved, then you should be able to tilt for turning upside down fairly readily. If this is not possible and the table does not move easily, then get off the apparatus and readjust the equipment for a more accurate height setting. Then, remount the apparatus and try inverting again.
Step 4: The final step in using the device is to return the device to an upright position and remove yourself from the apparatus.
As a final note about using an inversion table, they come in a variety of price ranges and are fairly easy to use once you used them a few times. Their ease of maintenance makes them appealing. Three things to remember to keep your table in good working condition. The first involves tightening all of the bolts, nuts and fasteners, especially after the first month of use. Then you want to do this every 3 months or after the first service. Secondly, lubricate all moving parts with a clear, non-oil-based lubricant. Finally, remember to wipe-down the table parts as necessary for cleanliness with warm, soapy water and your equipment should last a long time.
