| Inversion Therapy Table |
Inversion therapy is a treatment method
that involves hanging upside down or at an angle to reverse the effect of
gravity, such that blood and lymphs which get pooled at various points of the
body are released and moved into the core for oxygenation, filtration, and
elimination of cellular metabolic wastes. In other words, inversion therapy
helps in purging the body and improving blood circulation throughout the body.
Inversion therapy has also been shown to relieve pressure on the spine and
lower back, and is finding increasing use in relieving back pain.
Now, the obvious question is, how does one
“hang upside down or at an angle”? Well, doing this is not as tough as it may
sound. With today’s technology, it is possible to safely and comfortably invert
your body to use nature’s force to relieve pain. The inversion table is a piece
of equipment that is designed to help you safely invert your body, without any
expert assistance, and use your own body weight to move tension off your lower
back, and improve blood circulation. The modern inversion therapy table also
allows you to control the angle of inversion, so that you can adjust the angle
that is the best for you. These tables also come with a locking mechanism to
lock the table position at an angle you want.
The most recent advancement in the field of
inversion therapy has been the integration of infrared
heating technology to inversion tables. Infrared light has the ability to
ionize water, thereby leading to enhanced cell metabolism, cellular nutrition
uptake, and excretion of residues. By promoting cell growth, infrared therapy
provides health and beauty benefits such as reduced fine lines, wrinkles,
improved healing of scars, wounds, cuts, and also smoothened skin texture,
lessened coarseness, and reduced pore size. Infrared is also known to improve
blood circulation. Thus, combining inversion therapy with infrared heating
provides an excellent therapeutic as well relaxing effect.
Using
an inversion therapy table: this is as simple as
using a treadmill. Each inversion table
will have its own set of features and can slightly differ in the way they need
to be used. The main steps are: adjusting the table to your height, setting the
preferred angle of inversion, securing your feet onto the table using straps
(or some other mechanism that comes with the inversion table), and then moving
to the inverted position up to the extent you want. Relax and enjoy! You can
stay in the inverted position for a few minutes. The therapy can be repeated 2-3
times a day, and please be careful not to overdo it. Hold the inversion only
for as long as you feel comfortable, and repeat the inversion only as many
times as you feel comfortable. If you
are not comfortable, muscles will get tense and the treatment will no longer be
effective.
We recommend to consult a doctor before
starting inversion therapy. Please do not use an inversion therapy table if you
suffer from osteoporosis, glaucoma, heart disease or high blood pressure, or if
you are pregnant.
