A couple of student at my kwoon said they use an inversion table to help with back pressure. Does anyone use one and is it helpful or hype? Thank you
I've considered inversion boots. I keep meaning to look into what research has been done, but it never makes the top of my research list. I look forward to seeing what others have to say here.
My Sanda Shifu did, however he also hits trees with his palms, elbows, shins and knees too...so I am not sure if this is a good endorsement
That gives the circulatory benefit of inversion, but not the decompression of the spine that can be (theoretically) provided by inversion tables and inversion boots.
I have often wondered if an inversion table's decompression aspect would help with my occasional, heading towards chronic, hip pain.
Me, too. I've had a problem in my right hip off and on (was really bad for a couple of months last year). I've wondered if inversion would help release that, since it seems to be tied to some lower-back issues.
They seem to range in price form $100 to $1000 and the quality varies form model to model to. Next time I am at the Y I think I will see if they have one to try.
Hey, I just realized something, to a lesser extent, I can do this on my TotalGym Put it up to level 6 and hang back and see if it helps, hurts, or does nothing at all
Don't go cheap with an inversion board. Best to start in the mid price range! My wife uses one and loves it!
