As we have previously discussed, there are several advantages of inversion therapy. Common therapeutic inversion therapy benefits include relief from sciatica and other back pain, increased blood and lymphatic fluids flow, and restoring proper alignment to your spine. However, many people don’t realize how inversion techniques can help with seamingly unrelated injuries, such as foot or arm bruises and sprains.

I bring this up due to a recent conversation I had with someone who experienced a recenty injury that was not related at all to back, neck, or any other joint that most people would typically use an inversion therapy table for - he hurt the front part of the ball of his foot playing basketball.

There are many advantages of inversion tables, which is why so many people are beginning to incorporate inversion therapy into their everyday fitness routine. If you are still wondering if inversion tables do work, then consider the following advantages of such exercise:

Inversion Tables May Help Reduce Back Pain

Over time your muscles, ligaments, and joints are very succeptible to joint pressure created by gravity and by you simply walking around and working out. This pressure builds over time, compressing your discs, ligaments, and muscles into something similar to a big rubber band ball that envelopes your spine. This compression makes it more difficult for your discs to rehydrate and put unwanted and painful pressure on your nerve roots (which run towards the spine through the space between your vertabrae–if that space is compressed then the nerve roots will be affected). There have been many studies that indicate that such issues are factors in the back pain that millions of Americans are forced to deal with each and every day.

One of the biggest advantages of inversion tables is that they can help reduce and relieve these problems caused by the compression of your discs, ligaments, and muscles. By inverting as little as 60% on an inversion table can effectively relieve 100% of the pressure inside your discs (as 60% of your body weight is required to achieve such relief), which is amazing considering that even laying down only relieves 75% of that pressure. This relief in turns helps your discs to recover from the daily stresses of compression and increases that space in between them.

Inversion Table Exercises Can Help Increase Your Overall Health

Inversion therapy helps tremendously in the following:

• Help Stimulate Circulation of both your blood flow and your lymphatic system.  Inverting helps make it easier for your heart to pump blood from your lower body to the heart and then to your brain.  This increases oxygen to your brain and may help slow the deterioration of your brain.  It also helps even more with the circulation of your lymphatic system, which has no pump like your heart and depends 100% on the contractions of muscles and gravity to flush out harmful toxins from your body.
• Helps improve posture by putting your body in line with gravity
• Help get rid of vericos veins by helping to remove the blood from extremeties  and increase blood flow.
• Can increase your flexibility
• Can help build and develope your core muscles

Finally, one more advantage of an inversion table is that using it can help you reduce stress levels significantly.  By inverting, you allow your whole body to stretch very effectively while relaxing, allowing you to concentrate or even meditate and truly relax after a stressful day or workout.
