Inversion boards, once highly popular in the 1980's and then nearly disappearing from the health and fitness scene in the subsequent decades, are gaining popularity today at a rapid pace as inversion therapy devices.
The medical community that is still divided in their opinion whether inversion boards and similar inversion equipment will provide benefit when it comes to back or neck pain.
However, the testimonials of hundreds of people who have used inversion boards, gravity inversion table, or similar inversion systems, are highly positive of the benefits of inverting your body and experience spinal decompression, as well as induce a completely unusual muscle tension in your back muscles.
People have reported reduction or disappearance of back pain, stress relief, cessation of joints popping, and of course the common benefits of exercise, such as increased abdominal muscles (six pack abs), improved posture, and more.
If the thought of being inverted is inducing fear in you, you are not alone. We will touch on three common fears that are actually preventing people with back pain, or other ailments, from using an inversion board and from giving themselves a chance at feeling better temporarily or even healing completely.
When you are done reading, even if you still won't be ready to get on an inversion board, you at least will know what fear is stopping you from getting the benefits! The three fears are: The fear of falling down, the fear of getting dizzy, and the fear of the inversion not working for you. Let's see how you can conquer these.
Fear of falling down
This fear probably comes from the fact that, when inverted and locked in the position at your ankles, you don't really have that much control over your motions, and, on top of that, you are hanging freely in the air. That fear is to some extent justified as some gravity inversion table manufacturers even quite recently had to recall their tables due to manufacturing failure that caused falls and injuries in several people.
To conquer this fear, you need to make sure that you are purchasing the inversion board from a reputable manufacturer with good feedback on specialized online sites. Also, when you receive the board, test visually the components and contact the company if you could not completely follow the assembly directions in the assembly manual.
When getting on the table, always start with the minimal, 15 to 30 degree inversion, and only increase it as you continue your inspections and as you feel better about your new inversion exercise.
Fear of getting dizzy
Some people feel that they might get dizzy when in an inverted position, or they feel that inversion will in some other way interfere with their health. It is quite possible, in fact, using the inversion system is contra indicated for a dozen or so of the medical conditions. So if you have a medical condition, you absolutely want to consult with a medical doctor before climbing on to an inversion table.
Will the gravity inversion table work for me?
That, of course, is an universal fear before any purchase that feels like it can not be reversed. First, check the conditions for the return of the inversion bench. Second, while it is impossible to tell for sure that the gravity inversion table will work for you, it is quite certain that it won't work for you if you don't try it, and if you don't follow the regimen of daily or regular use. It is one of those cases of "you pays your money and you takes your chances". Is reducing your back pain worth taking a chance?
