Benefits of Inversion

Posted on April 5th, 2010 in Exercise Equipment,General Health by Connie

Whether you work out on a regular basis, are a top athlete, garden, sit at a desk/are on your feet all day, or lie on the couch watching TV eating bonbons, inversion is your new best friend to a happy healthier life and body.

The benefits are so incredible that I believe every home should be equipped with an inversion table, preferably a Teeter’s Hang Up of course because they’re the best on the market.  Almost everyone can use inversion and benefit from it.  However, there are some exceptions so make sure you research this before purchasing one.

Inversion therapy is typically known as a method to relieve back pain. However it is also successful in reversing other negative effects that gravity has on the body such as circulation issues, height loss, prolapsed organs and general body functions.  In addition, research has shown that many people using a Teeter may significantly reduce their need for  back surgery by over 70%.  Now that’s incredible.

Inversion can also be used as a proactive/preventative approach to help maintain overall health which is my first preference.  Regardless if you live an active lifestyle or not, using inversion on a regular basis is one of the best things you can do for your entire body both physically and emotionally.

Here are a few of the benefits inversion is recognized for helping:

  • Reducing back pain
  • Relieving stress and muscle tension
  • Stimulating circulation and lymph flow accelerating the cleansing of blood and lymph fluids
  • Reducing cellulite
  • Improving posture
  • Strengthening ligaments
  • Increasing flexibility and range of movement
  • The body stretch and align itself

And as we grow older, inversion helps reduce the effects of aging caused by the Force of Gravity such as: Height/posture, functional fitness, prolapsed internal organs allowing them to resume their normal shape and place in the body, increasing oxygen to the brain thus reducing mental deterioration, and relieving varicose veins.

For those who workout, inversion is an incredible tool to assist with recovery time. Athletes prone to stiffness or muscle spasms after a workout can benefit from the lymphatic wash provided by inversion.  Intense muscle activities cause a buildup of large amounts of lactic acid and carbon dioxide, which results in sore muscles.  The faster this waste is cleared, the faster the pain and stiffness disappear.

Honestly, I can’t say enough about inversion. It has positively changed my life allowing me to do whatever I want to do without limitations. Plus it is the best method I know for relieving daily stress.  When I hang upside down I let the stress flow out of me, breath by breath, vertebrae by vertebrae.  After a few minutes, I feel renewed and relaxed.

Are you ready for a much healthier version of you?  If so, look through the inversion models on my site and choose which one is right for you.  It will be the best investment into your health!  And so it is…

My Back Solution using Inversion

Posted on January 20th, 2009 in Exercise Equipment by Connie

My life’s journey has been quite amazing. Throughout the years my experiences have led me to a more natural and holistic lifestyle. And I also learned that I LOVE figuring things out, looking for life solutions rather than masking symptoms. So now I follow what feels right to me intuitively, experience it, and then share my findings with others. One such product is the Teeter Hang Ups.

I have experienced numerous back issues over the years, all the way from pinched nerves & multiple herniated discs, to almost severing my spinal column. Can you identify? So as it goes I sought out Chiropractor care to alleviate my pain and align my spine. While they did alleviate much of my pain the many treatments that followed did not resolve my back problems long term. I had to continue seeing them on an ongoing basis to keep my back operational for typical things like vacuuming, gardening and regular exercising. Being a solution based person this was simply not working for me.

So one morning I asked the universe to show me a way to resolve my back issues once and for all. I just knew there was a solution! And my answer came to me the very next day while I was leisurely flipping though a health magazine. There it was – an inversion table.

Next, I researched inversions tables on the internet to see which ones had the highest consumer ratings. And Teeters won out by a landslide! They were rated easiest to use, moderately priced, and never recalled for a weld problem or any other reason. Plus their customers raved about the results they got from using these inversions tables. So I found a local retailer who carried the Teeter Inversion Table and scored one the same day!

At the time, my spine and upper back were very tight, I couldn’t even bend down to touch my knees or toes which were much further away. These were reoccurring issues with my spine which sent me back to the Chiropractors on a regular basis. I have to tell you that the first day I used my Teeter Inversion table I felt a HUGE difference in my spine, an opening of sorts.

With daily use my upper back and entire spine became more and more relaxed and flexible. By the end of the first week I could do anything I wanted with absolute ease and confidence. I felt so incredible and free! This inversion table literally changed my life! And I have not had any back issues since using it…I am humbled and greatly appreciative for this golden nugget in my life.

So if you have any back issues such as sciatica, tightness, back pain, pinched nerves, or simply high stress in your life this is worth taking a look at. A lot of athletes use inversion also as a form of staying limber and flexible. So why not keep your back healthy and prevent future problems.

In my opinion, every home should own an inversion table to keep their spines aligned and healthy. When the spine is aligned it allows you the freedom to do whatever you want. So what’s not to like!

Here are just a few of the health benefits of using inversion tables:

  • Helps Improve Circulation and Accelerates the Cleansing of Blood and Lymph Fluids which is HUGE for maintaining a healthy immune system.
  • Inversion Helps Increase Oxygen Flow to the Brain increasing the brains ability to function better in every capacity- this is the hardest job for your heart to accomplish due to gravity
  • Inversion Helps to Relieve Stress which is at the forefront of back and health issues

Just check out the innumerable benefits of inversion for yourself. Then just hang around (upside down) for five or ten minutes a day and see for yourself how much better your life and overall health is…and so it is.

This is the unit I have in my own home.  I wanted the choice of using the gravity boots for friends and family that desired to feel less pressure on their ankles.  Also, my son had previously broken  his ankle so the gravity boots allowed him to use the inversion table without any pressure on his ankle whatsoever.  Cool.
