Back Inversion Tables - Do They Work? - Weightloss and Wellness

Back Inversion Tables Reduce Back Pain and Stress

Back Inversion Tables are a great way of reducing back pain. Back strain and pain will greatly decrease when inverted fully.

In this position one needs to gently rotate the head from side to side to obtain maximum benefits.

It is important that you perform exercises while being fully inverted only when you’re feeling comfortable.

In the beginning, if the body is not used to doing exercises, you will end up with sore muscles. But these will disappear after a couple of sessions.

Gradually increase the difficulty of your exercises, much like you would do in Aerobics, Pilates or Yoga.

There are numerous inversion table models on the market.

When buying an inversion table, look for the features included, such as Tether straps, and Traction handles.

Make sure the design is sturdy. As with any equipment piece higher prices usually mean better machines.

Purchase the table only if the movement is smooth. Buy only Teflon coated rollers for durability.

A recommendation is to wear gravity boots. Gravity boots give ankle support during the workout on the inversion table.

Back inversion tables relieve pain and strain from the back. Especially effective when used after cardio vascular workouts.

Some of the most popular models are:

Teeter EP-560 EP-960 and EP-970
Innova ITX9600 and ITM4800
Ironman Fitness Gravity 400
Merax
Exerpeutic

Do a comprehensive research into the quality and the expense of the various inversion tables available in the market before deciding which back inversion table to buy.

Therefore it is critical that you read product reviews online. Some companies will offer extended warranties and will send educational DVD’s on how to properly use your inversion table.
