Inversion Benefits
So you think hanging upside down to relieve back pain is some wacky, new-age
idea? Think again. It's documented that Inversion was used as early as 400 B.C.,
when Hippocrates, the father of medicine, first watched a patient have his knees
bound and ankles tied to a ladder to be hoisted upside down for a dose of what's
come to be known as spinal traction.
The Greek theories on inversion are still valid, but today there is a much
easier way to relieve the back pains most people experience from time to time.
The process is called Inversion therapy, and it can be the natural way to a
better back and a better body.
Not only can inversion therapy be used to treat back pain, but it also can be
used as a method to reverse other negative effects that gravity has on your
body. Inversion represents the Quiet Side of Fitness, helping your body to
recover from the compressive effects of gravity and daily activities. Doctors,
physical therapists and sports trainers recognize inversion as a safe and
effective form of therapy for the spine and weight-bearing joints. In fact, the
US Army is writing Inversion into its worldwide physical training manual that
will be adopted for the new millennium.
