we recently purchased an inversion table in an attempt to remedy back troubles. i’ve had a pinched nerve since october of last year, and recent stressors haven’t helped any.
you basically get on, clamp your ankles in the holder and lay down. if you put your hands above your head, the table falls back further and pressure is released from the spine. this is supposed to be done twice a day and at the same time each day, preferably.
so, you lay, suspended by your feet, for five to seven minutes and then pull yourself back up when you’re done. but, not too fast! the instructions clearly state that if you get dizzy upon standing, you’re doing it wrong.
