Inversion therapy is used to alleviate back pain.The shooting pains in the back, buttocks, legs and feet can be caused by these conditions.During therapy, you turn your body upside down to increase the space and reduce the pressure on the nerve roots.When used with new back injuries, it can ease back pain in the short-term.An inverted table will allow you to place your body upside down at a gentle angle and work up to a more dramatic position.
Step 1: The table needs to be secured on a flat surface.
All the joints, straps and pivot points need to be connected correctly.In order to avoid a serious accident, do this every time you use the table.Before attempting to use the table, read the instructional manual thoroughly.It is important that all the steps are done correctly.If there are problems when you use the table for the first time, make sure you have a friend with you.
Step 2: When using an inverted table, wear athletic shoes.
When the table is locked into place, they will give you more support.Don't use the table with bare feet.
Step 3: With your back toward the table, step into position.
One step at a time.Pull up the lever with a straight back and lock your feet in place.
Step 4: Put the straps over your body.
Inversion tables can be used to secure your body in place.If they have an ankle bar, body strap or other device, make sure all the safety gears are locked in place.
Step 5: The table has straps on it.
You will push off the straps.
Step 6: When you get up from your inversion, return to a horizontal position for a couple of minutes.
The blood flow will be adjusted by this.Before getting out, slowly return to the starting position.
Step 7: An inverted table can be used as part of a treatment program.
It is only useful for mild relief when it is used to treat chronic pain.Drugs, physical therapy, an exercise routine and even surgery can be used to treat your condition.
Step 8: Whenever you use a table, use gentle movements.
This will keep you pain free.
Step 9: Put yourself in the table.
Push back on the handles.Stay there for a couple of minutes to allow your blood flow to change.
Step 10: To reach a 45 degree angle, push back further.
Stay there for a couple of minutes.
Step 11: Raise your hands above your head to create a better environment.
It's a good idea to be steady in the table before doing this.
Step 12: For one week, work up to five or more minutes at a 25 degree angle.
It will help your body grow accustomed more quickly if you try it twice a day.
Step 13: If you are comfortable with an angle between 60 and 90 degrees for one to five minutes, increase your angle by 10 to 20 degrees per week.
Step 14: You can use the table three or more times a day.
You may need to doversion tables more often to get a benefit from them.You don't need to do a full 90 degree inversion.Some people use a 30 degree angle because it is more comfortable and they still see benefits, while others don't invert more than 60 degrees.
Step 15: You should keep a journal of your pain levels so that you can adjust your routine according to what is working.
You can choose the angle, time and number of reps that work best for you.
