Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Posted January 26, 2006 Has anyone tried using an inversion table. It is supposed to be good for posture, back, and circulation. It is also supposed to be good for stress. I was thinking it might be good for any pelvic floor issues and getting circulation to the vulvar. Sound crazy???? Diane Quote
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 Hi Diane and all, The inversion tables are basically a form of lumbar traction and the main reason to use them is to decompress the lumbar spinal intervertebral discs. You will find outrageous claims of all sorts of reasons to use them but the above mentioned reason is the real reason to use one. Unless of course you are trying out for the Batman movie and want to really get into the part. Interestingly enough, if you check early drawings and artwork of Eastern Indian ( not American Indian) women standing on their heads this may have been an early attempt to deal with the natural process of the dropping of the pelvic organs. I would speculate that the effects would be very short lived at best once you return to the upright position.. Personally My siniuses fill up so bad when I am upside donw it feels like my head will explode. TKOPT www.tomocklerpt.com Diane Clagg wrote: >Has anyone tried using an inversion table.
