Thread: Inversion Tables - Who uses one?

G'Day Mate.
I have one permanantly set up in the lounge.
Don't use it often enough but.
Price ranges drastically as you have probably found out.
Tips:
Make sure all the pivot points and catches are locked in before you tip yourself.
Shorten the tilt limiting strap more then you think it should be. It doesn't take much to go from not enough to helpI'mstuckgetmeupnow!
Until you get decent ROM/ strength back, make sure someone is nearby to assist if something goes wrong.
Start slowly, a few minutes/ degrees tilt at a time until you get used to the increased blood pressure in the head. Pressure headaches suck!
Even the exxy ones (~$500) will pay for themselves with savings from the Chiro/ Physio and Quality of life.

ahhhh for a moment there I thought you were talking mathematics.....

Yeah, and don't get me started on the periodic table.

i have both an inversion table and the nubax, the nubax is more effective for me and each to their own , don't get head pain from it , just tingly fingers.

I'm not a physio, and I'm not trying to overrule your physio, but I too have a back that's rotten with arthritis. My most effective self help exercise is a 40 min walk. I know everyone's problem is different and one man's cure etc, but my physio reckons walking is tops for doing it yourself, and experience has shown it to be true in my case.
Don.
