Sinopse
Características

Inversion therapy is a way of decompressing the spine. The discs between the bones of the spine are quite soft & gravity compresses them over time. It's one of the reasons we lose height as we age. The discs get smaller & can leak, irritating surrounding nerves. Decompressing your spine by lying or hanging upside down allows the discs to expand. It also reduces nerve pressure & allows the spine to realign.The father of medicine, Hippocrates, is known to have invented a form of inversion around 400 BC for his patients by using a system of ladders & ropes to relieve pressure on their spines. We are more fortunate today, we don't have to get tangled up in ropes & ladders! We can buy, make, or improvise inversion equipment.It's well worth doing, as inversion has many benefits, not just spinal decompression. It can:Relieve back pain & sciatica - & chiropractic bills!Prevent loss of heightReduce the signs & symptoms of aging (including wrinkles)Improve postureHelp insomniaImprove digestion & eliminationImprove hormonal balanceImprove menstruation & menopause symptomsImprove moodBrighten the complexionIncrease hair growthand more.Inverting is unusual in that it is relaxing yet invigorating. Inverting in the mornings is a great way to start your day; inverting before bed is very relaxing & can help sleep (especially when done as part of a regular bedtime routine).Contraindications: While the benefits of inversion therapy are many, there are people who are unable to invert due to certain health conditions. The main ones are CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, & GLAUCOMA. That's because inversion temporarily raises blood pressure. PREGNANCY is another condition that may mean inversion is - temporarily - not a great idea. To be safe, it really is best to check with your physician before starting inversion - just in case you have an undiagnosed illness that would be contraindicated, or so
