Tips For Picking The Right Inversion Table


Back pain can be a major nuisance that hampers our routine activities, lifestyles and even keep us from working. One solution to them is the use of inversion therapy. It uses gravity to relax the pressure on your spine and give it the chance to reverse the damage done by years of gravitational compression. What you do is that you use an inversion table to suspend yourself in a partially or fully inverted position. You literally hang by your legs, thereby reducing pressure on your spine and let gravity undo the damage it does combined with poor posture and work habits. You can find inversion tables for sale online, as well as in some shops and warehouses.

If you're in the market for one, here are some things you should know.

• Make sure that you know what kind of table is best for you. There are numerous types of tables for sale so be sure to do your homework about the types of inversion equipment and consult your physician to see which is best for you.

• The backboard needs to be rigid, yet comfortable enough to keep your back straight and well supported because you will be spending some time on it. If it isn't comfortable enough, you might not be able to use it properly, and it might not work for you. You can find various inversion tables for sale with different backboard designs, based on their usage and purpose.

• With the wide range of inversion tables for sale online, you probably have noticed the variations in the arm assists. Arm assists vary based on their purpose, such as short hand grips to help you get on and off the inversion table, or wrap around bars, that help you control the level of inversion as well getting on or off the table. Make sure you pick the right one for you.

• In most cases, you are literally hanging by your legs or feet when you are inverted so having the right ankle restraints is vital. There are three main types of ankle restraints available in inversion tables for sale right now: basic ankle clamps, double foam rollers, and padded locking bars. Each has its own pros and cons and which one is best for you depends on your ankle size, and physical condition.

• Most inversion tables for sale come with add-ons or special features such as heated backboards, easy release handles, motorized-tilt backboards, and Ab Lockout. Make sure you check if the inversion table you are choosing comes with such special features because they add a lot of value to your table.

Whichever tables you choose, make sure you consult your physician before starting inversion therapy, and before going out to buy one of these machines.
