Inversion Tables Fitness Equipment Gym, Workout & Yoga Exercise & Fitness

Inversion tables make gravity work for you instead of against you by reversing your body's position. Now gravity will elongate the spine rather than compress it. This expands the spaces between the vertebrae and reduces pressure on the nerves and discs of the back. Pinched nerves can occur when the nerve endings get compressed between the vertebrae. A few minutes a day on an inversion table will reverse the compression and free those nerves.

There are a variety of different inversion tables to select from, so consider your needs and budget when shopping. The most expensive tables are fully-motorized so it is easy to switch body positions. A manual inversion table may be cheaper, but it will also be more difficult to maneuver yourself around. You may want to spend the extra money for a motorized table if you lack strength and do not have anyone to assist you. Be sure to choose an inversion table that is the right height for you and can hold your body weight. Using a table that is not sturdy enough can be extremely dangerous because it may collapse while you are in the upside-down position.
