Many times in life we take things for granted, instead of questioning them and choosing to go "off the beaten path". Gravity is one of such things. We think it is just normal that our spine needs to be compressed due to gravity. Imagine, for 99.999% of your life, your body has been in the upright position, or horizontal at best. Unless you are an astronaut, for 99.999% of the time, your spine has been highly compressed.

Why give your spine and your back a break with the inversion bench therapy?

There are many reasons for back or neck pain. From my experience, especially lower back pain could be psychological, for instance a consequence of stress, or an emotional event in the past that caused the muscles to contract and stay unnaturally contracted, hence causing pain.

The in-spine pressure measurements on volunteers have shown that your spine is fully compressed when walking, standing up, and even more compressed when sitting down which is how most of us spend our time these days. Such as sitting in front of the computer screen! The measuremets even showed that about 25% of the full spine compression is still present while we are sleeping. So we never really gave your spine "a break"!

Compression of the spine is a good thing as it keeps our spine in the proper shape at all times. But on the other hand, you need to give your spinal disks a break from time to time, so they can recover from constant compression.

Getting an inversion bench can give your spine a well deserved break. In fact, to achieve a full decompression, you don't even have to invert the full 100% or 90 degrees. Turns out, you can just invert to somewhere between 45 degrees and 60 degrees to have your spine fully decompressed.

In the next section we will discuss some of the fears people have that prevent them from using the inversion therapy table, or inversion table and how to allow these fears to dissolve.

We will explore benefits of inverting for back and neck problem sufferers in the section on using back inversion tables next.

We will also go into more details on benefits of using an inversion stretch table.
