We got one last night, which I used last night as well as this morning. Last night I got a headache...perhaps I came up too quickly. This morning I came up slowly. I got it hopefully to banish a sciatica problem. Thanks, Jerri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blood pressure goes up when I'm around doctors; otherwise when I check it at home it's really good. Today, my back felt so good and I had more energy, after three days of using this just for a couple of minutes three times a day that I decided to move furniture and take a 30 minute hike in the woods. A couple of hours later the sciatica started acting up again but is better now. Time will tell.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 An inversion table looks much like an exercise machine. You lie on it and invert your body (head down) to varying degrees. You can hang totally upside down. It stretches your body using gravity. Your feet are locked in. A lot of people swear by them for back problems and neck problems. After just a few times I can see why. I've had sciatica off and on for ten years. It started when I was at gym using the leg press. Yoga would keep it at bay most of the time, but if I didn't keep up yoga asanas or if I lifted or moved furniure, etc., it would come back. I've only been hanging totally upside down for 1 - 2 minutes at a time, which really helps. You should google and read up on them. I was trying to find someone else who uses one to compare notes. There are certain medical conditions where you shouldn't use them. I thought about taking a picture of my husband using it last night and putting it on my blog. I will soon. He has no problem doing head stands in yoga. This is the headstand without the pressure of holding yourself up. I also read about yoga slings. You will also have to google the yoga slings to see for yourself.
