Stamina Gravity Inversion Table

Studies show that inversion therapy has numerous positive effects on the body that help you live more vivaciously and age more gracefully. Add the Stamina® Gravity Inversion Table to your home fitness routine to get relief from many forms of back pain, improve circulation, or decompress after a workout or a stressful day. The Gravity Inversion Table's pivot arms rotate smoothly to invert up to a full 90 degrees, while the heavy-duty steel frame and durable nylon bed provide stable support. When not in use, fold it away and store it. The Gravity Inversion Table gives you the features you want and need for an effective home inversion therapy program.

Physical Benefits:
Almost all of the causes of back pain, including poor posture, spine misalignments and weak back muscles can be attributed to the natural force that gravity puts on your body. Inversion therapy will turn gravity into a force that works for you by allowing you to hang upside down. This allows your body in line with the downward force of gravity, which will increase the space between your vertebrae, relieve pressure on the areas in your back that are in pain, such as the discs, ligaments and nerve roots.

Inside your body the discs separate your vertebrae which is vital as all communication between your brain and your body occur through nerve endings that pass through this vertebrae. Insufficient distance between these vertebrae can cause pressure on these nerve endings which causes back pain. Inversion therapy has been proven to lengthen the space between these vertebrae each session to eliminate the pain that this pressure may cause.

Sitting for a prolonged period of time and/or slouching while seated takes the spine out of its natural alignment and causes discomfort and pain in all areas of the back. During inversion therapy, the downwards gravitational force allows your body to comfortably reconfigure into its natural s-curve shape. This realignment will also reduce the pain that comes from siting in an office chair all day.

Visual Benefits:
Inversion therapy has been shown to improve circulation throughout the body. The human heart generally has to work against the forces of gravity to retrieve blood from the legs and lower torso. The inversion process eases the stress on your heart during this process and can also lead to many long term aesthetic benefits.

The average human body will shrink as an individual reaches an advanced age due to shrinking discs within the body. This shrinking can range from minimal to a couple of inches, however it does not need to occur. Inversion therapy helps maintain the health of these discs which allows individuals to maintain more of their original height.

The ease of circulation during inversion therapy also helps rid the body of varicose veins. These veins can cause pain due to the pressure of pooling blood on the veins, however they are also quite unattractive. Hanging upside down on an inversion table gives the heart gravity's assistance to pull the pooling blood out of the veins and circulate in throughout the body. The elimination of this pooling blood will help ease the pain and get rid of these unsightly veins.

Mental Benefits:
Inversion therapy is not a high stress exercise, however it is known to have similar and even greater mental benefits then exercises such as weight lifting or running on a treadmill. Just as with those other exercises, endorphins are known to be released during inversion therapy. These endorphins are the bodies natural response to many exercises that help reduce pain and cause a feeling of elation. The release of these endorphins, along with the relaxation time that inversion therapy can provide, will help you feel happy and relieve stress.

It has also been argued that inversion therapy can help its users fight the battle against depression. The results caused by the inversion table can be directly linked with the release of endorphins as well as the elimination of pains, however it has been shown that the relaxation and the time to recharge the body on the inversion table can help nullify the feelings of depression as well. In March of 2007, Rosie O'Donnell helped familiarize many people with this means of dealing with depression as she said helped get over her depression by using inversion therapy along with antidepressants.

Instead of collars around your ankles, the Gravity Inversion Therapy Table features the leg lock which is less restrictive, yet fully secure. Heel holders cup the back of the ankle and heel, and soft, thick, adjustable foam pads secure snugly against the front of the ankle.

Adjustable tether strap prevents inversion past a chosen angle
To change position, foam-padded handlebar returns are easy to reach from any inversion angle.

Folds for easy storage.

Stitched nylon support pad with sturdy steel frame construction.
Skid-resistant rubber floor protectors maximize the stability as you mount, dismount and invert.

Anchor knob interconnects structurally with height adjustment beam that is clearly marked in centimeters and inches.

Three adjustment settings on the pivot arm to control rotation speed.
