I got one around Christmas time and I LOVE it. I have chronic back problems (severe injury obtained when I was a teenager) and I've wanted an inversion table for a very long time. Finally got one, and I can't tell you how much I'd wished I'd gotten one sooner!

They used to be extremely pricey, but they are really reasonable any more:

My friend has one and I got to try it a couple of times. It really did help to stretch out my back and increase blood flow - gave me a bit of a head rush after though!

It also kind of looks like a medieval torture rack :)
 
I'll borrow it. I've had bulging discs for years. Couldn't hurt.

And it looks like it would serve well as a sex "toy"

They are really good for that. I recommended one to a member here ... 505, and he said he borrowed one from a friend and he loves it.

My daughter also uses it since she got the clearance from the surgeon to and she said it makes her back feel really good. Although most of her spine is fused together, it helps relax her muscles.
 
So how does it work?

Do you lay across the thing on your belly?
 
I had a bulging disk and was given core exercises to do and they helped me heal completely. This was back in 2002 and I've been pain free ever since.

You choose how far you want to incline (what angle you want) lay on your back, with your feet/ankles between the pegs at the bottom, you velcro them in and tilt yourself backwards. It holds you by your ankles and stretches your muscles in your back and alleviate pressure on your discs, allowing for more blood flow. It only takes five to ten minutes. I wouldn't do it any longer than that.

You can also use it to work your core, but that's for advanced users.

No, you lay on your back with your head pointing towards the floor. Basically all it's doing is letting gravity work the other way on your bones, joints, and muscles, and it eases the pressure, and relaxes/stretches them.

So basically, a visit to your place will fix ALL my problems...
 
Is there a weight limit for this device?

I could see my wife and I utilizing it as a "twofer".

The biggest weight limit I've seen on them is 300lbs. Mine is a weight limit of 180.

ive been needing something like that for my back,ive mostly been doing stretches which have been innefectual and gravity stretches involving holding myself with my arms off the counter and letting gravity stretch my back muscles,the gravity works amazing but my arms arent indestructable,so if i push it maybe 15-20 minutes of stretching which only lessens the pain but not good enough to help it the rest of the day.

A bowflex is a great thing as well.

*cough* There is more to a sex toy than using it on yourself. Like handcuffs, whips, etc...

Ever since I saw this thread I've been thinking about getting one. Well, I just finished ordering one online and it will be here by Wednesday the 6th. Looking forward to pain-free movement and standing! :yes:
