Inversion Therapy

I bought an inversion table last year and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made! It is relaxing and beneficial for stretching the muscles and joints, and an excellent lymphatic system cleanser.

 From Wikipedia: Inversion therapy involves hanging upside down or at an inverted angle to use gravity to naturally decompress the joints of the body. In particular, it is often advertised as a relief for back pain. Hanging in this way causes each joint in the body to be loaded in an equal and opposite manner to standing.

 

Inversion therapy is particularly beneficial for the spine in that it relieves pressure on the discs and nerve roots; this in turn allows discs to recover lost moisture and to return to their original shape, decreasing the pressure they can exert on nerves.
