NATURAL ORTHOPAEDIC INVERSION SPINE TRACTION or in short, GRAVITY INVERSION, has been known since Hippocrates - the father of Medicine.
A wide range of benefits can be named and they are all scientifically backed up and proven:

1 ) Effective relief from many causes of BACK & NECK PAIN .

2 ) Relaxation of tensed up muscles and mind - the 1st step in any spine therapy. Inversion is hailed by many alone due to its calming and stress alleviating effect. Research has proven (NOSSE 1980, EMG- controlled study), whenever our head is lower than our feet, within 70seconds - based on a central reflex - muscles relax.

3 ) Blood- and lymph circulation are activated. There is a proven coincidence between Venous Stasis and Lower Back Pain. Thanks to an improved blood flow in an inverted body- position, strained spine- structures recover. Varicose veins tone again. 25 % more oxygen becomes available to the brain - incl. our gatekeeper for the hormonal balance, the pituitary gland. Improved hair- growth is just a nice long term benefit for some.

4 ) "See- Sawing" or rhythmic traction by moving the body's centre of gravity - moving stretched arms as levers - strengthens muscles and provides a balanced posture. Being completely up-side-down, sit- ups can be practised without damaging the discs, which definitely is happening by one-sided compression when practising the "crunch"

5 ) Spine - alignment - exercises by Inversion benefit scoliose patients and support manipulations.

6 ) The Immune System is boosted by an improved blood- and lymph- circulation .

7 ) Reduced stress levels.

Compression fatigue is the result of an increased downward load on muscles, joints and the spine by most physical activities like sports, workouts, bending, lifting, extending, sitting and even standing over a time. Rotational fatigue results from one sided lifting or activities such as golf, tennis or bowling.

INVERSION THERAPY REDUCES: back pain, muscle spasms, compression and rotational fatigue and the effects of ageing. Many are experiencing Inversion Therapy as a new lease for life
