Inversion table - what is it and why is it needed?

Various simulators, sporting equipment and gymnastic sticks for improving posture have long been known to every second inhabitant of the planet. And what is an inversion table and what is it for? Let's try to find out.

The inversion table has its indications for use: stretching the spine and back muscles, as well as maintaining growth. Almost all adults during their lifetime lose from one to fifteen cm of their own growth. The reason for this is the thinning of intervertebral discs. These disks, as well as the entire human body, are 90 percent water. By the age of seventy, the content of liquid in them has been reduced by 70 percent. How to maintain the normal level of fluid in the intervertebral discs and the mobility of the body, thereby prolonging its youth?

Regular active activities on such an adaptation, as an inversion table, will help you reduce the inevitable decline in growth. As a result of regular lessons on the inversion table, beneficial changes occur in the human body - the brain is more actively saturated with oxygen. This helps improve the cerebral circulation and its work, as well as supporting all its functions throughout life.

Another useful result of training on equipment such as an inversion table will be the prevention of varicose veins. During the exercises on the simulator, the outflow of blood from the lower limbs will occur. This will prevent it from stagnating. As a result, the blood circulates faster and more efficiently in the body, thereby reducing the risk of varicose veins.

Strengthening the ligaments is another pleasant consequence of studying on the table. During exercise, careful stretching acts on the ligaments and connective tissue, while helping to protect the trainee from serious injuries.

Like any sport and fitness, classes on the table guarantee the fight against stress. After all, it is this unpleasant component of modern life that can cause spasms of the muscles of the back, knees and shoulders, as well as the appearance of migraines and other health problems. Emotional stress causes muscle, it causes pain and spasms, oxygen supply to tissues and brain decreases, circulation of blood and lymph slows. Turning the body on such an aggregate as an inversion table is carried out at least 25 degrees, so even after several minutes of exercise, the muscle tension is weakened and the movement of the lymph is accelerated. The brain and body tissues are saturated with oxygen.

How to engage in inversion table mechanical equipment? The gradualness of classes is important. Adjusting the angle of the table during training will ensure that there are no sudden reversals. Gradual increase in the angle of inclination according to a special technique allows to achieve maximum results without injuries.

The table can be used by athletes who are injured, as well as in various sports that carry a heavy load on the spine and muscles, or for people who put their back on the back of a heavy load. At home, the table is easy to use, it is convenient and compact, as it is folded for storage, and a cover made of nylon can be periodically washed with powders and brushed.

The components made of high-quality materials, stable and reliable design of the table provide a comfortable occupant and guarantee safety during classes. Such tables are equipped for greater reliability with special seat belts, through which you can easily and quickly change the position of your body and roll over. Usually on such tables it is possible to deal with people weighing up to 120 kg.
