Gravity inversion tables-What brands are good and which are junk? How do you go about starting your regiment?

Question

What kind do you have? Do you think it is good quality? Has it helped your back? Do you need to do a full inversion to get good results or can you just go 1/4 of the way down? How long do you invert for? How many times a day do you do it? Please advise if you think they would help for someone with a degenerated and hernated discs? Do you know of a good book or information about how to do it? Do you start out with just a little inversion for a little time and work your way with more inversion and longer time? Or can you just go full inversion for as long as you can take it? Thank you all for your comments...

Answer 1

Be aware that if you have degenerated or herniated disk you might have weak knees or other connective tissue issues. Inversion is good but only if you are healthy. It is tough on connective tissue.
Find a store that is willing to let you try it and make sure the boots are well padded and comfortble and that you feel secure once inverted. Ease in returning rightside up is important too. Once you try a few then shop for it at the best price or pay a little more at your helpfull fitness store. The few extra bucks can be worth it in service.
