What Are the Benefits of an Inversion Table for Stretching Internal Organs?
Digestion problems, and possibly a growing waistline, may be caused by the natural shifting of internal organs due to gravity. Hanging upside down on an inversion table helps the organs return to their normal position.

Effects of Gravity
-
Gravity eventually takes its toll on the body, especially once you enter middle age. Organ prolapse occurs when the internal organs shift downward due to constant gravitational pull. This causes internal congestion so the body does not function optimally.
Benefits of Inversion
-
Inversion therapy allows the body to stretch by reducing the effects of gravity, creating space for the intestines and other organs. This aids in blood flow to the digestive tract, which speeds digestion and waste elimination, and fights bloating. Proper organ alignment and a healthy digestive system also help to reduce the waistline.

Using an Inversion Table
-
Using an inversion table regularly will fight the effects of gravity and organ shift without physical exercises or difficult yoga poses. The tables work by allowing you to secure your lower legs and release backward into an inverted position.
History
-
Inversion therapy is believed to have started with Hippocrates in ancient Greece. It has also been used in yoga practices for centuries.
Precautions
-
Inversion is not recommended for those with high blood pressure, cardiac or circulatory disorders, glaucoma or other eye conditions, hernia, ear infection, bone weakness, a spinal injury or those who are pregnant or obese. Consult your doctor before using an inversion table.
