Relax Overworked Muscles

Relieve Stress and Tension
-
Tension in the back and neck can cause headaches, muscle cramps and spinal misalignment. Using an inversion bed is an effective way to reduce muscular tension---and a great way to relax.
Stimulate Circulation
-
Normally the cardiovascular system fights gravity to retrieve blood from the legs and lower body. Using an inversion bed allows the body to work with gravity to ease the circulation process.
Improve Core Fitness
-
A strong core is essential for a pain-free back. Inversion encourages proper posture and back alignment. Active inversion works well with crunches and other core-strengthening exercises.
