What Are the Benefits of a Slant Board?

Since the 1930s certain medical practitioners and health experts have hailed the benefits of using slant board inversion to improve general health, claiming that the angle helps align the body's organs to insure proper function.

Relieves Pressure

The slant board offers a more comfortable alternative to total inversion in which the person is suspended vertically from the feet. Either the vertical or the slanted position reduces the compression of the internal organs.

More Benefits

Use of the slant board is also purported to increase blood flow and oxygen distribution throughout the body.

Feeds the Brain

One of the most important benefits may be the increase in blood flow to the brain. Some claim that use of the board will improve memory, relieve dizziness and produce relaxation.

Miscellaneous Improvements

Among all the additional conditions that may be eliminated or improved with use of a slant board are sinus congestion, bad eyesight, heart problems, hair loss and cellulite.

Warnings

Certain conditions indicate that the slant board might compromise the patient's health. Among these are high blood pressure, hemophilia, cancer, appendicitis, ulcers and pregnancy.
