How to Do Parallel Relaxation on an Inversion Table

Video Transcript

"Welcome to Expert Village. My name is Dr. Ed Riffel. The next step is one of my favorites because it is a relaxation movement. We are going to go on my back to a parallel position and the balance is on he sacral two vertebra. We are just going to go back to a parallel position and I can use my arms to do a little rocking movement and then when I find my center of balance I just can hold my hands and just the pulsation of my body will cause just a minute rocking of the body.

For advanced students you will get by without a spotter because you will be an expert at it. We are just sitting there opening and closing the invertible spaces."
