Inversion Therapy

Inversion therapy involves being upside down or at an inverted angle while hanging by the legs, ankles or feet with the intention of therapeutic benefits. It is a form of spinal traction. Gravity boots are ankle supports designed for inversion therapy.

How does it works?

Clients are literally turned upside-down for seconds to minutes at a time. This method takes the pressure off the spine, bones and even nerve roots.

As gravity work its magic on the body, the spine and the spinal column relaxes (decompresses) and spacing between each vertebrae stretches, thereby reducing pressure on the discs. Standing on our feet or sitting often causes the discs to compress on one another causing pain. Inversion therapy alleviates the pain. Relief is found from the stretch to which the back gets immediate release.

Why is important? (benefits)

• Increases the Nutrient and oxygen to your brain

• Trains your brain capillaries, making them stronger and more capable of bringing oxygen to your brain. More oxygen means better brain performance.
• Helps to restore healthy blood flow to your brain by changing your body position of gravity
• With regular use, you may experience better focus and concentration and a newfound sense of energy
• Heavy, swollen feet and legs almost instantly become lighter and less swollen
