Only when the spinal column is in good health, can the rest of the body function properly. Studies have proven it to be helpful in correcting or greatly improving the condition of herniated nucleus pulposis, herniated discs, spondylolisthesis, lumbar osteoarthritis, sciatica, paralytic scoliosis and inclinatory skeletal defects (rib angle changes, thin discs, and compression wedging of the vertebrae). Subluxations of the vertebrae tend to correct, helping to diminish back pain. The muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the back and torso are all stretched, creating a great feeling of release. Suspended Inversion offers the easiest way to ease strains caused by compression and to lift the weight off the superimposed segments of the body. Prime back care results are experienced when the supportive muscles of the spinal column are synergistically lengthened and strengthened from performing inversion and therapeutic movement. The gravity gently aligns, adjusts, and gives traction to the spine. Suspended Inversions relieve back pain with better posture and greater spinal mobility. Studio and Teacher Training Academy, describes seven benefits of suspended inversion, including relieving back pain, increasing spinal mobility, boosting brain power, improving digestion and elimination, promoting lymphatic drainage, relieving depression, promoting relaxation and sounder sleep, and improved posture.
