It is understandable that a large number of people looking at this site know about the proven gains in spinal health obtained by using inversion therapy. Historically this goes back to a period about 2000 years ago. We know that using our body weight to stretch our spines, aligns muscle structure and relieves pressure on our spinal discs and consequent pressures on our nerves that cause pain.

However there is a mass of literature on the web that describes the adverse effects of gravity over our life time of misuse. Invertex has taken a positive approach to finding a method of reversing these damaging effects.

There are several methods of hanging upside down. Some create tensions in lower back area. These tensions reduce the ability of gravity to freely stretch the spine and muscles.

The best position for Inversion

The best way to invert your body is to support it from the upper thighs with the legs bent. In this position the upper torso is suspended freely and allows gravity to stretch the back without any mechanical restriction. The bent position of the legs does not tension the muscular system in the lower back which would work against gravity stretching the back.

This inverted position can be achieved easily by using an INVERTEX portable inversion device.

INVERTEX is a framework which has a self aligning thigh pad and leg pad designed to support you in the best position. INVERTEX utilizes a self positioning leg bar which ensures that your body hangs in the correct position. INVERTEX is adjustable to suit users of various builds and heights.

Benefits from inversion can be obtained very quickly and comfortably with sessions varying from one minute to three minutes in the fully inverted position.
