Inversion Techniques

Inversion therapy, using a Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table, offers various techniques to address specific needs and preferences․ Here are some common inversion techniques you can explore⁚

1. Partial Inversion⁚ Start with partial inversion, tilting your body at an angle less than 90 degrees․ This allows you to gradually acclimate to the sensation of inversion and build tolerance․ Begin with short sessions and progressively increase the angle and duration as you feel comfortable․
2. Full Inversion⁚ Once you’ve mastered partial inversion, you can gradually progress to full inversion, hanging completely upside down with your back free from the table․ Full inversion can provide greater decompression and stretching benefits, but it’s crucial to approach it cautiously and listen to your body․
3. Static Inversion⁚ Hold a specific inversion angle for a set duration, allowing your body to relax and decompress․ This technique is ideal for promoting spinal flexibility and reducing muscle tension․
4. Dynamic Inversion⁚ Involve gentle movements while inverting, such as rocking back and forth or swinging your legs․ This technique can help to increase blood flow and improve circulation․
5. Inversion with Accessories⁚ Use optional accessories like the Lumbar Bridge, Acupressure Nodes, or Posture Restore to enhance your inversion experience․ These accessories can target specific areas and provide additional support․

Experiment with different inversion techniques to find what works best for your individual needs and goals․ Always prioritize safety and listen to your body․ If you experience any discomfort or pain, stop inverting immediately and consult your doctor․

Remember, inversion therapy is a tool, not a cure․ It can be a valuable supplement to a healthy lifestyle, but it’s important to consult with your doctor before starting any new fitness regimen․
