Inversion Therapy: Relieve lower back and sciatica pain, improve posture, and revolutionize your health Paperback – January 6, 2016

I got the same book I saw on Amazon. It was new and I love it. I didn't have this book. I am a former Weeki Wachee Mermaid.It is filled with great pictures and the history of Weeki Wachee which started in 1945. Visit Weeki Wachee Spring of Mermaids. Website-- The roadside attraction was made a State Park in 2008. Mermaid shows are still performed. I was a Mermaid for two years 1961-1963. I have several postcards still for sale. They are still so popular even after 62 years. So much to say. If you are interested you will have a lot to look forward to.

I found some useful information in this book, but some of the main info I was looking for was not there. I’ve owned an inversion table for about five years but until recently hadn’t used it that often. Becoming more aware of all the health benefits of it, I’ve decided to make this part of my daily routine. I bought this book hoping to find info on the best way to go about this. One of my main inquiries was how often to do it and for how long. Well, the book did address the how often part- once a day starting out, up to twice a day thereafter. But practically no information was given regarding amount of time. The only info presented regarding time is “start slowly, just give it a minute or two..just do a couple minutes each time for the first few days.. don’t do longer than five minutes the first month”.Ok, great. But what about after the first few days? Should I move up to 5 minutes then? And how many days would I stay at 5 minutes? What about after the first month? What is the ideal amount of time to work towards? Can maximum benefit be achieved in 10 or 15 minutes, or would that require 30 minutes or longer? Or can I stay at 5 minutes and still get just as much benefit?I really wish this information would have been included.

It really didn't provide that much more information than I had already found on the internet. But it is a good introductory to the practice. I have a bad hip and lower back pain and use my inversion machine twice a day to relieve the pain. This book does give instructions on how to assemble your own low impact version at home--very cheaply. But I got my machine on Amazon for just under a hundred bucks... just look around?

Yes, you can find all this information, if you do the research. The point to this book is that the research is already done for you! Easy to read, short and straight to the point.I am very glad that I purchased this book, it has given me many new ideas as to why inversion is good for overall health.If you’re like me, and hane no time to do all this research yourself, this book is for you!

Luv it ..just what I needed and easy to put together and operate..I had a recline board for years and used allot but it took up so much space so got rid of..Suddenly years later by back starts acting up... this one so easy to use and folds up easy. .almost like an ironing board. .so easy to store.I use a couple times a week. .I changes the security strap to a chain though.. much easier to calibrate and safer..

So many typing errors. The writer really pulled this one out of her ass. She goes into all this random stuff that's totally off topic like about how her daughter was anorexic, and stuff about hair and skin care--being sure to promote her book about skin brushing. Some of us have serious back pain and don't want to hear about your beauty regimen. Book doesn't have a broad scope. It didn't even mention aerial yoga and how much superior that is to using an inversion table. (At my physical therapist's office at one of the best medical schools in the country, they don't even have an inversion table and they said it doesn't really help. They said it would be better to do an aggressive yoga routine (like three hours or so a day) if you want to actually get over your pain. The book barely touches on yoga, it just says some stuff about doing headstands and then goes into this crazy thing about how maybe yoga isn't for Christians because it could go against their religious beliefs.

I was looking for information on how to use my new inversion table. There were only 3-4 useful pages. The book explains everything inversion helps with but I wanted information on how to use the table. A waste of money. I read the entire book in 15 minutes.

I am so glad I got this book on inversion. I really enjoyed how well researched it was and found it to be insightful, easy to read and understand and very well laid out. The background information on why to do it, how to do it, all the health benefits, etc. I felt was all very well done and described in such a way that I want to try this myself. I'm inspired to act like a bat now and get inverted!
