It is now estimated that back pain affects approximately 1 in 10 people; however, despite its prevalence, the debilitating impact it has on the lives of those that suffer with it should never be underestimated. Indeed, it is now thought to be one of the leading causes of disability in the UK. There are many underlying causes of back pain, ranging from congenital conditions to impact injuries, and some will be acute (short term), while others will be chronic (long term). Despite the acute nature of some back pain, it is reported that 20% of those affected will see it develop into chronic back pain and experience persistent symptoms if they do not seek treatment.

Proven to be an effective treatment for a variety of debilitating disorders, including sciatica, herniated discs, muscle tension and spasms, degenerative joint disease, scoliosis (spinal curvature), spinal stenosis and facet syndrome, inversion therapy naturally targets the root cause of the back pain to improve overall spine health, alignment and posture. With as little as a few minutes of treatment per day, you’ll experience noticeable improvements.

The science behind inversion therapy

When standing or sitting, gravity pulls down our bones, compressing the spine and shortening the back. When inverted, gravity has the opposite effect on the spine, decompressing and stretching out the vertebrae to restore its natural shape. So, by shifting the body’s gravity, inversion therapy alleviates the pressure on the back, whilst still providing traction for the spine. It is also shown to release more protective fluid around the spinal discs, remove waste from the spine, decrease inflammation and improve blood circulation to the surrounding muscles. Therefore, inversion therapy not only reduces and prevents back pain, it improves overall health/well-being, builds strength, increases flexibility and makes mechanical movements that much easier.

A study of 47 participants, each suffering chronic lower back pain was carried out at Hanseo University in South Korea. The test subjects practiced inversion therapy in three 3-minute sets at different angles over a period of 8 weeks. The study found that inversion therapy at 60 degrees reduced back pain as well as improved torso flexibility and strength in all test subjects.
