Spine Decompression – Inversion Table Therapy Video

Inversion Table Therapy — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:37:52 +0000

In this video, spinal decompression and what makes up the different components of the spine are discussed. Hippocrates was one of the first physicians to use gravity and inversion in decompressing the spine. Today, with the technology of inversion tables, we are able to easily achieve this beneficial therapy.

The goal of spinal decompression is to get the primary and secondary curves of your back into position. Moving down from the cervical spine to the thoracic region, the secondary curve stretches forward, the primary curve stretches back, and the secondary curve stretches forward again.
