inversion table
Hang upside down
An inversion table is a padded platform that pivots to hold a person upside down or at an inverted angle.
Users strap their ankles in and tilt backward, hanging with their head below their feet.
The device is marketed for back pain relief, with the theory that gravity decompresses the spine: My chiropractor recommended an inversion table for my herniated disc.
