inversion tables
Hang upside down
An inversion table is a padded platform that pivots on a frame, allowing a person to hang upside down or at an angle with feet secured above the head.
Users claim the inverted position relieves back pain by decompressing the spine: I spend ten minutes on my inversion table every morning.
Found in gyms and homes, they occupy a gray zone between exercise equipment and therapeutic device.
