Dimberg, L., et al.: The Impact of Gravitational Traction on Lumbar Spine in Patients Experiencing Chronic Low Back Pain at Work.

A 12-month randomized controlled trial involved 116 individuals, divided into three groups: two experimental and one control. The study aimed to assess the effects of gravitational inversion on pain levels and disability caused by low back pain. The average age was 44 years, with 77% of participants being men. Group 1 underwent inversion for 10 minutes once a day. Group 2 did inversion for 10 minutes twice a day. Group 3 served as the control group.

Results from the 12-month study:

• Participants in Groups 1 and 2 reduced work absences due to back pain by 33%.
• The average number of days missed due to back pain decreased by 8 days per person in the experimental groups (Groups 1 and 2).

"Inversion is an effective and inexpensive method to improve employee physical health and reduce employer costs for sick leave."

The study demonstrated an increase in intervertebral space in the lumbar spine for all participants. The researchers concluded that while mechanical traction has been used in medicine for centuries, only gravitational traction (inversion) can effectively achieve pelvic traction at home.

This study involved 175 patients who were unable to work due to severe back pain. Following 8 sessions of inversion therapy, 155 of these patients were able to return to their jobs. The research highlighted that the main factor contributing to this recovery was the stretching of muscles and ligaments, which likely facilitated the expansion of intervertebral discs. The study recorded significant improvements in conditions such as spondylolisthesis, herniated discs, lumbar osteoarthritis with sciatica, and coccygodynia.

The study revealed a significant decrease in EMG activity (muscle pain indicator) after three minutes of inversion. Lumbar spine alignment improved due to stretching of muscles and ligaments, resulting in a 25% increase in spinal flexibility. Significant intervertebral separation was observed. The study concluded that inversion could reduce most intervertebral disc protrusions while maintaining stable heart rate and blood pressure.

Nosse, L.: Inverted Spinal Traction. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 59: 367-370, August 1978.

In this study, EMG levels (an indicator of muscle pain) decreased by 35% within the first 10 seconds of inversion, highlighting the immediate pain-relief effects. Additionally, inversion was found to elongate the spine. These findings indicate a direct relationship between reduced EMG activity and spinal elongation during inversion therapy.

Begin by familiarizing yourself with the safety rules and training instructions. Here are the key guidelines for a safe start:

1. ❗Exercise with an Assistant: This is especially important for beginners with little experience and those who are not in advanced physical condition.
2. ❗Secure a Pull-Up Strap: This will help you safely return to the starting position after your exercises.
3. First Experience: If you're new to inversion boots, start with hanging for 10-30 seconds, then stop and assess your physical condition and your body's response. Gradually increase the duration to the recommended few minutes.
4. Start Slow: Begin with short sessions (1-2 minutes) and gradually increase the duration as your comfort and strength improve. Even if you feel confident, avoid rushing to extend your workout time. Performing the exercise for the recommended few minutes is already beneficial for your body.
5. Listen to Your Body: If you feel discomfort or pain, stop the exercise and consult a doctor.
6. Ensure Proper Setup: Make sure the boots are worn correctly and securely fastened to avoid injury.

These simple recommendations will help you safely start your workouts with the Anti Gravity Inversion Boots and achieve the best results.

Inversion therapy is beneficial and generally safe when following specific safety guidelines. For most people planning to use Anti Gravity Inversion Boots, consulting a doctor beforehand is recommended but not mandatory. However, there are certain categories of individuals for whom consultation is necessary.

When Consultation is Mandatory!

Medical Conditions:

• High blood pressure
• Heart disease
• Glaucoma or other eye problems
• Osteoporosis
• Varicose veins (in some cases, inversion therapy can temporarily reduce blood stasis in leg veins and relieve symptoms)
• Hernias or other spinal issues
• Recent back or neck surgery (within the last year)
• History of strokes
• Esophageal hiatal hernia
• Inner ear problems
• Recent bone fractures
• Severe arthritis
• Retinal detachment
• Severe circulatory disorders
• Infections in the spine or other skeletal areas
• Severe obesity
• Chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions (such as fibromyalgia)
• Other health conditions that might pose a risk

❗Pregnancy: Pregnant women should avoid inversion therapy without a doctor's

A specialist can assess your health and advise whether this method is safe for you.
