Who Would Want To Buy An Inversion Chair?
There are many advantages of inversion chairs. That's why they have become more popular the last few years. In this post, we will discuss some of these advantages, helping you to decide if an inversion chair is best for you - or if you would be better off going with a traditional inversion table. In addition, we will points out a few disadvantages that you should also consider.
Advantages of Inversion Chairs
Along with all the other traditional advantages that come along with inversion therapy, there are a few specific advantages that you have if you decide to purchase an inversion chair vs table. First of all, you have added stability - and this is the main reason why people purchase chairs instead of tables or gravity boots. This stability allows people with some injuries that would normally prevent them from enjoying inversion therapy to enjoy it (obviously, please speak with your doctor before starting any such training regime).
In addition, By safely and securely strapping yourself into the chair you don't have to worry about any stress on your ankles or ligaments - stress that can make it very uncomfortable for some people when they start inverting. Some people never get used to this stress, and for these people an inversion chair can be very effective.
Disadvantages of Inversion Chairs
While you do gain advantages in terms of stability with inversion chairs, you do lose some in terms of mobility. Because you are in the chair you are not able to fully stretch your ligaments and joints like you can on an inversion table. In fact, many people find gently swinging back and forth to be a very effective way to stretch their back, legs, and ligaments.
Summary
The bottom line is that if you are a healthy person, with the ability to support yourself from your ankles, then an inversion table is probably the better way to go. However, for all those people who have specific back problems that would prevent them from doing so, then an inversion chair can still give them many of the advantages of inversion therapy.
