Weslo Inversion Tables for a Healthier Back, a Healthier Lifestyle

Before we discuss Weslo Inversion Tables, let’s talk about inversion tables first. That way, you already have a good idea of why you need such a table.

What are inversion tables anyway?

For the uninitiated, inversion tables provide you a way of turning your body upside down so that you stretch or pull your body the other way around.

That is, everyday, as we stand, sit, lie down, walk or run, gravity pulls our bodies down. That is why as we grow older, our height also decreases. Sleep only allows you with partial recovery of the damage gravity is slowly wreaking in your body. The gravity results in fluid being squished out of the discs in our spinal column. Less fluid on these discs mean more pain for your back.

Who can use this table?

This table is especially for seniors who are suffering from the ravages of time and gravity and who suffer back pain. However, back pain can also strike the young, particularly those who are suffering from sciatic, which is a painful condition that results from a herniated disc.

What happens when you use an Inversion Table?

Basically, you will teeter totter, like in a seesaw, only your body is attached to the area that’s moving up and down. With most Weslo Inversion Tables, you just need to secure your body and feet and then raise your arms over your head. The table will slowly move and you will be lying upside down. This position reduces the stress and the strain from the discs in your back.

The good thing about this kind of table is that you don’t need to take pain-medication drugs just to deal with your pain.

An Inversion table is a good way to find relief for your back pain. It also gives a host of other therapeutic benefits such as relaxed muscles and improved circulation. However, you need to set it up so that it s stable and safe to use. Even if you run into difficulties, a table will come with an instructional video that will help you with the set up.

Actually, it is fairly simple to set up a Weslo Inversion Table. Although these tables come with their instruction and set up manual, you really don’t need to steadfastly study it to get your table set up.

Here’s how:

1.       Find a place where you will put the table. This should be level so that the base of the table will not rock as you use it.

2.       Lay out all the parts and the screws and bolts so that you can easily access these when you need it.

3.       A slider is inserted at the based. This is already assembled for you.

4.       Consult the manual for the correct measurement of just where and how high you will insert the adjustment bar.

5.       Screw and bolt in the various parts, consulting the diagram if you need to.

The Weslo Inversion Flex System is a great combination of features and value. It is highly affordable (as compared to other inversion tables in the market), but it has all the necessary features to ensure that it does the job it needs to do – to help you get rid of your back pain.

For quite a number who have used the Weslo Inversion Flex System, relief was found and enjoyed. In fact, they were surprised that only after a few days of use, their back pain has been considerably alleviated.

What’s good about the Weslo Inversion Flex System is that it can suit the needs of all kinds of people, regardless of their lifestyle, age and physical fitness. It can help an aging person deal with the back pain that comes with age or an athlete that worked out too much, too long. Virtually anybody who weighs less than 300 pounds and is over 12 years of age can use the table.

It allows you to comfortably hang at an angle that suits you.

Using the Weslo Inversion Table is so simple.

1.       Arrange the table and set it upright so that the portion for the head is up and the portion for the feet is on the floor.

2.       Stand in front of the table.

3.       Put out the designated knob and stand on the foot place. With each foot, attach the ankle locks. The sole of your foot should be on the bottom support with the foam roller at the front pinning the front of your foot and the foam roller at the back placed just right above the ankle. Be sure that they fit snugly and securely.

4.       Once you are in position, gradually raise your arms over your head. The table will turn and move depending on how fast you raise your arms.

5.       Begin with you head upside down for only one to two minutes, twice or thrice a day until you get used to the sensations. Then, you can lengthen the number of minutes inverted.

Inversion tables can do a lot for your back. But there are some precautions to remember so that you use your table safely and no injuries happen.

1.       Don’t overdo using the table. For the first few times, allow your body to adjust to the new sensations that result from using the table and from being upside down. At first, you may feel dizzy and disoriented as blood flows into your head when the table starts to move.

2.       Consult your doctor. If you have heart problems or are pregnant, it is highly advisable that you don’t use the table. Even so, you should first ask your doctor about whether it is safe for you to use the inversion table.

3.       Ask someone to help you, especially during the first times that you use it. That way, that person can help you get back to the right position if ever you get into trouble.

4.       Remember to read the instructions.
