Inversion table.......

I've used one for the past 4 years. Before that I was on a steady monthly regiment of massage therapy and acupuncur visits for lower back issues. It was the right solution for me. Make sure you get the weight ratio set right or have someone within yelling distance to get you back up!

I loaned it to a neighbor who is a trainer, with back issues. He bought one a week later.

You can get a really good ab workout with it. There is a warning with it reguarding heart issues. Two minutes is about my max but man can you feel your back uncompress.

My Dad just bought one this past Thursday. I think its great. I happen to have a slight curve in my spine so it stretches it out but I like it mainly for the ab workouts.

So, what are the benefits? We have one, I never use it. And, what benefits to the ballplayer? I'll stick my son on too! (Will it make him grow taller ?)

Gee, I was only kidding about the height increase but I'm going to stick him on it!! Sounds like all kinds of benefits. Worth a try especially since it has been sitting in the living room doing hardly anything for a year! I'm going to make it part of his daily routine.

BBfam-
just remember, you are longer than you are tall....

I thought I would add, the gravity boots are a must buy, they are easier on the shins and in step.
