Medical news site Medical News Today mentioned some scientific evidence and thanks to the ability to manage pain, it is advisable to apply the reverse method (upside down of the body).
Based on a hypothesis that when the legs raised from the head of the inverse body influence the gravity on the body, a reversal posture treatment was formed. According to the researchers, gravity causes the muscles, joints and back vertebrae to be constantly compressed, leading to chronic back pain. Inverse therapy has been found to be useful for reducing pressure on the spine, decompressing discs and increasing blood circulation.
While this may seem simple, reversal therapy requires a doctor’s appointment, and some assistive devices such as a reversing table are also required. Certain yoga postures or exercises can also be used that allow the patient to perform alternative reversal therapy for assistive devices. Regardless of the patient’s benefit, whether or not he or she performs inversion table with or without the aid of these devices, has the following benefits:
- Helping healthy spine. Back exercises, spinal exercises, muscle strengthening exercises, and massage help us release the weight on the back, the reverse method also works the same. supporting the body upside down or doing some reverse yoga every day to help strengthen the spine and ligaments, reduce back pressure. Helps body movement more comfortable and flexible.
- Reduce chronic back pain. Reverse therapy reduces pressure in the joints that are under pressure from body weight (such as the hip, knee, ankle, lumbar spine), helping the bones and joints In this area, the rest of the body has the potential to cure diseases such as intervertebral disc pain, arthralgia, and lower back pain.
- Avoid surgery. In the journal of Disability and Recovery, it is also published about the use of reversible devices to help patients who improve the degenerative disc disease, the spine and collapsed discs are gradually restored without to surgical intervention.
Reverse therapy is beneficial for the practitioner, but is also recommended for people with high blood pressure, heart disease, eye diseases (such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, pinkeye). , stroke, osteoporosis. The upside is that the upside down position makes the heart rate drop and blood pressure rise, it also increases the pressure on the eyeballs and the inner ear.
In short, all treatments, including reversals, should be consulted by a physician and trained with expert guidance. When any side effects or signs of illness worsen, patients should stop exercising immediately.
