How can Inversion reduce the effects of gravity?
– When you invert and relax, your body can stretch up to 2 inches. “Muscles relax quite quickly in the fully inverted position, and the length of the spine measurably increases after 90 seconds. Some of the lengthening effect is gained from re-absorption of fluid into the center of the disc. Used over a longer period, this may delay the degeneration process that occurs due to ‘drying out'” (Beating Back Pain, Tanner).
