A bodybuilder at this year's Mr. Olympia added an inch by heavy stretching in order to qualify for his weight class. The extra height allowed him to compete at a heavier weight.
Are the inversion table height-related benefits only temporary if not repeated regularly? Can inversion table usage help (or hurt) someone with scoliosis? If yes, how?
I'm one of those at the other end of that age group. I have an acquired, lateral curve in my spine that I had hoped that the inversion table that I bought would help the spine to straight we n out!
I believe there are more benefits to stretching the spine than just "getting taller". Could you address the benefits that I'm suspecting come from the use of an inversion table? When I was ten years old, Mom commented on how great it was that I could hang at my knees from the playground equipment, and how good it is for us.
I got one two years ago. I had a lot of daily back pain and going on the table for 5 minutes really helped. I now have very little back pain and only use the table during any slight back pain so about two days a month. So I am just one person but my back has felt better now than it did the previous 20.
Read my comment. Hubby had both retinas detach with use of inversion table. Not saying inversion table CAUSED them to detach tho certainly could have been a trigger....we got rid of ours! "A little bit late to do the right thing now..."
@@bellaschimke4302 thanks for you comment, “An inverted position may be good for the mind and back, but it causes eye pressure to nearly double--a concern that is especially serious for those who have glaucoma or certain other eye diseases,”
Ive got slight lower lordosis, where my spine curves inwards a bit. It causes minor pain when stood up. Would an inversion help straighten the spine and correct posture?
Question, you hang from ankles, what effect does this have on your knees, hips and ankles? All focus seems to be on the back but using it puts a lot of tension on your knees, ankles and hips as well.
I just love your channel no matter what subject you are covering. I get severe spasms in my trunk. Probably dystonia. Could this work for me? One side is sort of cruched together but it's muscular.
This "time" topic is not covered very well with general guides.....for beginners, it should be a minute or two....from all my research If upright your head is 0°don't go full upside down 180° the first time you use it.....maybe head at 110° for 2 minutes, once in the evening. People hop on these and think that since it may be pain free to hang for over 3minutes, that nothing bad will happen. People should have self control and start slowly daily and only 2 minutes at 110-120°. ...then add 5 degrees every 4 days or so. When fully upright head, i call it 0°. People need to give their bodies time to react and tell you if pain develops; it can be delayed pain when they do too much and too quickly. Self control and patience is needed with these tables. In my opinion.
@@littinkandoth9131 This was years ago with my back being “out of whack”. No injury that required surgery, but still, it took 3 years to heal. I used the inversion table the last year (when I acquired it as a last resort) for only one or 2 minutes (til I felt the back “crack”/realign) three times a day. Other gentle stretching exercises at the time as well and yes, I regained my 1” height loss. 15 years later and in my 60s, I’ve lost the inch again, but I also don’t “find the time” for the inversion table as well. My back doesn’t hurt so I don’t think of it. But I’ve never had to go back to a chiropractor either. I’ve learned not to do bull work and if I feel out of whack, the inversion table sets me right usually the first inversion in less than a minute. Still swear by it!
I had a discectomy laminectomy in july it sounds like an inversion board will help me with my other herniated discs and decompression of my spine completely.@bob and brad
You really want people who need to decompress for a few minutes in the middle of the night to simply 'get in their pool', as if it's a common household item?
My husband in his late 60's used his inversion table and both his retinas DETACHED!!! After 2 serious surgeries and multiple lasers the Sacramento retinal specialist surgeon said inversion table was a contributor to this!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I am a retired Registered nurse with 50 years experience....buyer beware. ☠
Hmmm. There must be a way to determine in advance if this would happen. I'd hate to miss the benefits out of needless fear. For instance, does high blood pressure or diabetes put you at some risk?
@@nickmatthaes5344 as someone who has suffered from back problems for years i agree. another reason why i personally dont recommend an inversion table ia because the blood rushes to the brain. No good. I recommend doing pulls ups.
No! He has a condition that has affected his speech and body - they have often talked about this and there is a disclaimer at the start of earlier videos. All of us that have watched them for a while are aware of his challenges and wish him all the very best 💓
Bob (the tall one) has been diagnosed with Ataxia. It affects his balance and his speech, but does not affect his thinking. We appreciate your understanding and support!
Ever wondering how Bob got to be so tall? He gained 2 inches in one day and here us how th-cam.com/video/fmLxHjk1n4o/w-d-xo.html
Would Deadman hangs in theory work?
Hope you're ok, Bob. Wishing you the best. You too, Brad. Thanks for the info.
I’ve been using an inversion table for about 10 years and at 6( I’ve only lost 1/4” in my height. I have very few back problems since I’ve used it.
Doing squat exercises and lifting weights brought pain and a loss in height, I really need this.
you can notice it when
you look at your rearview mirror
in the morning... itll show youre
just enough taller to want
to adjust it

Hi Brad, good things come in small packages😁
Go- KLAY is how Esther Gokhale's name is pronounced. Her work is remarkable and the book is worth the study.
The author pronounces her name GO-Klee. Great book!
Wondering if Deadman hangs have some effect?

Hi 👋 Bob & Brad from ENGLAND U.K. Have a Happy New Year 🎉2023 guys! 🙏
Can you invert other body parts? Asking for a friend.
Lmao
Fascinating! Thank you for the spine lesson, Bob and Brad 💐
Thanks guys 🤗
Best Duo

Can you use this for knee arthritis?
Nice video as always.
I have discopathy on the upper and lower back. Is it safe to me to use those tables?
Thank you both
be careful, being inverted can be bad for the eyes as it increases intraocular pressure

I tried an invertebra once. It was uncomfortable, but it supported my shoulder blades. 😁
Do we lose the “water” in the discs through the years? And if so, is there a way to prevent it from happening?
How long should one be inverted? And how often? You forgot to mention this.
Invesion table manuals tell you. They recommend about 1-2 minutes and to do it consistently rather than increasing the duration.
Ive got slight lower lordosis, where my spine curves inwards a bit. It causes minor pain when stood up. Would an inversion help straighten the spine and correct posture?
I had knee replacement and was told absolutely to no longer use my inversion table.
Thank You!
How long does the extra height last? More than a whole day a month? Pr just a few minutes. Please lmk.
Thank you for watching!
@@BobandBrad how long do affects last? You didn’t say

How can I reduce my height? I’m a 6’ tall woman and most men don’t want to date a leaf eater😂.

Long story short: my inversion table returned me to my high school height….about a 1” difference.
Hi, What's your routine? How long have you been using it?

Better to hang in a pool than invert. How come you guys don't do any aquatic therapy?
You really want people who need to decompress for a few minutes in the middle of the night to simply 'get in their pool', as if it's a common household item?
I purchased an inversion table and it helps some areas of my spine yet I'm hearing that I shouldn't use it because I have osteoporosis, Is that true?
I have one and OP so would like to know also
Check into the use of Vitamin K2 along with D3 for redepositing calcium in bone.
@@DocJaeBass I do use plant based calcium and D3/K3
K2
@@DocJaeBass Youtheory makes a good product with the two combined (K2/D3)
I have spondylolisthesis, grade 1. Is it safe for me to use an inversion table?
I would talk with the doctor for advice.
Same here. Dr michael c remy has great videos on Spondylolisthesis
Don’t use if having spinal fusions!
Why not? Those segments are fused bone so won’t affect them at all!
y wouldnt u get on the inversion table? was waiting the whole time lol
IF a person has spinal stenosis, and/or DDD,
nothing can really help, or fix it. 🤔
I purchased a massage gun for my son who wrestles in High School. Very positive feedback!
I miss Bob.
Thank you for your continued support!
Bob gained 2 " where😁
OMG it's is possible to stretch ur spine whom knew...buzz buzz is that you..yea it's me..
Height not heigth
Yea and those penis enhancement pills work too 🤣😂🤣😂

Hoe long did he do it for? You are suppose to do it for 2 min and at an angle (not upside down).
