thats a awesome set up. does it really work?

[trxbloke]

Yes it really works. It's just decompression using gravity.

If I didn't work I wouldn't have done it, and I wouldn't have bothered sharing it with the world.

It's not for some people, and it would be wise to find out why you have back pain in the first place.

For me, I have moved to an inversion table because an upper back injury whilst motorcycling made it too difficult to swing up on the bars.

holy shit.... poeple!!!! if you want to do this, make sure your set up is A+... If those wall mounts come loose, you will no longer have back pain as you won't have any feeling from your neck down

You can't see it from the video, but the bar ends are in recesses cut a half inch deep into the door frame.

The last thing I wanted was to drop on my head!

this will kill you!! I heard of people dying from doing handstand because too much blood to the head. HANDSTAND!!!

Ive been doing inversion for 10 years now, and Im not dead yet!

I'm not saying it is a cure for everyone, but whenever my lower back plays up, a good inversion session helps loads.

Ive now developed a way of twisting whilst inverted, which improves my range of motion quite well.

my back hurt so bad that I could not even pull myself on that bar like that.

the title should have been the easiest way to break your backbone 

[lochwharral]

that def decompresses the lumbar spine but the risk isn't worth it, agreed!

I use my daughter climbing frame and hang just by my arms if the pain is really bad and by my knees when I can.

So where do you get that equipment? and what is it called?

[itrainsinoctober]

I tried chiropracty, massage, epidurals, exercise, etc. If you have low back pain, mid-back pain, or whatever it may be, there is a really great read called "Healing Back Pain" by Dr. John Sarno. It conveys the most Responsible Content on the matter that I have ever come across and is NOT "about" anatomy in general. You can google his name they probably have the book at your local library. P.S. I've had 2 discectomies in the past - didn't know better, and...yeah, it's a really worthwhile read.

No sense in killing yourself..... get an inversion table! They range anywhere from $99- several hundred. So much easier and more fluid motion. You're not going to get a hernia getting on or off of it.
