Just wondered if anyone has had any experience of gravity/inversion boots?(ie-the things you put round your ankles and then hang upside down to do exercises with)
I suffer badly with back pain,and recently heard that this is a good remedy,since it stretches the spine,and can also be good as part of an overall fitness regime.
Any good or bad feedback,including suggestions to go hang myself would be welcome.

Have had rotten back trouble in the past, getting much better with stability exercises. In particular, have you tried Pilates, or any other core stability programmes, for example, pool exercises?
I'm not comfortable now though with the blood rushing to my head - so it might be worth your while doing a few head/hand stands against a wall to make sure you aren't going to be too uncomfortable before buying any equipment.
Don't know if it will benefit your back or not, but it certainly sounds like fun.
Not the most descriptive site I've seen,but certainly the cheapest.Ankle boots clip onto chinning bar and off you go.
I've heard very good things about pilates,but have yet to find a course that fits into my schedule.Have however just gone out and bought a nice orthopaedic mattress at last,instead od the sheet of cloth that was on my futon/pallet.The whole gubbins is now in the bin....so stepping in the right direction.
No hangers then?I thought they'd be out there in droves.
lol
Whilst he concedes that "hanging"is certainly beneficial to the spine and with lower back pain issues,he said there is just as much value to be had from simply hanging the right way up from your bar by the hands,and simply letting go and dropping to your feet if uncomfortable(as opposed to dropping on your head!)
I am surprised at the lack of response to this.Is this simply not a widely used training/pain relief tecnique in the UK?I'm now very concerned about the FLM with what I've been told about potential spinal damage,combined with the fact my back really hurts most days training or not.
Having said that will try pilates this Wednesday as I have the evening off and there is a local class at leisure centre )
Pilates isn't just something you can nip into halfway through a course - you need to learn the building blocks so that you develop the moves correctly.
A good instructor will do a one to one with you, or hold beginners' workshops...
