10 pax showed up for the second debut of my inversion table beatdown. Some were ok with it, some had flashbacks of being water boarded back in ‘nam (we are an older group hehe). But everyone’s back is a little less compressed.

Special shout out to the men of F3 at the G (all 3 of us!) for clown car-ing out.

(This required a short explanation. While the pax did a wall sit I unveiled my inversion table strategically hidden around the corner. Proper safety procedures were given and a SHORT explanation of the benefits of being inverted. I made a joke about the blood moving from one head to another when upside down and that its a good thing but that apparently was much funnier to me than the PAX (although I was upside down and couldn’t see if anyone was at least smiling).

Health benefits and a video are at the bottom if anyone cares to learn about inversion therapy.)

(Conchito and I think Brutus was one who opted out of a second dose of inversion while mumbling something about charlie comin’ out of the bushes)

Inversion table (the table is pretty much spoken for so I swear I’m not trying to sell it to the PAX):
Inversion therapy is ingenious. All our life gravity is pushing our body DOWN, this reverses that process. I bought this table on Craigslist to replace $50 weekly visits to the chiropractor where they had me lie flat on a $$$$$ pneumatic table that would pull on my neck to decompress my spine. This table worked MUCH better and I can’t recommend it enough to my f3 brothers. I had tingling up and down my left arm and lots of pain from a compressed spinal chord from being a roofer and this took care of it for me. I don’t use it much any more (and am getting my 1st foster placement on Wednesday) so I am looking to sell it to @icicle to make room.

Check out the vid for full explanation, but a lot of pax could benefit from them and they are lots available on CL.
