Ironman 4000 - The Spine: Benefits of Hanging Upside Down December 10, 2016 6 0Aerial, Blog, Health by Jen Healy, creator of Aerial Yoga Play : Significant Reduction in Back Pain I used to suffer from back pain on a regular basis. After I began running marathons, practicing yoga, and using a standing desk all day, my back pain slowly dissipated. However, due to a running injury and the introduction of cycling, my back pain returned. I began inverting as a means to reduce the pressure on my spinal column, relax my back muscles, and rehydrate the discs in my spine. The end result is that inversion has eliminated back pain when nothing else would. Hanging upside down opens up your back and allows everything to relax, which significantly reduces stress in your back muscles and reduces, or even eliminates, acute and chronic pain. : Reduces Stress As soon as you adjust to hanging upside down, usually after 60 seconds, you begin to feel the relaxing benefits of inversion. I find that simply hanging upside with my eyes closed is a great time for meditation or just relaxation. Others have said that inversion feels like a whole body massage. Either way, the benefit here is clear. Inversion puts your mind and body at ease. : Improves Focus, Balance, and Brain Function When you hang upside down, oxygen-rich blood flows to your brain (which is a little bizarre at first) but after you adjust to it you begin to notice your brain feels more alive. Since you brain is the largest consumer of oxygen in your body, more blood means more oxygen, which means better brain function. I personally noticed that after inverting I feel more focused, my balance improves as I adjust to seeing the world from different perspectives, and I can think more clearly. My first experience with improved brain function occurred after my first aerial yoga experience, when I inverted for only a few minutes. The benefits here are clear and immediate. : Improves Leg & Core Strength One of the greatest benefits of inversion is being able to exercise without interacting with the ground. While inverting, you can do upside down squats, crunches, or even push-ups. If you are an experienced weight lifter, you will quickly notice how much harder it is to fight gravity in the opposite direction, which makes the workout that much more beneficial. : Improves Joint Health Inverting reverses the pressure of gravity, which can aid your joints and ligaments just as much as your muscles. The joints in your spinal column can fully open up and decompress the most when you are upside down, as opposed to sitting, standing, or even lying down. If you have suffered from any pain in your joints, especially in your back, consider using inversion to decompress and improve your overall health. : Better Flexibility For years I have practiced yoga with the intention of greater flexibility in my core, hips, and back. Inversion is the quickest and easiest method I have ever seen to improve flexibility in all of these areas at once. Beyond feeling more relaxed after inverting, your muscles will also be more flexible, which feels great. : You Can Get Taller! Ok, this is cool! As your back decompresses, it creates more space in your spinal column. If you invert twice a day (5 to 15 minutes per session), you dramatically increase your chances of increasing your height permanently! : Better Posture If you take advantage of the core strengthening exercises while inverting, you will certainly notice an improvement with your posture. Since I have been using a standing desk for years, it wasn’t as obvious to me right away, but others I have heard from have said their posture improved very quickly. : Clears Skin & Reduces Wrinkles With an increase of oxygen-rich blood flowing to your head and face, you may also notice clearer skin and fewer facial wrinkles. I can’t speak to this benefits on a personal level, but I have read multiple stories where this has been the case. And, it makes sense. The more healthy blood you have in your head, along with the reversal of gravity, the more likely it would be that your complexion would improve. : Improves Your Lymphatic System Your body drains waste through the lymphatic system, kind of like a sewer. Inversion (along with exercise, massage, and other methods) helps your body remove the waste with greater ease, which keeps you healthy and feeling your best.
