Flip therapy is used to relieve back pain from injured or herniated spinal discs, spinal stenosis, or other spinal conditions. All of these conditions lead to shooting pains in the back, seat or legs, this is associated with vertical pressure exerted on pinched nerve endings. During inversion therapy, you turn your body upside down to relieve pressure on the nerves and vertebrae. Research has shown that this therapy can reduce the pain associated with fresh trauma for a short time. With a flip table, you can start by placing your body at a slight angle, and then raising it as you progress. Read the article and learn how to use a rollover table for back pain relief.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Using a Rolling Table

1 Place your desk on a flat surface. Make sure all connections, anchor points and straps are properly secured. To prevent serious accidents, do this every time before using the table.
- Before using the table, carefully read the instructions for use. It will support your body's weight, so it is very important that all steps are performed correctly. When using the table for the first time, do the exercise with a friend as a safety net.
2 Wear athletic shoes to exercise on a tipping table. This will give you a firmer support when the table is in position. Never use the overturn table with bare feet.
3 Walk up to the table and take a pose with your back to it. Stand on the steps one leg at a time. Stretch forward with your back straight and secure your legs by pulling the lever.
4 Place the straps around your body. There are various types of attachment of the body to the table. The bindings can be ankle and body puffs, or other devices, so make sure all safety precautions are taken before you start flipping yourself.
5 Grasp the straps on both sides of the table. It is with these straps that you will turn yourself over.
6 Before you return to an upright position after a flip, take a horizontal position for 1 to 2 minutes. This will help regulate blood flow. Before unfastening yourself, slowly return to the starting position.

Method 2 of 2: Cranking Exercise for Back Pain

1 Use the rollover table as part of your doctor's prescription for treatment. Flip therapy is rarely used to treat chronic pain, which is why it is only used for short-term relief. Anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, exercise, epidural shots, and even surgery may be used to treat your condition.
2 Attach the strap to the bottom of the table to prevent you from overturning. If there is a tilt setting on one side of your tilt table, do not exceed 45 degrees for the first week.
3 Always make gentle movements when using the table. This will prevent further injury and pain.
4 Secure yourself on a roll-over table. Push off the handles until you are in a horizontal position. Remain in this position for 1 minute, this will allow blood circulation to change before starting the exercise.
5 Continue leaning to a 45-degree angle. Breathe deeply and stay in this position for 1-2 minutes.
6 For a more beneficial effect when stretching the vertebrae, stretch your arms up. Before doing this, make sure you are securely seated on the table.
7 Continue the exercise every week for 5 minutes at a 25-degree angle. Exercise 2 times a day, it will help your body get used to it quickly.
8 Increase your angle 10-20 degrees every week until you feel comfortable in the 60-90 degrees position for 1-5 weeks.
9 Use the overturn table three times a day or as the intensity of the pain increases. The overturning table will only give short-term relief, so you need to do these exercises more often.
- You are not required to do a full 90 degree tilt. Many people do not roll over more than 60 degrees, and others do not exceed 30, and still feel the result.
10 Keep a pain journal so you can tailor your exercise to your sensations. Choose the number and angle of exercise that works best for your condition.

Tips

Other types of inversion therapy include gravity boots and yoga flips. Gravity boots usually hang in the doorway of a house on a horizontal bar. Revolutions in yoga can be performed without any additional devices against the wall, as well as independently. During these exercises, you should also increase the load and angle evenly.

Warnings

Do not use inversion therapy if you have a medical condition such as glaucoma, hypertension, or heart problems. Turning the body over increases pressure in the head, heart, and eyes.
Do not use the table if you are pregnant.
