Teeter Inversion Hang Ups - The Perfect Exercise Machine for Arthritis Patients


Teeter hang ups inversion tables or simply teeter inversion is an excellent exercise machine, far from the universal gym equipments found in the corners of most homes.

After watching a video about how it works, I realized this could be the perfect exercise machine for persons with limitations on mobility. This is especially useful for individuals suffering from arthritis because the teeter hang ups inversion tables provide maximum support for the back.

Arthritis is a crippling disease which makes it hard for a sufferer to move his joints, mostly the knee and hips. However, I find the teeter inversion to be an easy and effective exercise machine for arthritic patients for them to restore their mobility.

Physiologically, arthritis is caused by the weakness of muscles: weak muscles at the back is susceptible to back pains and at the same time a weak muscle support to the spine and pelvis increases ones risk to arthritis on those parts. If your leg muscles cannot bear the weight of your upper body, the knee cartilage absorbs much of the weight and can wear after some period.

Crunches are often hard to do and only target a small group of our muscles. But with the use of the teeter hang ups inversion tables, even an arthritic patient can strengthen his back and leg muscles. You also have the flexibility and increased range of possible movements. You can turn 90 degrees to one side or push further to your stretching limit, and do pull-ups if you can.

When your joints are painful due to arthritic inflammation, you should not be resting or limiting your movement because the joint would further attract calcification. On the other hand, strenuous and split-second movements will do more harm than benefit the joint. The teeter inversion machine does not require one to be fast-paced or to bear heavy weights. You are just carrying your own weight. The difference is that you are upside down.

Teeter hang ups inversion tables provide the user a back and leg support. It is the ankles which bears much of the weight. For the comfort of those with weak muscles, there are teeter inversion hang ups that are designed not to put too much strain on the ankles by placing some weight on other body parts. Besides, there are the rails that you can grab for support.

If you are thinking that exercise is hard, you have to try the teeter inversion hang ups table. It is guaranteed to work.
