A few days ago I sent an email out about inversion therapy and we have been
getting tons of questions so I thought I’d answer some of the most common ones…
QUESTION #1 - Does inversion therapy help if you have neck pain?
Great question… yes, it can help if you are dealing with neck pain. With inversion,
everything from the ankle all the way up through the neck and head gets stretched
and pressure relieved.
Now, it’s important to point out that while you do get the benefits for the neck when
using an inversion table, there are other decompression devices out there that work
well but do not address the neck.
QUESTION #2 - I’ve had a hip replacement, can I do inversion?
That all depends… if you have had a “total hip replacement” it’s NOT recommended.
Same is true for a total knee replacement. In these situations you would want to use
an alternative like the “Back Bubble” (see next question below).
If you have had a partial hip replacement you should check with your doctor but we
have had many doctors say it’s ok.
QUESTION #3 - Are there other devices other than an inversion table that do
the same thing?
Another great question… yes, there are many devices out there but only a handful
that really work well. One of the best alternatives we’ve found to an inversion table
is a product called “The Back Bubble” and you can learn more about it here.
You can also look into traction which would be performed by a qualified doctor
or therapist. And another method that is being pushed by a lot of chiropractors
is the DRX9000. You can read more about it and other forms of decompression here.
And last, here are some more emails we’ve received from people who have
used inversion therapy:
Well,watch this short, 2-minute video we created for you. In this video, we
demonstrate how inversion therapy works and also show you several things
you can do to make it even better.
So if you suffer from any type of back pain, neck pain or sciatica and have not
tried inversion therapy, you really should watch this short video and read the
special report that is also available on the webpage.
And if you’ve already tried inversion, you still should watch it because you may
find several of the special “tricks” we share to be helpful.
I also wanted to share with you an email that I received a long time ago but just
found while going through my “collection” of thousands of emails.

Hi Jesse,
Over the past year I have become a fan of you and what you’re doing on your
website. I was 33 yrs old when my son was born. When he was 3 months old I
got out of a rocking chair and “tweaked” the wrong way and ended up spending
2 weeks flat on the floor unable to move icing nonstop (luckily I have family
around). I was in soo much pain, I’d wake up in tears..not that I slept with a new
born in the house.
Completely exhausted, I had an MRI that reported I had herniated my L5-S1
disc area. That started my journey into researching how to take care of my back
and how to get those core muscles some strength after pregnancy.
3 unsuccessful cortizone injections later, hours of physical therapy, meds etc.
nothing worked. I used to be a marathon runner and lead a very active lifestyle.
I was determined to get back to enjoying my family and life!
Then one night in my quest I came across your website and the inversion table.
I ordered your books, dvd’s and an inversion table. It changed my life! I’m hooked
and have been pain free for over 10 months now. I’m doing pilates, run in the
water, “hang like a bat” on the table as my husband calls it, and chase my toddler
around all day without any pain.
Gratefully,
Kate Berman, 34 & fit mama of an active 22 month old.

That’s awesome!
I’ve said it so many times before, but it deserves repeating here again now…
Most people get the best results when they COMBINE multiple treatments and
remedies together.
Here’s the combination that we have found to work the best for the largest
number of people:
1. Identify and address muscle imbalances, which are almost always the
underlying cause, by using the Lose The Back Pain system
2. Reduce pain and inflammation with safe and natural ingredients like the
ones found in Lifezyme Plus
3. Decompress the spine with some form of traction or inversion therapy
5. Improve your mental / emotional state and wipe out negative stress and
there are many ways to accomplish this. A few products we recommend
are the Stress Less video and Mind Body Pain Relief
Well, I hope you find the video about inversion therapy informative and keep
your eyes peeled as I have several more videos I’ll be sending you over the
next few weeks.
In fact, I have one about sciatica where I’ll show you one of THE most effective
stretches for sciatica… plus an other video showing you many little things you
can do to reduce or better manage pain while at work.
It’s an Olympic year, and there are at least three things you can be sure will be part of the Summer Games in Beijing: the Olympic torch, fierce competition…and pain.
We’re not talking about the pain of missing a bronze medal by a hundredth of a second (which has got to rank right up there with passing a kidney stone). Or the pain of being body-slammed by a Russian heavyweight in a Greco-Roman Wrestling match. We’re talking about the plain old kind of pain that many of us non-athletes experience every day.
No doubt, Team USA and the other national Olympic squads will have access to any and every kind of pain treatment available so they can stay in the game. And why shouldn’t they? After all, they’ve been getting up a 4 a.m. every day for years preparing for their moment in the sun.
But what about the rest of us occasional athletes who have to endure muscle and joint pains—many of them chronic—due to overexertion, injury, and conditions that result from the wear and tear the body undergoes as it ages, such as arthritis and fibromyalgia?
And don’t think that arthritis is just something that happens to old folks. It affects nearly one in five American adults—that’s 46 million people. Arthritis is second only to heart disease as a cause of work disability, and 7 million people have it so bad that they have difficulty with everyday activities such as walking, dressing, and bathing.
This kind of nagging pain can take the joy out of life and produce a feeling of hopelessness. In fact, surveys indicate that roughly half of those with arthritis don’t think anything can be done to help them.
But the good news is, you can have access to the same, cutting-edge treatments that Olympic level athletes have. This is where a completely natural topical treatment such as Rub On Relief can make a difference.
Rub On Relief has been shown to be especially valuable in treating a variety of joint and muscle pains. Its proprietary combination of natural oils and organic ingredients works to bring relief—often immediately—from the daily aches and pains many people experience.
Rub On Relief appears to work especially well with soft tissue and joint problems and has been shown to be effective in relieving rheumatic pains, swollen and stiff joints, tendon pain, sciatica, tenderness in knee joints, low back pain, neck stiffness and even head aches.
Two-time USA Olympian Debbi Lawrence said, “I ABSOLUTELY love this stuff! My legs have never felt better and it helps me recover from intense workouts much faster.”
Other pain relief options, such as Cortisone and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) also work to reduce inflammation, but the downside is that they often bring with them a number of unpleasant side effects.
Instead, Rub On Relief contains powerful antioxidants that work to neutralize free radicals—unstable molecules that can do a lot of damage, especially to blood vessel walls and the cartilage tissue that surrounds your joints.
The antioxidants contained in Rub On Relief prevent these free radicals from getting additional oxygen, something they need in order to thrive. Rub On Relief also includes omega-3 fatty acids, which have been proven to reduce inflammation as well as provide numerous other health benefits.
Several clinical studies have confirmed that the Rub On Relief formula can bring quick and effective relief to a variety of painful conditions. In one study, participants suffering from arthritis were asked to stop using a popular pain-relief product and instead begin applying Rub On Relief once a day for three days.
In a matter of days, almost 90 percent of the participants who used the topical cream reported getting faster pain relief than they had gotten from the product they had been using. They also said it was more pleasant to use and reported no adverse side effects.
For those who have unsuccessfully sought relief from over-the-counter pain relievers and prescription NSAIDs—or who simply cannot tolerate some of the undesirable side effects, such as stomach irritation or worse—a completely natural topical cream like Rub On Relief may be a good treatment option.
First, some tips I think you’ll really find helpful when it comes to
the abs and 17 different things you can do to improve the way
you look AND feel.
So, let me start with the abs…
Not sure why, but so many people seem to be almost obsessed
with “abs”. Caring more about abs than brains… glad you’re not
like that
While the mid-section is so important to your health and fitness,
how it looks isn’t nearly as important as how it functions. And
whether you are concerned with how it looks or how it functions,
or both, here’s what you need to know…
The primary function of the abdominal muscle is to flex your
torso forward. However, there are also muscles that flex
your torso to the side and muscles that rotate your torso.
Often times you see people on their “ab-roller” every day
doing hundreds of crunches or sit-ups. What a waste of time!
If you want to effectively strengthen your stomach you need
to incorporate the following types of exercises:
Choose at least 1-2 exercises that target the lower abs,
1-2 for the obliques (love handles) and 1-2 for the upper abs.
If you haven’t already, be sure to grab a free copy of my ab
training video, The ABsolute Truth. On this video I share with
you my favorite ab exercises, several for each area and then
even give you a workout you can follow along with.
Ok, and if me giving you 7 of my products for free wasn’t enough,
