Inversion table safety
My research on inversion tables turned up a disturbing item: One site said that persons with a hiatle (SP?) hernia should not use inversion therapy. Since I have an HH, I am concerned. Can anyone speak with authority to this?

You are correct inversion therapy is not recommended if you suffer from a Hiatal hernia or ventral hernia.
But in all cases it is best to consult your primary medical care provider...

Hi,
Whilst using an inversion table is it uncommon to get pain in your head.
My last session on it brought quite bad sharp pain to the front of my head around the upper eye socket. I think this would be caused due to the extra blood flow.
Thanks.

It is also best to follow the manufactures suggestions of use...
Some people do not need any more then 60 degrees of inversion to get the best results...

My blood pressure is great, but I have a hiatal hernia, why are inversion tables discouraged. I have not tried one, but I have heard of much success from guys at the gym.

I have just been told that they are not good for people with herniated discs
I thought they were good for this condition, as it promotes spacing between the vertabrae.
Should I stop using it???
