Everything relies on your spine. The back is composed of numerous vertebrae that support many of our internal organs. Between two vertebrae is a disc that works as a impact absorber. It also provides mobility to the spine. With regular wear and tear and with all the activities that individuals do, these discs are subjected to a lot of force and constricting them in the process. This compression not only creates pain, but it also puts the backbone in a bad position.
Over time this sustained compression can lead to a small loss of height. To work against this shortening you can use an inversion stretch table which through the process of stretching the backbone will maintain your height. The movement provided while using an inversion table unwinds the backbone while at the same time maximizing the distance between vertebrae. By extending your body in this way you can preserve your real height.

When you hunch over you look and feel shorter and also create and astounding amount of pressure on your neck and back. You can feel more at ease and feel taller with better back posture.
