I suffer from low back pain (SI joint dysfunction) and am considering buying gravity inversion boots and a bar to hang from. Anyone have any experience with these?




Not cheap at $149 from amazon.

I've done physical therapy, chiropractic, meds and a cortisone shot but I am still experiencing low back pain and am almost always very stiff. I feel, intuitively, that the decompression will help reverse the effects of many years of long distance running. (I am not concerned about injuring myself by falling on my head while using them.)

I do a series of 8 back stretching and strengthening exercises nearly every day. I lift weights 2 or 3 times a week and run 3 times a week for a total of 20 to 25 miles.

I see this subject has been discussed, tongue in cheek style, on this forum previously.
Who remembers . . .
