Inversion Basics
How Long to Invert
Begin with 1–2-minute sessions to allow your body to adapt to inversion.
Over time, work up to 3-5 minutes per session. Inversion is about
relaxation and enjoyment, so take it slow and easy. Listen to your body
and only do what is comfortable to you.
How Far to Invert
Start at a 20-degree angle so your body can adjust to being upside down.
Eventually, try working your way up to 60 degrees, otherwise known as
the “magic angle”. At 60 degrees, the pressure in your discs is at or near
zero and your spine can fully decompress.
How Often to Invert
For best results, try inverting multiple times per day and remember,
frequency of sessions is more important than session duration.
Consistency is Key
Think of your inversion practice like brushing your teeth: a daily dose of
inversion can help you best maintain a healthy spine.
