Body Solid GIB2 Inversion Boots

Product Description

Inversion Boots. Do you sometimes feel pounded, beaten and jarred? Inversion boots allow you to recover quickly from compression fatigue caused by jogging, aerobic training, stepping, bicycling and weight training. Inversion boots counteract the downward pull of gravity. Hanging in the inverted position brings instant relief to many forms of back pain and spasms associated with consistent downward gravitational pull on the spine, discs and muscles. Just a few minutes a day are sufficient to spread apart painful compressed discs. Back, neck and shoulder muscles are also stretched, further increasing flexibility and reducing pain. Recommended by doctors and used in hospital back clinics nationwide. Boots feature thick, comfortable, contoured support pads and have a heavy-duty single-action locking mechanism with built-in safety lever. Extra pads allow easy adjustment for all size users.

3.0 out of 5 stars Way to Hang!, October 24, 2008

The GIB2 Inversion Boots, most definitely helped my back, as for the last two months, my back has been hurting. I injured it doing squats a few years ago, and every now and then, it just acts up with no warning, so I thought I'd try these boots. The only complaint I have is that they need more padding, as they really hurt the ankle to the point that it gets very uncomfortable, even with the extra padding they include. I cannot hang as long as I would like to, due to the pain from the boots.

Other than that, for the few minutes that I am able to, it does relieve the pain in my back, and my back does feel better. The ankle pain goes away faster than the back pain, so you aren't swapping back pain for ankle pain. Only while you are hanging, does the ankle pain happen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Adequite thicker padding would be nicer, December 20, 2008

The boots work as promised and came in timely fashion.
they do hurt your ankles over a long period of hanging (15-20 mins)
I use the added padding that came with the shipping material for more cushion, I think a more thicker dense foam would be better.

you will have to wear shoes with them if you have small feet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Body Solid GIB2 Inversion Boots...could be just what you need, November 6, 2009

This product takes some getting use to, but ultimately can be very beneficial.

First, you have to get use to the fact that the boots are NOT going to stay perfectly in-place after you strap them on, even if they feel snug. They are made of excellent solid construction but know that they are going to slide right down to your feet as soon as you begin to hang. With that in mind, NEVER use them bare-foot! In fact, the bigger the shoes/work boots you use, the more secure you will feel. You might find that you need to keep your feet flexed when hanging.

Second, I had lower back surgey in 1985. I'm 48 now and sometimes suffer from spasm's and or compression because I was not fused at L4-5, they just left scare tissue. So this is a weak spot in my frame. When I do too much physical work or sit for very long periods I can tweek my lower back resulting in hip rotation and or spinal compression and sometimes it takes weeks to really come out of it.
