The Stamina® Inversion System with the return assist handles make inversion safer and easier. These padded, half-circle assist handles are easy to grasp with a linkage between the bed and the handles that leverages your weight to make your inversion transitions smoother with less strength required. Stamina® Inversion System with Assist also features a Pellicle mesh bed to allow air circulation to your back as you invert. This is the same material that is used on high end office chairs for maximum comfort to the back. Studies show that inversion therapy has numerous positive effects on the body that help you live more vivaciously and age more gracefully. The Inversion System with Assist uses the same method many hospitals and doctors use to reduce pressure on spinal discs, ligaments, and nerve roots while increasing blood circulation, strengthening the back, and elongating the spine.
