Good, but missing some vital information
I found some useful information in this book, but some of the main info I was looking for was not there. I’ve owned an inversion table for about five years but until recently hadn’t used it that often. Becoming more aware of all the health benefits of it, I’ve decided to make this part of my daily routine. I bought this book hoping to find info on the best way to go about this. One of my main inquiries was how often to do it and for how long. Well, the book did address the how often part- once a day starting out, up to twice a day thereafter. But practically no information was given regarding amount of time. The only info presented regarding time is “start slowly, just give it a minute or two..just do a couple minutes each time for the first few days.. don’t do longer than five minutes the first month”.Ok, great. But what about after the first few days? Should I move up to 5 minutes then? And how many days would I stay at 5 minutes? What about after the first month? What is the ideal amount of time to work towards? Can maximum benefit be achieved in 10 or 15 minutes, or would that require 30 minutes or longer? Or can I stay at 5 minutes and still get just as much benefit?I really wish this information would have been included.

But it is a good introductory to the practice
It really didn't provide that much more information than I had already found on the internet. But it is a good introductory to the practice. I have a bad hip and lower back pain and use my inversion machine twice a day to relieve the pain. This book does give instructions on how to assemble your own low impact version at home--very cheaply. But I got my machine on Amazon for just under a hundred bucks... just look around?

I got the real thing
I got the same book I saw on Amazon. It was new and I love it. I didn't have this book. I am a former Weeki Wachee Mermaid.It is filled with great pictures and the history of Weeki Wachee which started in 1945. Visit Weeki Wachee Spring of Mermaids. Website-- The roadside attraction was made a State Park in 2008. Mermaid shows are still performed. I was a Mermaid for two years 1961-1963. I have several postcards still for sale. They are still so popular even after 62 years. So much to say. If you are interested you will have a lot to look forward to.

Great inversion guide
I am so glad I got this book on inversion. I really enjoyed how well researched it was and found it to be insightful, easy to read and understand and very well laid out. The background information on why to do it, how to do it, all the health benefits, etc. I felt was all very well done and described in such a way that I want to try this myself. I'm inspired to act like a bat now and get inverted!

This really sucks
So many typing errors. The writer really pulled this one out of her ass. She goes into all this random stuff that's totally off topic like about how her daughter was anorexic, and stuff about hair and skin care--being sure to promote her book about skin brushing. Some of us have serious back pain and don't want to hear about your beauty regimen. Book doesn't have a broad scope. It didn't even mention aerial yoga and how much superior that is to using an inversion table. (At my physical therapist's office at one of the best medical schools in the country, they don't even have an inversion table and they said it doesn't really help. They said it would be better to do an aggressive yoga routine (like three hours or so a day) if you want to actually get over your pain. The book barely touches on yoga, it just says some stuff about doing headstands and then goes into this crazy thing about how maybe yoga isn't for Christians because it could go against their religious beliefs.

Inversion Therapy in need of Revisions/Editing
Although the information in the book was helpful, the number of editing mistakes distracted from the content. The book would be improved with a good edit & then re-release. As it is now, I would recommend it with a disclaimer - good content, weak presentation.

Really Great...
Luv it ..just what I needed and easy to put together and operate..I had a recline board for years and used allot but it took up so much space so got rid of..Suddenly years later by back starts acting up... this one so easy to use and folds up easy. .almost like an ironing board. .so easy to store.I use a couple times a week. .I changes the security strap to a chain though.. much easier to calibrate and safer..

Grateful that I can try something other then surgery.
Finally it’s here, yes. I so needed this book, at age 60+ I am in a lot of pain with my own sciatica issues and it’s gotten worse as the years have dragged on. I have just been impatient waiting for this book to arrive so I can finally try to do something about it. Surgery is my last resort. So far from what I have read and skimmed through, it is very interesting and informative. Truly looking forward to reading it all. Thank you Mia Campbell for your insight and knowledge - for those of us who endure the pain that sciatica can cause - this book gives us options and ideas on how we can do something about it, without surgery. Thank you so much. Now I’m just saving the monies needed for the inversion table, with COVID19 its gonna take awhile. To all, please be safe during these horrific times.

Inverting for health
I have always been interested in different types of therapy and as inversion therapy was relatively new to me I was delighted to come across this book.Mia Campbell has certainly left no stone unturned. The book is very well researched outlining the different methods that can be used for inversion therapy as well as the contraindications.The book is also enhanced by the inclusion of Mia's own practice of the therapy. I am looking forward to trying some of the methods myselfA fascinating book well worth reading.

Interesting
I though it was very interesting since I was hesitating on purchasing an inversion table. Now I’m more convinced than ever !

Malísimo
Ya cualquiera puede ser "autor publicado" en amazon. Este ejemplar contiene una corta investigación acerca de la terapia de inversión, pero no aporta nada nuevo, ninguna información que no pueda encontrarse en internet. Obtuve mayor y mejor información de foros donde los usuarios cuentan sus experiencias.
