Troubleshooting tips are included for common issues like improper inversion or noise, often resolved by adjusting screws or lubricating parts.

Starting with Partial Inversion

Beginners should start with partial inversion to acclimate to the experience. Set the table to a low angle, such as 20-30 degrees, using the safety strap to secure your position. This setup allows you to gradually adjust to the sensation of inversion. Always ensure the strap is adjusted according to your height and comfort level. Begin with short sessions of 5-10 minutes and gradually increase as you become more comfortable. If any discomfort or dizziness occurs, stop immediately and return to the upright position.

Progressing to Full Inversion

Once comfortable with partial inversion, you can gradually progress to full inversion. Adjust the safety strap to your desired angle, ensuring it is securely set before fully inverting. Start by increasing the inversion angle in small increments to allow your body to adapt. Full inversion provides maximum spinal decompression and stretch. Always monitor your body’s response and adjust as needed. If you experience discomfort or dizziness, return to the upright position immediately. Full inversion should only be attempted after mastering partial inversion and ensuring proper safety measures are in place.

Returning to Upright Position

To return to the upright position, slowly move your arms above your head or to your sides to reduce momentum. Release the safety strap and carefully lower yourself back. Use the table’s assisted return mechanism if available. Avoid sudden movements to prevent dizziness. If you feel unsteady, hold onto a stable object for support. Always prioritize control and safety when transitioning back to the upright position. If discomfort or dizziness occurs, stop and consult a healthcare professional before continuing. Proper technique ensures a smooth and safe return to the starting position.
