  Ahhh, THAT'S what that's called!  I was picturing an inversion table as
  turning your whole body upside down.

  What you describe sounds like a labor-saving device for a vertical  69
(PLG)

    An inversion table is a thing where you lie on a table, clamp your ankles
  in
    some braces,
    and then the table tilts so you are sort of hanging upside down by your
    ankles.  It's
    good for decompressing the vertebrae and making your back feel better.
If
    there's a
    Relax the Back store or the equivalent near where you live you may be
able
  to
    go in and
    try it for free.

    What's an inversion table? Do you mean 'immersion table'? 'Inversion
table'
    sounds like arithmetic!

    I've never tried any of those techniques so forgive me if it IS
'inversion
    table' and I'm screwy!
    (Remember in the old Warner Bros. cartoons when someone--usually Bugs' or
    Daffy's rival or a secondary character--acted...well...screwy!--that a
  little
    guy would come walking thru the cartoon, holding a sign with a drawing of
a
    big screw (not "THE" Big Screw---that's a different matter entirely and
not
    sophisticated enough for a WB cartoon, so get yer mind out of the
    gutter!!....or is it m-m-me?!)
    Anyway, they'd come thru w/a sign with a picture of a big screw with a
'+'
    sign and a picture of a baseball. Anybody a WB fan here and remember
that?!
    LOL!

    I just love old WB cartoons...my ex was like Bugs Bunny, I swear.
Sometime
    I'll tell you the many reasons why!

    Inversion table, huh....WOTTHEHELL IS IT?!
    Thanks--I like to learn something new every day!

    PS: AND, I'm not shy to say this either:
    WHO is John Lilly? Any relation to Eli and his big drug company? (Proud
  maker
    of Methadone, Prozac, and Valium! My, what a resume! ;-)
