      Default Anybody have any experience with Inversion Tables and Personal Massage Devices?

      Been researching a personal massage device for a bit now, and pulled the trigger on the Thumper Mini Pro 2 today:

      http://www.thumpermassager.com/minipro.html

      Very excited for this. Seems to be a great tool to have handy. Everything about looks good on paper and from testimonials. Even massage therapist reviews on youtube came back favorable. I have chronic tightness in my hamstrings, which pulls on the back, giving me an aching back most days that I've learned to love with for now. Went to a chiropractor some years ago with great success, which leads meto my next question. Besides adjustments, anybody ever try an inversion table? I'm looking at something like this:

      http://www.walmart.com/ip/Inversion-Tables/17164430

      Prices seem to vary dramatically amongst models, so I'm to really sure what's up. Guess I need read up more on the specs of each to see the difference.

      Anyway, just looking for some feedback. Thank you...

      i dont have any experience with that bad boy but i do get deep tissue done on my legs and back 2x a month. i have a wrecked back and it helps a ton and is worth the money. the best people to do it of course are message therapists with sports med back ground. it not only takes my pain away but it broke up a ton of scare tissue and my muscle grows better in those areas as well. i highly suggest it to anyone. only reason i stumbled onto it is that i was blown up and compressed my verts in my lower back. traction chiro, heat and ultrasound helped a little bit but not like them breaking up the area with deep tissue.

      Does it actually align your back, making those sounds? If so I'm sold! How long you hang on it?

      I spend diff time on diff angles...some days are more comfortable than others so I go with what the body tells me it will take. But I look at it like this...we spend all our life being pulled into the ground by gravity, might as well turn up and pull the other way..lol. Seriously it has helped and I have major disk problems in the lumbar, thoracic and cervical sections of my spine..basically my back is wrecked. When I go complete inversion I put a lil pressure under the chin and get a good neck crack as well

      I've actually been looking into the inversion tables too If it really does work well aligning your back I'm definitely getting one. That combined with the deep tissue massage would do wonders for me I think.

      I'm with you on this, I'm thinking this combo will work "synergistically" (LOL!) together. Should have that deep tissue massager by the end of the week, excited to try it out. Rolling around on a softball isn't fun at all ha ha.
