How the Anti-Gravity Swing Works

Man Using Anti-Gravity Swing
The Anti-Gravity Swing reverses the force of gravity upon the body. As you swing down, your body weight creates its own natural traction. The continuous up-and-down motion creates a form of rhythmic traction that causes the muscles to stretch and relax. A proper balance enables you to control the equipment with only the slightest movement of your arms.
At AGS Incorporated, we believe that you can help yourself, and you do not have to live with pain. Our Anti-Gravity Swing can provide relief and healing without drugs, medication, or manipulation.

What the Anti-Gravity Swing Does for You

Relieves Sore and Stiff Neck
The Anti-Gravity Swing helps relieve sore and stiff necks through its natural self-traction. While the equipment is angled down, turning your head slowly from side to side increases stretching and decompression. You can experience this without needing a harness and a weight attached to a doorframe.
Strengthens Muscles
With daily use of the Anti-Gravity Swing, you can strengthen your muscles while restoring proper alignment and symmetry of strength. This also gives you freedom from pain for longer periods while controlling and even correcting problem areas.
Relieves Stress and Tension
Another benefit of rhythmic traction by the Anti-Gravity Swing is relief from stress and tension. As your body gently decompresses itself with each downward movement, you will feel a sense of relaxation and calmness.
Decompresses Painful and Aching Joints
Using the Anti-Gravity Swing helps enhance blood circulation. Vertebrae separate, and pressure is removed from compressed and deteriorating discs. You will feel a sense of relief as self-traction decompresses and eliminates pressure from painful and aching arthritic joints, such as the shoulder, hip, and knee.
An arthritic shoulder joint can make it nearly impossible to perform the simple task of putting your arms over your head. The downward motion of the Anti-Gravity Swing helps improve shoulder strength and range of movement significantly. Your constricted shoulder joint will once again function without pain.
Provides a Simple and Easy Form of Exercise
While completely inverted on the Anti-Gravity Swing, move your body from side to side and gently stretch to improve muscle density and strength.
You may also do sit-ups on the equipment to strengthen your core and achieve the highest level of spinal decompression. Although you may not fully achieve this, you will feel your leg and stomach muscles strengthen and tighten with each attempt. Your spine reacts similarly to a chain's links when fully extended becoming longer, straighter, and stronger.

Inversion Therapy: Gravity Traction for Your Back and Overall Good Health

Inversion Helps Increase Oxygen Flow to the Brain
In How to Increase Your Intelligence, Win Wenger noted that "only those brain cells which are close to an ample capillary blood supply are thoroughly developed. Away from such source of supply, brain cells remain undeveloped and useless." He then shares that "upside-down activities" increase oxygen supply to the brain. He states, "In short, you can much improve the physical state of your entire brain." A brain that is nourished better simply works better.
Meanwhile, in The Brain Book, Peter Russell notes that brain deterioration is not directly linked to age alone. Instead, it is also caused by hardening arteries and high blood pressure, which result from decreased oxygen supply to the brain. Considering that the heart must work against gravity to pump blood to your brain, the body's largest oxygen consumer, reducing loss of cognitive function may be realized by increasing oxygen supply to the brain with inversion. Keeping the brain active and well oxygenated could sustain cognitive ability throughout your life. Although it is only 3 percent of the body's total weight, the brain consumes 25 percent of the body's oxygen intake.
Examples of Disc Problems
Inversion Decongests Internal Organs
Internal organs, such as the stomach, intestines, and kidneys, descend in the cavities of the body from the constant downward force of gravity during the aging process. Digestion and waste elimination problems are also common symptoms of prolapsed organs. Apart from weight gain, the relocation of internal organs also causes "middle-age spread" or that spare tire around the waist. Inversion can help stimulate organs to resume their normal shape and position within the body.
Inversion Helps Reduce the Effects of Aging Caused by the Force of Gravity
Most people will lose about 1/2 to 2 in (1 to 5 cm) in height during their lifetime due to thinning discs. As a baby, your discs are comprised of 90 percent water, but it decreases to 70 percent by age 70. You can prevent this and maintain more of your original height through an active inversion program.

Other Benefits of Inversion
Some people claim that increasing the circulation of blood to the head through inversion:
  • Improves Hearing and Vision
  • Improves the Color and Tone of Your Skin
  • Improves Hair Health and Growth
  • Stimulates Mental Alertness
  • Increases Blood Supply to the Scalp
Note: Consult your physician before starting an inversion program if you have high blood pressure.
