With regard to new users it is extremely recommended that you do not fully invert (go upside down). Also, if you are inverting for the first time, you just want to stay in the inverted position for no more than 3 minutes. <a href="https://setupmyhomegym.com/inversion-table-for-scoliosis/" rel="nofollow">does inversion therapy really work</a><br />Owaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04141571346599415232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-38835123489485178172016-06-10T16:02:21.430-04:002016-06-10T16:02:21.430-04:00It's lessened in some ways and in others has b...It's lessened in some ways and in others has become more painful.

As for anyone with Scoliosis, you are the only person I know. From a few comments and posts in the past, I know it can be very hard and painful for you. So I give you all my best well wishes and such. For what that's worth to you. <br /><br />As for travel, I think you would LOVE Ireland. It's such a beautiful country. My friend and I road from Dublin to Belfast one year. It was breathtaking. Dublin was great for all the old pubs, one, the Brazen Head, established in 1198. Yes, you read that right. 1198. While I was there I took some photos and even a short video of people passing by. I'm crazy like that. And then of course Belfast for the Titanic Experience. I don't recall if you checked out my photos on that or not, but they are all on my blog under the photography tab. If you are so included. I do so hope you get the chance to go some day. It's amazing!Jeffrey Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973104877310669196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-87077233576971685442016-06-09T06:08:10.818-04:002016-06-09T06:08:10.818-04:00Thanks Chrys.

I'm glad you haven't had any problems with it. And I can relate to your insecurity. My arms are also very long.

It is such a beautiful place and I love the accents :)<br /><br />It sounds like you went through quite an ordeal with scoliosis. My scoliosis is minor compared to yours. When I was 18 or 19, my doctor told me that I had scoliosis. I had no idea! My waist was uneven, which I thought was odd, but I hadn't noticed any other symptoms. I have since noticed that my arms and legs are very long, but my upper body is short because of that slight curve in my back. Now, I consider myself blessed because it has not given me any problems beyond image insecurity and an occasional backache.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165210377903518274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9133489888936435050.post-53024056804968113402016-06-07T16:21:33.704-04:002016-06-07T16:21:33.704-04:00I've been very lucky throughout my life.

As a kid one of the neighbor girls had it and wore a cumbersome brace that seemed more trouble than help. But it was the only way she could stand or walk. She had her hands full trying to babysit five siblings who (naturally) often took advantage of her limited mobility.
