My Father-in-law's got some. He got them in Busselton of all places, they were over $300 I think. He reckon's they're great. He had to take early retirement because his back's farked, but he tells me that it feels heaps better wearing them.

Sorry mate, 2nd hand info I'm afraid, but it's the best I can do.

These are the ones that you hook over a bar so you cna hang upside down and stretch out your back?

I've been thinking about these as well, being a fat bastard is painful.

If they are I've given you the wrong info Marty. What I am thinking of are shoes that look like moon boots, you can wear any time and are made to help correct your posture when walking. I thought that's what they were called, sorry.

nordic sports that used to be near the old sunday times building used to sell them...

one of the draw backs with them was that it also stretchs the ankle joint as that is where the pressure builds up when inverted

.. mate of mine uses one of these & reckons they're a lot easier to use & provide a level of control that the boots don't, he recommends it

agree, used one of those for about 5yrs after i broke my back, lets you adjust it so that you can increase/decrease the amount of tension you put on your spine.

Plus if you want to go from a relaxed gradual incline you put your hands above your head and it increases the incline (to vertical if you want to go that far) I would recommend them for anyone who suffers.
