Inversion tables and Kyphosis? I am a 31 year old male that just started working out again, cardio and weight training. One part of my body I always thought was permanent was my kyphosis (mild-moderate humping in upper back) Then I read about rolfing a few years ago and how it has helped some people actually straighten the spine. There are no rolfers within 250 miles of me, and from what I understand it is a 10 session deal. I think I also read where rolfing was to counteract the forces of gravity. Then I saw an ad for Teeters hang ups last week, and I am VERY curious to try this out. Has anyone had any success with better posture/reducing "hump back" with this device?? I've heard where people have actually grown an inch sometimes, and I would have to believe that would be a result of a straighter back. I think I am going to get one regardless, but I'm trying to keep my expectations based in reality on what I can expect from it.

They are on eBay for like $100.
