The world of arthritis turned upside down????

woodbine

I borrowed a book about arthritis from the library this week which says that after studying dozens of animal skeletons researchers have discovered that the only types of mammal not to suffer from arthritis are bats and sloths. They think that it might be because hanging upside down relieves pressure on the joints.

The question is ... what can we find to hang off? :?

i think this could be a fab idea, it could solve 2 problems i have in one, arthritis and short ar*e disease the only down side i can see is all the blood going to my brain. it might make it work and then what would i do? it would be a national emergancy

Loved this idea Naomi

I've already got 'bats in the belfry' so hanging upside down should suit me very well.

As somebody who spent a lot of time walking on her hands, and hanging off bars this didnt do me any good.

Hi Naomi

Thanks for this post, yep I'm giggling too.

We would all look pretty funny in the hanging room. Perhaps it could be a new treatment. :shock:
I was going to add, hang in there but thought better of it.

We would have to be careful what we wore thought to the hanging upside down sessions or we might cause chaos for the staff looking after us. All those knickers and nowhere to go!!
