Anti-gravity technology: we can reap the benefits today

When you hear the term “antigravity technology,” many people conjure up images of Buck Rogers and the Jetsons flying through the sky.

Or maybe you think of NASA and the space program, with astronauts learning how to deal with zero gravity on the moon?

However, antigravity technology is not a science of the future. It is something that we can benefit from right now.

Anti-gravity technology provides help in coping with today’s busy lives

“Antigravity” means against or opposite to gravity.

What that means for us is that today there is technology that can help us deal with aches, pains, and the rigors of daily life that are compounded by gravity.

For example, do your feet hurt when you get home at night because you’ve been wearing them all day? Does your back hurt from repetitive movements or stress? Do you feel pain due to stress and muscle tension?

This cutting-edge technology allows us to take advantage of the innovations of modern science. We can use technology to reduce wear and strain on muscles and joints as we go about our daily activities.

Shoes with anti-gravity technology

One of the main benefits of this technology is anti-gravity shoes. These shoes are not NASA-type gear that makes you weightless, but rather footwear designed to reduce wear and stress on your feet, muscles, and joints.

Those who suffer from plantar fasciitis have found particular benefits in this new technology shoe.

Many shoes that use this technology actually have springs built into the heel, which reduces the impact on the heel when you take a step.

Imagine a trampoline. When you jump on the trampoline, the bum absorbs the force of the downward impact as you go down. The bum then provides an upward moving force to propel you up. This same technology is the basis of anti-gravity shoes.

These shoes are designed to lessen the impact of each downward step, so that the spring absorbs, and lessens, the impact of your heel hitting the ground. The spring then provides a propulsive force for upward movement, literally “pushing” the heel off the ground.

Many who have dealt with heel pain from plantar fasciitis have found relief with shoes that use this technology.

Shoes with anti-gravity technology are available for both men and women, although women’s shoes are more easily found. The prices of this type of footwear vary from $40 to $200.

Inversion boards and boots with anti-gravity technology

Another technological innovation is inversion tables and boots.

These items allow you to hang upside down, or at least at an inverted angle, which relieves back and joint pain and reduces strain on muscles.

As we age, gravity works against us, pulling on our spine and stressing muscles, joints, and vertebrae.

This is why Grandma is so much shorter now than she was when she was a child, because gravity has literally pulled her spine down, compressing the discs and vertebrae.

Inversion boards and boots with anti-gravity technology allow you to hang with your feet up, relieving stress on compressed discs and vertebrae, and allowing your spine to lengthen.

It won’t completely reverse the effects of aging, but if you suffer from chronic back pain, you may want to consider an inversion table. My husband has one and finds that it really helps him deal with his back pain. He has a bulging disc and hanging off the inversion table allows the disc to snap back into place between the vertebrae.

Many people use their inversion tables to relieve back pain.

An inversion table can be purchased for as little as $100 (Kmart and Walmart have a simple table at this price), or you can spend up to several hundred dollars if you like.

treadmills and chairs

Today’s technology includes chairs and treadmills that also help with the stress of daily life.

The chairs look like modern recliners and allow the user to lean back, raising the feet above the heart. This type of recliner reduces stress on the spine, improves circulation, and relieves muscle tension.

Some anti-gravity chairs also provide stimulating massages.

Prices for this type of stress-free recliner range from $300 to $500.

Anti-gravity treadmills have been designed to help with running and jogging activities. The treadmill actually lifts the runner from the hips, as if he were sitting in a baby swing with his legs dangling below. The treadmill allows the runner to run, but supports most of the runner’s weight on the legs.

These types of treadmills are extremely expensive and prices can range from $50,000 to $75,000. Professional athletes often use this treadmill because it reduces stress on the legs and joints.

As you can see, we don’t have to wait for the future to reap the benefits of anti-gravity technology!
