    Nonplussed Museum Staff: Do not put yourself into the limb stretcher. Yes, even if you think It'll really help your back. Please just go to a physical therapist if it is that bad.

    Omg I've thought this multiple times over the past few years. Like bruh, there has to be some amount where that feels amazing.

    Hang upsidedown from something. Maybe pull a little with your arms. It feels almost as good as you think it does.

    I just widen my stance and let my upper body hang down like I'm trying to touch the ground directly between my feet.

    If I feel there's still a bit left, I'll grab my ankles or the ends of my pant legs and pull.

    It's so good, like a "the best things in life are free" moment. (over 40 here btw)

    Over 30? Pffft I'm not even 25 and would love to be drawn.

    ....why is the condemned in a shallow pool of water? Most racks were tables if I recall correctly, what does the water do in this instance?

    Edit: Turns out most artists had never been in the presence of an actual rack and thus just made shit up.

    Dead hangs from a chinup bar are great for my shrimp posture back. I guess you could throw on ankle weights to get an authentic experience.

    That's why I have had an inversion table ever since I dated a masseuse that owned one in my early 20s. I'm 45 and my back and knees don't hurt. Walking 5 miles a day probably helps there, but I can feel tension and compression relax when I flip upside down and hang by my ankles for 5 minutes a day.
