Chances are it will indeed help, but the issue as some pointed out is can you handle upside down and if so for how long. It's not super great to be upside down too long as it messes with your blood flow, tummy acid etc. but the pulled of the spine is what makes it work. You can kind of do similar right side up if you can relax your legs off the groud and brace yourself up with just your elbows on something high, locked close to your body and relax and let your body weight pull your spine. You know you're doing it right if you feel you spine pulling, though it probably does not do the entire spine well like the above would but for mid/lower back it does well for me. Awards
