Exercise4: This is a breathing technique called Brahma Mudra [3][4]

We go to the most comfortable angle of inversion and will fix the table on it. Then we will put our hands next to our body, with elbows facing down and palms facing upwards.

Slowly, while inhaling and staring at the tip of your nose, start turning your head to the right as far as you can, without tension.
Then, when exhaling, and keep on staring at the tip of your nose, return your head to the center.
Repeat this to the left.
After that, inhaling, take your head up, while still looking at the tip or your nose.
Start exhaling and return back to the center.
Finally, inhaling, star moving you head down and at the same time moving your eyes up to the point between your eyebrows and your chin reaches your collarbone.
When star exhaling, slowly return you head to the center and your eyes gazing the tip of your nose.

On each inhalation and exhalation, go very slowly.

This breathing technique is usually done in sitting or standing position. However, when you are upside down this, not just relaxes your neck and jaw muscles.

Exercise5: This is breathing exercises called Alternate nostril breathing [5]

As you are in this position:

We begin with complete inhalation through the left nostril by occluding the right nostril with the thumb of the right hand.
Next, plug the left nostril with the ring finger and exhale through the right.
Inhale through the right nostril.
Relax the ring finger, plug the right nostril with the thumb and exhale through the left nostril.

Final thoughts

Inversion therapy help your body recover from the overwhelming pressure of gravity, as well as the stress of daily activities.

Additionally, Inversion therapy reduces the pressure on your joints and muscle and, thus helping for extending, relaxing your neck and removing all blockages from this area.

As a consequence of which, you will have a calm mind and your nervous system.

Last but not the least, the Inversion therapy is the least time consuming, giving the fastest recovery from your back pain and, from my point of view, the cheapest of all other therapies.
