You must inflate your Swiss ball to its fullest, & then lie down on your back across the ball -- do this very carefully the first few times, until you stretch & get the hang of it. Feel your spine bend convexly (or concavely?) across the curvature of the ball, & let your head hang backward, upside-down.
Stay in this position for 10 minutes, moving slightly -- roll the ball forward & backward, bounce up & down a bit. Let your whole body stretch & move. Let the blood flow into regions it usually reaches only weakly. Let gravity elongate you.
Great treatment for an anxiety attack, too!

Yes. It totally works, I've done this with " Steve " ( red evercise ball ) a time or two, and definitely feel 3 inches taller when I get back up. Magic I tell you.
