Hanging upside down like a bat feels good! Do you do this?

So, here's the thing. I have always been into regular exercise and I feel good but there has always been that slight ache after exercise on the lower back and it is not exactly painful but there is a slight amount of discomfort. So, here I am not being able to sleep one night and this was about 2 am and so I got up and turned on the television and low and behold there's a shopping channel advertising some inversion table and this introduced me to the term, 'inversion therapy'. I liked the look of this thing and so I made a purchase and I can tell you it is absolutely fantastic. You basically lie flat on the table and you lock your ankles in and you and slowly balance using your arms and eventually you swing upside down. This is really good for the spine and back and it gives you a real stretch. Over time due to gravity the spine is being compressed and as we get older we begin to slouch and this cannot be good. So, that's what I do each morning and night, I hang upside down by my ankles and I remain in that position for about 5 to 10 minutes, you can do more but it does take a huge leap of faith when you first try it as you just have to let yourself go! My back feels great and I feel an inch taller and my posture has definitely improved. What do you think? Ever tried inversion therapy?
