How often should I do decompression for my back?

A good rhythm is 1-2 classes a week - regularity matters far more than piling on sessions. The body needs time between classes to actually absorb what happened, so "little and often" beats an intense burst followed by nothing.

Here is why the pace matters: gravity presses down on your spine all day, every day, and hanging in the lianas gently reverses that, stretching instead of compressing. Think of each spinal disc like a sponge - under constant pressure it stays flattened, but given real time to decompress, space comes back and pressure comes off, and it can soak up moisture again. That soaking-up process is gradual, not instant, which is exactly why spacing sessions out works better than rushing them.

Most people feel noticeably lighter after their very first class. Any tightness or unfamiliar soreness tends to ease somewhere around class 4 to 6, and a result that actually holds usually takes about 10 classes. None of this happens overnight, and that is normal - the body is simply learning it is safe to let go a little more each time.

Everything also starts small: even just a few seconds of hanging at first, at your own pace, guided by a trainer who watches how you move and breathe. If you are ever in Bali, our studio in the Canggu area runs small guided classes where you can feel this rhythm for yourself: https://bookgravity.com/canggu

A short honest note: this is a wellness practice, not medical treatment. If your back pain is severe, shoots down a leg, or comes with numbness or weakness, please see a qualified professional first.
