It may well be bad for TOS, but it might also be good:
"For years prior to my Pilates practice I experienced significant compression in C6 and C7, which resulted in shooting pain through the shoulder and down the arm. I purchased an inversion table. Within two weeks of twice-daily use (5 minutes at a time), the pain was gone. I continue to use it nearly every day (once per day for one or two minutes) for maintenance. "

If he got decompression in his lower C spine then it must decompress the T and L as well.
In any case, I volunteer to be the guinea pig!
