My grandfather has one. I’ve tried it a few times and it’s given me not much more than slight discomfort and a rush of blood to the head, although it’s kind of fun to play on. My grandfather found it terribly uncomfortable at first, but thinks it’s helping him with some pains he’s been having.
My chiropractor has one too. He says he used to feel more energized after he’s hung on it, but that recently, he hasn’t noticed an effect.
The manufacturer has a few accessories, some included and some sold separately, some of which I found to be gimmicky, such as the “Acupressure Nodes & Lumbar Bridge”. They seem to work off the idea that stubbing your toe will make you forget about your headache.

The contraption itself seems sturdy. The plastic tends to discolor white-ish when bent, like those kinds of plastics do, but doesn’t feel like it’s about to give way. Besides the plastic back rest (which does feel sturdy, but of lower quality), the rest of it seems to have a decently good build quality to it. The pivot points especially latch in quite securely, the welds seem well done, and overall, I feel some decent attention to quality went in to its construction.

If, like my grandfather, you’re not the flexible type, I highly suggest tying a rope around the ankle clamp release thing. It works quite well if you don’t flex well enough to reach near your ankles. I tied the other end to the square support bar that runs up the back so it would always be in reach (right about knee level).

Be prepared for other people, young and old, to become curious and want to try it. It’ll be one of those “Oh, I’ve heard about those!” things for them.

Additionally, when you first set it up, make sure to have a second person nearby (to potentially rescue you) while you adjust the height of the foot/ankle support. Adjusting the height changes the balance. You’ll want the board to go back upright when you lift your chest up slightly.

Is it for you? Maybe. As with anything, I recommend researching the subject before purchasing. (Or buy it on a whim like my grandfather did. I won’t judge. :P)

Got one last time on Woot and really like it. Not tough to assemble, shipped well and looks to be high quality.

I have had some compression issues (getting shorter) and bad sciatica pain recently. After some research I found good evidence inversion would help and in a desperate act took the chance. So far so good, real good, pain is gone and I really feel better with each use. It does take some adjusting to balance just right but I have to give it a solid review based upon my brief time with it.

I’ve never seen an article of furniture that had zits before.

I use mine for decompression and a few inverted sit ups. Like all exercise equipment, works only if you use it.

Many many thanks for this reqiew that doesn’t center on “it’s odd” kind of information… my pain is savage [even by earth standards] and i’m looking for anything to give the medications & exercise & meditation & cannabis the best possible traction since I’ve been on this elemental trail type o’ thing for almost 30 years. Still here, still getting good treatment for the Intractable elements of the pain and NO SURGERY.

There is a new Lost Boys III out on video/Netflix where these fitness kids take over a gym in a rural California town and are actually vampires and they sleep on these. Pretty sturdy looking in movie.

This has not convinced me to buy this table, but now I want to watch this movie.

That you Bill? :slight_smile: Hi from VA!

I got one the last time it was on woot and I love it. I had back pain before getting it and now I have no more back pain.

15

I have just recently (in the past two weeks) tried this same model a friend of mine has. I am a truck driver for the last 35 years and feel much relief from lower back/hip pain after using. It does hurt the ankles a bit but I am sure after I get more familiar with it I will get better foot placement and improve this. The unit is rated for 300 lbs, I’m right there and this unit handled me fine, no creaks or groans. Very solid. I’m a little disappointed in woots discount as you can buy this from the manufacturers website for $265 with all accessories included,free shipping and no sales tax.

People with acid reflux will love this item.

17

Serious question…

Some people (like me) tend to become nauseated when they are positioned with their heads below the rest of their bodies.

Has this been an issue for anyone?

18

This one is Blemished, but the same price as the last Woot Sale that was New. Kind of disappointing.

19

Over priced. There are other brands of equal quality available for $100 less. You pay a premium for this one to cover their advertising expenses and higher profit margins.

I bought a Teeter inversion table (a similar model, SR-350) from woot two months ago, and have used it a couple times a week since then.

It seems to have relieved my back pain. (In the past, any time I am sitting in a car or plane for too many hours, my back would hurt, and I would end up going to a chiropractor when it got bad enough.)

The model I bought from woot was only $179. Teeter SR-350 Inversion Table
I guess the model on sale today is supposed to be “better,” though I can’t imagine why the plastic backboard of this one would be worth paying more for than the wooden backboard on mine. And mine was new, not “blemished.”

If you have back pain that requires treatment every month or two, my experience indicates that a Teeter will pay for itself in very short order - even this one, which is more expensive than the model I bought.

For those wondering about possible discomfort while hanging upside down: It is not necessary to hang with your head straight down to get benefits from this. It allows you to control very easily the angle that you are at, and I find that even just a 30 degree incline works well (and doesn’t cause the head rush that you may get at steeper angles.)

I like to start flat and gradually increase the incline over a period of a few minutes. I go all the way to vertical, stay there for a few moments, then spend 5 or 10 min at 30 degrees. It’s relaxing, not uncomfortable, and has kept me pain free so far.

The only con to my Teeter is that it is big/bulky. It’s not like you can fold it flat and slide it under the bed. You’ll need room in the basement or bedroom or someplace to keep this thing out of sight.
