These things are real good. There are some more expensive ones that have a remote control, but those go too slow. By the time I’m inverted, I’m already dizzy from all the blood rushing to my head. The gravity inverters are much better. My dad owns one, and I love using it.

However, my cheap fix for stretching out my back is simply laying on the edge of my bed and have someone hold my feet so I don’t slide off :wink:

Is this really worth over $100 more than the most popular inversion table on Amazon? Why?

5

Time to learn all about the benefits of inversion

I bought the ep-560 a few months ago. This looks like it has a kinder foot lock. Absolutely love the 'Hang Up", and it has worked wonders for an achy lower back. The Teeter is a lot more sturdy than the junk they sell at the big box stores. I consider it money well spent, use it every day, and appreciate the results.

7

If you pull from the front or top of the foot, your weight pulls the curvature FURTHER, not less, and it is quite painful. You need to pull from the back, or more effectively bend forward over a padded rail to stretch the spine in the lower back.

In short, this thing will be an expensive toy you’ll use once and never touch again.

8

Is this thing safe to use alone? Do I need someone present to guide me upright? I can imagine myself using this alone. I’m upside down for long time and my head already blood clogged and can’t get myself upright position.

9

I usually don’t spend more than 10 or so seconds upside down just because of my head. If you’re worried, I’d recommend having someone there just in case. You wouldn’t want your abs to cramp up trying to force your way back up if something happens!

10

If you set the apparatus up properly, that is set it to balance correctly by following the instructions, you will never have a problem getting yourself upright again.
I have one these and love it as much for the inversion as for the zen like meditation needed to change the angle with small position changes of your arms and hands.

It’s not until you are fully inverted and the stretch of your body changes the balance enough that a slight assist from the padded handle is necessary to right yourself.

If set up right no assistance is needed.

NOTE: If you have health issues that require you to be on blood thinners or have breathing or lung issues this is not for you.

Go to a sporting good store and poke around the $100 inversion chairs and compare it with the Teeter. You’ll find that the cheaper models are rickety as fuck, wobble, don’t even look like they could support anyone comfortably. I don’t know about you but if I am suspended upside down the last thing I want to happen is for it tip over or fall apart. The Teeter models are very sturdy and also rated to handle larger people.

If you balance it properly, you can go from upright to upside down simply by moving your hands from waist level and elevating above your head. To go back to upright just lower hands towards body. You’ll figure it out as you go along, initially when you start out it will be hard to go inverted until you make adjustments to account for your height and weight.

I bought one a few years back for
a bulging disk (L5).

It really did not take any pressure off the disk or alleviate the pain.

Kind of cool if you like to red out.

Get one used on craigslist for $40 to see if you really would benefit from it.

Thank you for your expert opinion. It seems however there are more than a few people who enjoy the results of this so called toy (myself included). I have used mine more than one time. I think your statement is a bit presumptuous.

You mean the manufacturer of a device says it has benefits?

For something a little more neutral: Mayo Clinic

I would agree with this link. If you have a defect in your spine, this won’t fix it, may make it worse!
If you have periodic backache, these things are great. I used one once/twice a week, always felt better after. had a hip replacement almost a year ago and my surgeon said absolutely not allowed anymore.

You can find similar items for less money at your local store, nothing special about teeter.

17

Agreed. Teeter is the Dyson of inversion tables. There are much less expensive tables of similar quality.

I bought a Teeter the last time I saw one pop up on Woot and I love it and use it all the time. It has a strap so you can keep it from going fully inverted if you don’t want to go all the way. Once you adjust it properly, you can go upside down to right side up just by swinging your arms. I use it alone all the time without fear of getting stuck.

This thing is built like a tank, really sturdy, but isn’t too heavy that you can’t move it around by yourself. It also folds up a little bit for when you want to get it out of the way.

You won’t want one if you have a hip replacement, so check with your doctor before using if you’ve had any surgeries like that.

For anyone who has experience with an inversion table…
have you had any problem with nausea when your head is lower than your torso?

I have not had that problem. If you have gastric reflux, this may make it worse.

I don’t own this model. The model I own allows you to control the angle of inversion. Teeter recommends you don’t go beyond 70% until you’re comfortable at that angle. It also says you can get the same benefit without full inversion.
