Re: Does anyone own an Inversion Table?

We had one years ago, but then we broke up and he got custody of it! ${#emotions_dlg.angry}$

I've been thinking about getting another one, but get one that doesn't require much n the way of assembly. SOME of them (like one I saw at Big 5 sporting goods) came in a zillion pieces.

You can read reviews on here and HSN, among other places/

We also got the Teeter Inversion table from HSN and love it, I have neck and back problems and go to the Chiropractor all the time for adjustments, this inversion keeps me aligned between visits and for me my best friend it really helps. No smelly rubs, or medicine I don't need. very natural way to help yourself. I had to get use to locking my feet in and it took awhile to get use to the hanging. This particular one is easy to use, you can come up on your own and unlock your feet with no problems. Our whole family uses it. We got ours as a Todays Special Value, it came with some extra's and was on easy pay. They do have it as a special often so watch HSN and keep an eye out for it.

We have a Teeter, purchased from HSN maybe 6 years ago. I had one of the originals 35 years ago which I had to abandon in CA when I moved for lack of space on the moving van.

The only con is it takes up a lot of space like someone mentioned.

What you do with an IT is set the ankle clamps so you can gently go to vertical. You can go to horizontal and gently rock toward vertical just a few degrees if you wish, just by finding the right location for the ankle adjustment. When you do the gentle rocking, you feel the decompression in the painful area of the low back. Depending on your overall health, you can go deeper and deeper toward the vertical, but you don't have to go far to get benefits. It's all up to you.

I had terrible childbirths and was in excruciating pain for years. The "backswing" (it was called that decades ago) was a godsend. - Bird

We bought one but DH couldn't use it. It hurt his anckles . I couldn't tip like that so the equipment got stored until our garage sale.

I've had one for many years but since I broke my ankle I don't use it as much because of pressure on my ankle but I feel so good after inverting. I used to use it every morning but now only a couple of times a week or when I've been on my feet a lot and my lower back hurts. Shortly after I got mine they came out with inversion recliners which are just as effective as full inversion unless you want to do inversion sit ups.

If you get one Do Not use it without shoes on. It will tell you that in the instructions, but some people have to find out the hard way. Don't ask me how I know. ${#emotions_dlg.scared}$

I purchased a teeter inversion table from HSN, It is wonderful my son who is in his early 20's has back issues and doesn't like going for treatments, so he inverts and is able to put his back into place. I use it as I suffer from fibromylgia, CFS and severe lower back pain and it is amazing how it helps between my treatments. Do your research I had gotten mine on a TSV, easypays. A lot of people c/o of taking up space, but mine folds up so in between uses that is what I do. I am glad I have one and if I haven't used it for awhile, I just dust it off and upside down I go. Good Luck

One of my clients is a plastic surgeon. He has one in his office and uses it in between operations.

We bought a Teeter at D*ck's Sporting Goods (can I really not say the name of the store? Sheesh ${#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}$ ) many years ago. I swear every day at work I think "I need to hang upside down when I get home." and then when I get home I forget about it, so it doesn't get used as often as I'd like, due to my MMM (menopausal memory malfunction). ${#emotions_dlg.blush}$ But...I think it feels great! There have been times when I've had a kink or a pain in my neck, back, leg, knee, ankle, etc and after hanging on the Teeter it's felt better and sometimes even goes away. I can't hang for long b/c I don't like that light-headedness when the blood goes to your head, although that's one of the good health benefits of it. And I don't hang completely upside down b/c I don't hang often enough to get accustomed to going that far. It feels like I'm more vertical than I actually am! I don't regret buying it and my intention is to use it more often b/c I do think it's a good fitness tool. My chiropractor gave it a thumbs up when I bought it.
