About The Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table

The typical inversion table consists of a steel 'A' frame, with a steel and fabric or nylon bed attached and pivotted at the frames apex. This bed has, at one end a headrest and at the other a clamp for fixing the users ankles. Once the ankles are secured the bed can be rotated so the user is in an inverted position, ie laying back with the head below the feet. The inversion table is infinitely and easily adjustable; with only very minor arm movements the user can lay back at any angle, from horizontal to hanging vertically suspended by the feet.

The Benefits of Inversion Tables

The benefits of inversion start with just 5 minutes a day inverted to 20°. Although you can, of course, stay on for as long as you like and go all the way to vertical for that total decompression. Depending on the extent of your back pain, inversion therapy can be used to relax and stretch muscles, decompress weight bearing joints and realign the spine taking pressure off nerves and allowing discs to rehydrate. Once suspended by their ankles a user has the freedom to flex, extend or rotate the trunk in a weight and stress free environment, in order to accomplish stretching, strengthening and joint mobilization of the spine. Taking pressure off the nerves allows inflammation to reduce and gives significant back pain relief.
