Send off for the free Teeter information brochure and take the Teeter height challenge. Measure yourself in the morning and again last think at night before you go to bed. On average we loose between 1/2" and 3/4" in height over the course of a day due to gravity compressing the soft tissues in our bodies. When lying down the compressive forces within our joints are reduced by up to 75%, but they don't disappear completely, therefore although moisture is re-absorbed it returns very slowly. Inverting allows us to reduce those compressive forces completely to zero, greatly expediting the recovery process.
Results may not be typical and vary by user.
Please check with your physician prior to inverting.

- When I first saw the Teeter Inversion Table being demonstrated on [TV] while channel surfing it caught my eye. I watched and it made sense. I told a friend about it and she said "her mother inverted for 20 min. a day for 20 yrs., and when she died at 84 she had no wrinkles and looked much younger than her years."...
- Since I have been using your product I have noticed a stretching and strengthening of my abs and groin. Also, my back feels better. I have been using weights for years, participated in a few power lifting tournaments and I wish I would have started inverting years ago as part of my dailty workout regimen.

- I am a diagnostic radiologist who has abused his back through sports, hard work and horses for years. About seven years ago, I began to experience back and left leg pain that progressed rapidly. An MRI revealed a lot of degenerative changes in my lumbar spine with two intervertebral discs that were herniated and for all practical purposes "worn out"...
- I've been on antiinflammatories for at least five years with some minimal relief. Five years ago I began to experience numbness in some of my left toes with sciatica in the left hip and leg. This progressed to the point of constant pain and loss of feeling. Six months ago I began to have loss of motor function in my left toes. I have seen the poor results of surgery on a daily basis on MRIs of lumbar discectomy. That was not an option.
A friend who is a sales rep for radiographic equipment, whom I have known for 15 years, told me about the inversion table. My friend had suffered back problems for years and I had seen him many times at the hospital in terrible pain, so I knew he had tried everything. He told me how he had become pain free in about two months using an inversion table. If it had come from almost anyone else I would not have believed it. I ordered one that day. In one week of use, twice to three times per day, the numbness in my toes improved 100%. During the second week I slept my first pain free night in five years. I'm starting my third week tomorrow. This probabaly won't work for everyone, nothing does, but it is helping me greatly. I'll give you a follow-up in acouple of months.

- I was watching your infomercial about two months ago and was very interested in the concept of hanging upside down. The clincher was the elder man of 88 running the hurdles!...
- I have felt pain in my lower back for many year and have gone to doctors, therapists and chiropractors for relief. The pain always comes back! I have rigged up ropes on the bed to stretch, that works, however there had to be something better! I went searching for your machine locally and found a Distributer who sells your product! It has been a month and here are my results. I get immediate relief after using the F5000 Inversion table. I went to the barber shop and the barber asked me if I was taking enhancement pills to help the hair grow on the back of my head. I mentioned to her that I have been using the inversion table and another barber said that she uses the same inversion table and that inverting does stimulate hair growth!! A hidden plus that I was not looking for! My wife noticed the facial color more vibrant than before. I went to the acupuncturist and he noticed the texture of my back muscles much more relaxed than the previous month.
I would recommend this machine to anyone who is in pain. Also consider a website chatroom so we can share techniques as that first lady suggested in the beginning of the testimonials. My first concern was my knee replacement. Would it tolerate the hanging upside down. Well, I am here to tell you it is tolerating it very well.
Thanks for the concept and from a welder to the engineer, you did a mighty fine job.

- I suffered a severe lower back injury in September 2001 which required surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation. It took me almost one year to feel somewhat normal, but I was never without back pain and always needed pain medication to just get by...
- My doctor had diagnosed me with degenrative disc disease, or arthritis of the spine. By the Spring of 2004, my condition had worsened and spread to my neck. I was experiencing severe pain in my neck with numbness radiating down my right arm. My doctor told me I would need another surgery to decompress the discs in my neck which were pinching the nerves to my arm. Without the surgery, I was told I could suffer permanent nerve damage and possibly the use of my arm. I had read all the literature concerning neck surgery and the risks were very significant. Around this time, my wife saw the Teeter Hang Ups commercial on television and heard you speak of "decompression". She immediately told me about your product. I looked into inversion therapy and it seemed to be worth a try, after all, anything is better than another surgery.
I consulted with my doctor before I tried the Teeter F5000 and he agreed it was okay for me to try inversion therapy. I started out slowly, but quickly gained confidence and felt almost immediate relief from my pain and the numbness in my arm decreased significantly. As a matter of fact, I underwent an electro-mylograph (EMG) test after 2 weeks of using the Teeter F5000. The EMG consisted of a neurologist inserting needles into my arm and neck to measure the electrical performance of my nerves. Of the many readings the doctors took, only one was slightly out of tolerance. In a short 2 weeks of inversion therapy, I was virtually cured and did not require surgery. Today as I write this, I no longer experience any numbness in my arms, and my back and neck pain are virtually nonexistant. I went from prescription pain medication to one aspirin a day! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, the Teeter F5000 and inversion therapy has given me back my life!

- I purchased the F5000 Inversion Table (Hang Ups) 30 days ago from Relax The Back in Charlotte, NC. I've been inverting twice a day for 30 days. Inversion postures were not really new to me. I have a background as a yoga teacher and was occasionally practicing inversion postures (the headstand and shoulder stand), which always made me feel relaxed and focused. The downside of doing headstands is that you can't stay on your head for a long period of time without experiencing soreness around your arms and on the top of your head...
-
At the time I bought the F5000, I was experiencing symptoms of peri-menopause (hot flashes, anxiety, insomnia, night sweats, mood swings). I took an appointment with the OBGYN, and tested positive as being peri-menopausal. I bought the inversion table after having my results. I read an article published in the Yoga Journal in February 1996 from Ellen Sander that inversion postures do alleviate if not eliminate the menopause symptoms. As yoga teachers we are also taught that inversions are excellent for menopause. I also realized that if I seriously wanted to stay away from hormone therapy I would have to invert twice daily for at least 15 minutes. The F5000 inversion table allows me to invert for a longer period of time in a much more comfortable position than doing a headstand.
After using the table twice a day for 30 days and building my time up to 20 to 30 minutes during the weekends, I was completely back on track, I had more energy and felt on top of my game. 95% of the symptoms were gone and I'm convinced that the remaining 5% is going to fade away with time and commitment. I practice a complete inversion for at least 10 minutes then move back to a 60 or 30 degree angle. It prevents my ankles to getting too sore. I'm 5'4, 130 lbs. and in excellent shape.
I am so glad to be back to myself again. I also work in an office where I have to deal with stress. My vitality is not only higher but I feel very calm after each inversion and by God, people even tell me that I look younger! LOL Oh well, not that I'm very old, I'm 46, but it is amazing what inversion can do to the quality of one's life.
I feel strongly that in a few months from now I will experience additional benefits from having made inversion part of my daily routine. Of course, it's like anything else, you need to commit to it and do it to fully benefit from inversion. Frankly, to get rid of these uncomfortable symptoms, to get rid of the anxiety from menopause and stay away from hormone therapy, I would sleep upside down all night like Gomez of the Adams Family. Hormone therapy is not an option for me. Yes, I do have an excellent nutrition and juice with vegetables on a regular basis and also see a Naturopath for my vitamins. I do consult a tradition doctor as well when I need to. I like to explore both sides and then make my own decision.
I am not really surprised with the result I got from inverting. I have some understanding from my Phys Ed Degree of how the endocrine system works and I believe that if you bring more blood into the glands there will work more efficiently. If you bring more blood to the brain it will also work better. Menopause is a shift in our hormones. It's pure physiology. It's nothing mysterious. I don't skip a day and I am really looking forward to it. Physically and mentally I feel on top of my game. My memory and capacity to focus is much sharper. There is also something fun about being inverted, just like when we were kids, right? Now and then I watch TV while I invert or talk on the phone if I need to. Crazy inverters...we need a support group to share about our experience: "The Inverters Anonymous". This purchase is by far the best purchase I have made to support my well being and I would strongly recommend people to buy it.
With all that being said, I hope people will enjoy your table. My advice is to be progressive with it, work the inversion in increments. Once you're on the table take your time and as we say in yoga, "There is no where to go and nothing to do, but to stay in the present moment."

- It is such an honor and a pleasure to let others know that your product can change lives. I have bought a treadmill since I last communicated with you, and I am "walking" a half-mile on it everyday. I never would have had been able to make such a decision if I hadn't first bought your inversion table...
- When I first started out on the treadmill, I walked for only 10 minutes, then worked up to 15, then 20, etc. My next goal is to walk 3/4 of a mile, then go for a mile! I have been too much the "couch potato" during the years that I was fighting breast cancer, so I knew that I needed to start out slow and work up to whatever goals I set. Besides being able to walk a 1/2 mile on my treadmill, I am now able to take my precious German Shepherd Dog for her walks, which she dearly loves. I am now on the way to losing the extra weight that I gained, from not being able to be on my feet for no longer than 10 or 15 minutes, due to horrific pain. The inversion table helps to control the low back pain that had robbed me of my life.
I meant it when I said that the first time on the inversion table, felt like heaven! Tears came to my eyes, as I felt the muscles, ligaments, etc. just kind of "give up" and relax. It felt so wonderful. I invert 2-3 times a day. I don't ever want to have the pain that I was experiencing before I got the table. Thank you so much for bringing such a hope-giving product to folks like me!!!!

- I looked around at all the various brands and talked to several people who owned them. After selecting what I thought were the top three tables, I went to look at the quality of each one to determine the best...
- It has always been my experience that purchasing the best quality will ensure long and happy use of a product, so I wanted to make sure I was buying the best. You may spend a bit more, but it is well worth it in the long run. When I compared the three tables, there was absolutely no doubt in my mind as to which I was going to buy; the Hang Ups. The other brands were not only of lesser quality, but at 6'1" and 210 pounds, I did not feel comfortable with their durability or sturdiness. The Hang Ups is a very solid and well-constructed piece of equipment that is easy to use. It also withstands the abuse my 25-year old athletic son gives it when doing exercises.
With the daily dose of glucosamine and using my inversion table, I have gone totally pain-free for the last three years. I could not be happier with my Hang Ups table and give it my highest recommendation over everything else on the market. And just in case you're wondering whether to get the anti-gravity boots or not, trust me when I say it makes "hanging" so much more enjoyable and comfortable when you have the boots.

- The idea of elevating aching feet is not a novel one to me, but with the inversion table it takes on a whole new meaning; I can LITERALLY feel the pains and aches melting away. The inverted position relieves stress from my "compressed" joints and back and improves circulation in my feet (they used to be cold all the time - a classic sign of poor circulation)...
- The first time I used it was the first time in a LONG time that I had a full night sleep, after stretching myself for just a half an hour on the inversion table. I woke up rested and I had NO stiff muscles or joints. Heck, I didn't even need coffee and aspirin that morning!!! In closing, I think the inversion table is a health savior. I strongly urge everyone to buy one.

- Just to let you know that I am a proud owner of the Inversion Table since Aug. 1998. I must say it is a great machine, very professionally built. I truly believe that it has helped me with not only stretching my spine but also helps me maintain it's alignment...
- I make the time to use it on a regular basis, in my busy work schedule even if it is only for a few minutes. I feel especially great after the inversion when the blood circulates much more easily throughout the body, including the head. My wife has also learned to appreciate this machine. We both will hang on to this machine for as long as we can. It ales makes a great conversation piece, when our friends and neighbors see it. Congratulations!

- I purchased the inversion table 3 years ago. I had a very bad time with my back and couldn't stand in the morning when I awoke. The premise seemed to make sense and so I ordered it...
- I did however have one concern. When I was little I suffered from motion sickness and to this day have a problem from time to time with dizziness due to the muscles in my neck. I set up the inversion table as soon as I received it. However, I was afraid to invert even slightly because I was afraid of the rush of blood to my head. So I walked around it daily for about three weeks. Everyone else in my house used it right away and really enjoyed it but I couldn't get up the nerve. Finally my husband insisted and I got on. I didn't invert right away but was so surprised when there wasn't a blood rush to my head and I wasn't nauseous or dizzy! I was so surprised. What a wonderful feeling to get the weight off my legs and my back! I was thrilled. I use the table regularly now and haven't had a back problem since. My friends can't believe how I've recovered and I can't believe how much better I feel. My neck problem has reduced in severity as well. I never expected that! Thank you! I love it!

- My Gym Inversion Table has been my "Life Saver" what a "Fabulous product", I truly cannot say enough about it. I tell all my friends and co-workers that using Inversion Table daily is why I am still able to work...
- I am a 43 year old nurse, and two years ago I herniated a disc and had 2 bulging discs. I bought my Inversion Table after that injury and I have to say that it has been "THE BEST" [dollars] that I have ever spent. I was off of work for 2 1/2 months with physio treatments 5 days a week...While I was laid up I saw you on [TV]. You were so passionate talking about the table and what you said made so much sense to me. I knew that this was a product that would become my "Life Saver". I just wanted to say Thank You, Thank You, Thank you...I have been working full time again and have not had any sick time related to back injuries which I know is due to Inverting every day. A Loyal Canadian fan forever !!!!

- I wanted to pass along my testimony on a great product! I purchased an inversion table a few years ago, and I find it an excellent way to control migraine headaches...
- Not only is it great to use at the end of a long tiring day, but also first thing in the am. I spend the first 15 minutes after wake-up on the inversion table and I start the day much more clear headed. Thank you.

- I am employed as a Heavy Equipment Operator. I work 12 hours a day, 6 days in a row. That means I am sitting in a truck getting bumped and jostled around for 12 hours a day. As a result I often experienced lower back spasms and upper back pain and stiffness...
- I watched the information about the inversion table several times before I ordered it - as I was rather sceptical. I no longer have any doubts - IT WORKS! I use the Inversion table before and after work and no longer experience back spasms and stiffness. It's a small investment for a better back!! Thank You!

- Just want to pass on our comments to you regarding our pleasure with the Inversion Table purchased about 8 months ago. I had been experiencing pain from a crushed disc, and my wife had lower back pain on a regular basis...
- After regular use, we both are now pain free. Thankyou! We have now ordered a second Table for our son's family and anticipate similar results in solving their pain problems as well.

- My grandmother has had many problems with her spine. Specifically, her two discs in the lower spine were not aligned due to heavy lifting. She wasn't able to carry on with her day-to-day activities. Her doctor suggested expensive traction treatments which she never enjoyed...
- I always felt sorry for her and when I saw your enthusiasm on TV this summer, I decided to buy her an inversion table. Tell you what, after that, her life has changed completely. She is not only recovering but she is enjoying her life to the fullest! Best of all, it was the best investment I've ever made. She doesn't have to visit her physyotherapist and this she is able to save a lot of money. Thanks to the inversion table that changed her life and now I am so happy for her!

- I just wanted to let you know how much your inversion table helped me. I was in a car accident, had back pain, sciatic pain, headaches, neck pain, and breast surgery. I had tried everything to get rid of my tremendous pain: acupuncture, hot pads, massage therapy. Nothing helped....
- Following my breast surgery, I had scar tissue. The doctors wanted to give me cortisone shots. I refused. Then they talked about back surgery. I bought the inversion table. Believe me: it's the best purchase I ever did. It alleviated my neck pain, my back pain is gone, and I don't need the surgery. Even the scar tissue disappeared. I bought a second inversion table, so I keep 1 at home and 1 in the office. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYBODY. IT'S A LIFE SAVER. LIFE IS WORTH LIVING NOW! IT'S A MIRACLE I'M ON MY FEET. Need I say more?

- I just returned from a long walk with friends, had a hot shower and headed down to my Inversion Table to stretch out the kinks. I bought it through TV 4 maybe 5 years ago because my brother bought one and raved about it!...
- We both suffer from painful back and hips. I don't do all the turns and situps my brother does but I do stretch and relax. I always feel better when I use it daily, as does my husband. I recommend it to everyone.

- I'm a huge fan of the inversion table which I purchased several years ago. Wouldn't be without it. I suffer from a very painful bulged disc in my neck due to a car accident along with Fibromyalgia and severe migraines. The inversion table is an absolute must...
- Not only do I use it but so does everyone that comes to our home. Hard to get them back to visiting once they find the inversion table. I find the inversion table is wonderful for the lymph system, the migraines and keeps the nerves in my neck from being impacted due to the severity of the bulged disc. I spent months in physical therapy seen a gazillion specialists and took many pain killers but nothing has been as successful as the inversion table. It gives me a sense of power to help my body naturally deal with the medical concerns.

- I've had my HangUps F5000 for 2-3 years now and haven't taken the time to write and commend the company on the concept and the product. After suffering for 25 years of back pain, I had a laminectomy to repair the long term damage and continue my preferred health care of chiropractic adjustment...
- I find the inversion unit most useful to relieve 'chronic compression' as I call it, of the skeletal system and spine. As a side plus, I've been able to reduce my visits to my chiropractor by about 2/3. He ain't too happy with the decrease in visits, but I saw a wall mount unit hanging in his office when he left the door open. Hmm... He was happy my health is improved though.
I have introduced the machine to many of my friends and relatives, most of whom lead very active physical lives. Most of their introductions were when they were in pain, and most found some immediate relief. My daughter suffers from bad migraine headaches and I put her on the machine at about a 15* head down angle and use massage techniques on her neck temples & scalp and can usually have her up an running in 30 minutes with great or complete relief of pain. My drummer, who is an auto tech like myself, bruised his lower spine and was suffering an apparent pinched sciatic nerve, so we hung him up and stretched him gently and found him a great deal of relief.
I had envisioned a machine like this long ago and like most people, was too busy to act on it. I had an early pair of inversion boots, but found them next to impossible to use if I was already in major pain. Your machine absolutely rocks. Your customer service is also top notch. After having a handle break due to impact, I found the website, called customer service and they promptly shipped out a pair of handles. Thank you for a truly fine performance on all fronts.

- After my first session on the Teeter Hang Ups F5000, I realize I have forgotten how good I could feel. I have become a believer in the benefits of inversion therapy. Am I just imagining such drastic benefits from just one session? I really don't care! Most of my pain is gone! I'm KEEPING THE TABLE! I am also helping to "spread the word" by telling all my friends of the benefits of inversion therapy.

- My wife bought Teeter Hang Ups F5000 and SL Spyder Gravity Boots for me Christmas 2000. I'm very happy to say that, although I only invert for a few minutes an average of 2 or 3 times a week, I am convinced that it is the biggest factor in preventing any further debilitating experiences with my back "going out."...
- I only wish I had discovered the Teeter Hang Ups inversion table sooner; I'm quite certain I could have spared myself countless days of sheer agony, and saved myself quite a lot of money on chiropractic therapy.

- We are definitely using the inversion table, probably not as often as we should, but it's a life saving device for us...
- When we are in real trouble, we go down to the basement instead of paying a physiotherapist or chiropractor. The whole family has joined a gym (even though we have thousands of dollars in gym equipment in the rec room which is not being used at the moment) but the inversion table is still being used. We have told a number of people about it and after they came to our place to try it, some of them bought their own!

- I would like to thank you for both producing and providing such an excellent product. My daily routine is to sit in front of a computer where posture can easily be forgotten, run for an hour at lunch, and in addition lift a round of weights for half that time...
- I do not have back problems, but wanted some type of stretching exercise. After completing research on the internet, I chose your product. With quick assembly, and a review of the enclosed instructional video, I was able to use the table almost immediately. Please note, I have never even seen an inversion table before delivery. Therefore sight unseen, I found myself overwhelmingly joyed with both the quality and ease of use. My first exercise surprise was to feel my back relax and literally hear the decompression of my spine. I followed very closely the few exercise examples on the video, and the table delivered as advertised (perhaps better) than the tape proclaimed. Born in August of 51, I'm still in pretty good shape (not too old yet), and my personal opinion is the table is wonderful for all at any age.

- As a junior, I was top five in the nation and played tennis for Pepperdine University from 1983-1986. In 1999, I finished my last year of eligibility playing tennis for Auburn University at Montgomery at the age of 35 years old...
- When the season began, I hurt my back playing tennis and had an MRI with a diagnosis of a severe herniated disc at L5 and L6. I was in such severe pain, I could not get out of bed. I tried [the inversion table] with instant relief and have never had a problem since... I played the season with AUM and finished with a 15-1 record in singles and a 15-1 record in doubles. As a teaching Pro on the court between 6-12 hours a day, I highly recommend using the Teeter Hang UpsŪ products for prevention of back problems or relief and healing of a back problem. Every teaching Pro should use it.

—N. Burnham
- My husband and I both enjoy using the Inversion Table. I have chronic problems with my back consisting of pain between my shoulders and my lower back gets really stiff...
- Since I work at the computer for hours at a time each day, I enjoy being able to take a break to stretch out and relax on my Table. I've had less trouble and am comfortable more often. At first I was afraid to totally invert but now enjoy it a lot! In fact, we just adjusted it for full inversion the other day. I love it! Thanks for inventing such a great tool.

- In May, I herniated the L5-S1 disc. My doctor recommended drugs and pain management to start with but the meds made me sick and I had a several week wait to go to pain management. The pain was intolerable and I was having a hard time being pleasant at work...
- Home was a whole other story! I was telling a neighbor about it and she suggested I come to her house and try her inversion table. The first time I tried it, the pain down my leg almost completely disappeared. I borrowed her table and as long as I use it, I feel good. I have gotten better and better. I take Aleve when I do have pain, cancelled pain management and am my sweet old self at home and work. Since I can't keep my neighbor's table for ever, I have purchased my own and have a couple of friends anxious to try it. I am sooooo happy. I am 60 years old and never expected to feel this well again.

- My wife suffered from severe sciatica for four months. During that time the pain progressed from a mildly annoying feeling in her upper right thigh to a stabbing, burning pain which ran the complete length of her leg. It's important that you understand that my wife has an extremely high pain tolerance, however this pain reduced her to tears many nights...
- Sleep was impossible. Finally I purchased your inversion table. In less than one week she was sleeping again and the pain had diminished considerably. We've owned the table now for about 4 weeks. My wife uses it two to three times a day, for about 6 minutes a session. She is her old self again, sleeps fine and is pain free. The folks at the spine clinic wanted to discuss surgery with her. Purchasing your inversion table was the best thing we ever did.

- I have accepted inversion therapy as a part of my daily physical routine and feel that continued use of this product can return me to a regular way of life. In fact, it already has. I am sure that I am one of many back pain suffers that benefit from inversion therapy, but I am also sure that there are many back pain suffers who are not aware of the relief they can receive from inversion therapy. Thank you so much for providing a product that has allowed me live a full and active life.

- I am a 43 year old female who has been stricken with osteoarthritis. People look at me and see a vibrant, healthy looking person, but they have no idea what's happening on the inside of my body. I have suffered with lower back and neck pain for three year's now...
- For the past three month's I have been inverting, and cannot begin to describe the relief I have experienced. I would like to encourage anyone sitting on the fence about inversion, to jump off and try it. You have nothing to lose but sleepless nights and long hours of discomfort.

- We wanted to email and let you know that we are enjoying our Inversion Table. We purchased it with the idea that it would help relieve my husband's back pain. We're glad that it has helped in that regard...
- I started using it because it was there! Now, I find it very relaxing to tip upside down. Since many back and neck problems are a result of stress, we think we're warding off future pain! A good investment.

- Personally, I like the idea of inversion. This is quiet different from doing a yoga headstand which still causes compression of the spine. A whole new perspective is gained from this practice. One begins to have new understanding of gravity...
- In the past, I have gone to a chiropractor to correct misalignment in the hips, spine and neck. Now, I notice some of these problems are alleviated from the inversion gym. I use the inversion table about 15 minutes a day in 3 five minute sessions. I feel absolutely safe on the machine and I trust my life to it when I am on it. This machine simply adds to the quality of my life.

- I have been using my new Teeter Hang Ups now for about 3 months and I see a remarkable improvement already...
- I use it a lot just for relaxation, but the improvement I notice is that the numbness I was experiencing in my left leg has improved dramatically. I would recommend Teeter Hang Ups to anyone - young or old - big or small. The other thing I noticed is that my hair is growing like wild fire since inverting. I have to go for a haircut more often!! I love my Teeter Hang Ups.

- After using Teeter Hang Ups Inversion table (H.I.T.) once a week at my Yoga class since last spring, I finally treated myself to ownership. I am on it an average of twice a day. I particularly like the stretch I feel in my stomach and my concave belly between my hip bones reminds me of my teens and twenties - a very good feeling since I will turn 70 in March...

- The other fact I like is the ease of breathing when I am inverted. It really gives my lungs a workout. Exercising on my H.I.T. is the only exercising I have ever done that is strictly pleasure with no stress or strain. I love it!

- I have always had a lot of problems with my back over the last ten years with muscle spasms and a lot of lower back pain. I have always thought that it would feel better if I could hang upside down to relieve the pressure. Recently I had such pain and muscle spasms that I was more comfortable lying flat on the floor. It hurt so much to get up and down. I went for back therapy and got some relief...-
- I rented an Inversion table to see if it would help. I was amazed at the difference it made. The pain was relieved almost immediately. I use the table on a daily basis and feel great. A friend with sciatic problems came over and tried the Inversion Table and said she felt a lot of relief. She couldn't believe the difference it made for her. It is easy to use, I would like to thank you for making my life so much better.

- I've had minor back pain for about 20 years. I've managed to overcome it for the most part by standing and walking with a slight forward bend to my back. Well, about 2 months ago everything caught up with me to the point that I couldn't stand up at all or lay even close to flat without terrible back pain...
- I went to a local osteopath who suggested I buy one of your inversion tables to see if it might help. Well, it did. Tomorrow I start my 5th week of inversion therapy. I have not taken any Motrin or pain medication for the last three and a half weeks, have been able to lay flat in bed and stand up straight with minimal pain for the last 2 weeks, for the first time in more than 20 years! And each day my back gets a little better! I'm 60 years old and other than the back problem, in excellent health. I use the inversion table 3 times a day for about 10 minutes each time, doing light stretching and twisting to relax my back muscles. The results have been unbelievable!

- I think the STL inversion equipment is an invaluable tool in back rehabilitation. My physician recommended the use of your inversion table three times daily as part of an active course of physical therapy I noticed results almost immediately. My back injuries have almost completely healed.
