| Inversion Therapy and Table Testimonials* |

Getting inverted relieves and relaxes not only my joints and vertebrae but lets my organs and blood flow more naturally. Being inverted at least 30 minutes a day improves my performance capability by stimulating my vestibular system and allows decompression of my spine to occur. 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! 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 (Inversion Therapy) for prevention of back problems or relief and healing of a back problem. Every teaching Pro should use it. 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! 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 (a pain killer) 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 (an) 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 (the) inversion table was the best thing we ever did. I recently purchased an inversion table...and I am writing this letter to express my complete satisfaction with the product and gratitude to you for providing an instrument that has changed my life. 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 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. We purchased an Inversion Table and Inversion Boots over two months ago. My husband and I use the inversion table on a regular basis, usually once a day. We also encourage our teenagers to use it. I am pleased to have the opportunity to tell prospective buyers that we feel the inversion table is one of our best investments! We are avid golfers and I am a fitness/yoga instructor. We use the inversion table to lengthen our spine, which helps to prevent back pain and thus maintain overall health. 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 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! "Hanging a few minutes everyday made my back stronger and eventually all the pain disappeared! My back became stronger than it had ever been. I began exercising, including walking and jogging, with no back strains resulting. Today I am 55 years old, my posture is good, and I am healed. The daily inversion stimulated postural and circulatory changes in my body. Better posture was practiced, (standing straighter with thighs tightened and shoulders back). This caused my abdomen to flatten out- no sit-ups or crunches. Other physical changes occurred: My complexion improved and wrinkles and fleshy parts of my face and neck diminished!" We have found significant improvement using various inversion techniques which needs further exploration. However, we are very excited about the results thus far. After two weeks on the inversion table on a daily basis urinary incontinence disappeared in two female patients. We have used the inversion table on chronic bronchitis as well as asthmatics." I have been using your inversion products in my chiropractic office for the past 14 years...and my patients have benefited greatly from their inversion therapy." Inverting daily keeps my body stretched, relaxed, symmetrical. The adult acne that I’ve had since the age of 29 has nearly disappeared. The cold hands and feet that I have experienced for years has disappeared. In 1982 I started inverting. I was 52 years old then, and over the years I managed to change just about everything; everything from a badly misaligned hip and feet with corns. Yes, it changed that too! Professional football places a great deal of stress to the lumbar sacral area of the spine. Inversion assisted stretching is quite beneficial. *Testimonials courtesy of Teeter Hang Ups |
