User Reviews about Teeter Hang Ups EP-550 Sport Inversion Therapy Table

I bought this as a gift for my father in law and he really likes. I did a lot of research before purchasing the Teeter Hang Up. I really like that it is medical grade as well as feels really sturdy. It was really easy to set up. I also bought the massage mat that helps relax the back and neck muscles. I have always heard about the benefits of inversion tables and after researching this was in my opinion the best inversion table. My father in law suffers from knee, shoulder, and neck pain. He said that only after two inversions that he could tell a difference. That's all I need to know that it was well worth the money. -- Bought As A Gift

The table was recieved on the on date promised and assembly was as simple as following the instructions. The unit is very sturdy with a commerical quality and feel to it. The only issue I have with the unit is with the inversion boots that came with the table. The boot clamps around the legs with two clips similar to that on a ski boot, but I find the clips on these boots much more difficult to use. One of the problems I have with my back is I cannot bend forward at the waist without discomfort and I need to do this to make sure the clips are engaging correctly. Other than that, this is a table I would highly recommend. -- very nice table.

I bought the Teeter 550 sport model and I love it. I got the sport model so I could use the gravity boots. They work great and are very comfortable if you don't strap them down too extremely tight. I have a bad back and didn't think I could bend over to lock my feet in place with the standard foot locking system.
The instructions are not very clear but I it only took me 50 minutes to assemble it using the tools they provide and convert for the gravity boots. I have been assembling things for 55 years so that experience helped.
I love the feel of the bed on my back and how easy it is to invert and right myself again. I use the adjustable inversion strap and don't invert all the way yet.
It is a very sturdy product and looks like it will last generations.
-- I love it.

I'm 42, male, 250lbs and had a L4-L5 microdisectomy February of 2009. I have a reoccurence and am having a second surgery, L4-L5 laminectomy & disectomy. All said, the Teeter EP 550 Sport is one of the best tools I have had to relieve pain and partially reverse some of my herniated disc. The product is exceptionally well made, FDA approved, our insurance paid for 80% of it with a DR. prescription and it is a phenominal tool for back pain relief, back care and over all total health care.

We feel it has not only relieved my back pain but also enabled partially herniated discs above and below to become more hydrated, supple and they are back in place. We used MRI's to identify this. Additionally, we find it very theraputic for sinus drainage, cardiovascular improvement and you can do core excersizes, while inverted, without using your back muscles.

This is a must have for anyone with back issues, scoliosis, etc..

Don't buy imposters....this one is the best, has exceptional engineering and will last the test of time. -- Previous L4-L5 surgery patient & EXCELLENT product

I do some work that is pretty hard on my back, and after a busy day I would come home and lay in bed the rest of the night to rehabilitate my back for the next days work. I have also been doing some house painting which has been killing my neck! On days that my neck and back are in rough shape, I'll come home, do a yoga routine and after that, pull out the trusty Teeter Hangups and invert for 5-10 minutes. I'm just a novice, so I dont do any crazy stretches just yet, and dont feel comfortable fully inverted (though I can go pretty darn far). After the inversion on the Hangups my neck and back pain are pretty much aleviated. Of course I just rest for the rest of the night since I usually invert in the evening closer to bed time, or when I'll be hanging around the house the rest of the night.

The apparatus is very heavy!! I disassemble mine, and store the two main parts (the A-Frame and the table itself) under my bed separately. The main reason being is that I dont have enough space under my bed to accomodate for the space the roller hinges need when attached. It's pretty simple - take out the A frame, insert the roller hinges into the side slots on the table, and attach the table to the A frame. The table with foot rest/height adjuster is the heaviest part so it takes a little muscle to lift it onto the A frame.

I highly recommend getting the 550 sport so you can use the gravity boots with it, and lessen the discomfort on the tops of the feet/ankles when inverted. -- Has helped to aleviate neck and back pain
