1) Too much too soon may give you a headache .. 2) don't twist or rotate your spine while inverted .. 3) Don't attempt to do crunches or ab work out because it'll but too kuch strain on your lower back. That's the 3 things
Whats the point of the DEX2 from teeter? Its a workout low back machine that you can rotate. I had a subluxation that popped back into place and I felt it because when I rotated it popped. Same shit the chiropractor is doing when he puts your legs to the side to pop your low back.
Im not sure of the physiology of it, but light thumb pressure in the upper, inner corners of your eye sockets completely and instantly removes eye pressure during inversion. Truly amazing.
Was “thisclose” to back surgery, my last option ... or so I thought. Got my Teeter Flexspine x3 back in June. Use two-three times per day. 10-20 minutes per session. It’s not a cure all but I’ll tell you this...my sciatica was so bad I wld lowkey cry in the bathroom at work😏; I had medical clearance to wear my Nike "slides" at work -- that's how bad it was. This machine changed my life. 80-85% sciatica gone. I have some bad days yes, but my quality of life before and after Teeter purchase.... night and day. If you can afford one...well worth the investment. Hope my story helps someone. /Bklyn👑
MAN you sound genuine...so I hope you are, lol. Same level of pain myself. Pricing one now. Crazy part?? My MOM had one, in Ga, but had to sell it. She had a stroke and was no longer able to be inverted. That was a year ago...and now I need one here in Cali. Take care and I wish you continued/full recovery.
Just posting my experience as I had got sciatica, did a ton of research of what to do and what not to do as well as asked my nerve doctor if a table was good, I was informed they are great and I should get one so I did. I did once a day for about 3-5minutes, only did about a 180, not full, stretched my arms only, no twists or turns, my sciatica is completely gone. This is not for everyone but I feel in my case, this is the reason I got better. It was due to this video of what i knew not to do like full inversion, thank you Bob & Brad, your the best
My advice is when coming out of inversion, pause at horizontal for 20 to 30 seconds before going full upright and dismounting. That minimizes the head pressure, blood pressure, wooziness, and equilibration issues, as in your volunteer who went from full inverted to full upright in 2 seconds, and went pale.
@@darius3550 It's easy. Adjust the sliding portion to match your height, secure your feet/ankles, and raise your arms overhead to control inversion. In full inversion your arms are down to the floor and if the limiting strap is not connected you can go full vertical. To get out of full vertical inversion, grab one of the two diagonal support beams in front of you and pull towards you then bring one arm then the other to your sides to use balance to get you out of inversion. I recommend pausing at horizontal for 20 seconds or so to help re-equilibrate. You don't need a second person to assist you after you've done it once.
Do you pass out? Because you could have POTS(Postural orthostatic tachycardia hypotension) or orthostatic hypotension.. both of these cause dizziness, blood pressure issues and pressure in the head. Pots will also cause you to pass out and have a really high heart rate when standing, along with the other symptoms I mentioned.
@@darius3550 I know it sounds dangerous especially for someone who has so many symptoms using it. One of these times he's going to pass out and not be able to bring himself back up and I don't know what happens when somebody doesn't find you right away
I have a Teeter inversion table I hadn't used in several years. A bit earlier, I wiped off the dust and inverted for a little less than ten minutes. I didn't invert all the way but just enough to get a gentle stretch. I turned my head a little bit in both directions and just relaxed. When finished, my WHOLE spine felt way better than it had in several days.
@@alfabiro7226 I'm 59. I think it would be okay. Take it slow and easy. Be sure you have it adjusted properly for your height. That will enable inverting and can help with you being able to get back to an upright position. Proper height setting will cause you to balance in a somewhat neutral position when your arms are at your sides. From this point, you can slowly bring your arms up (hands on hips, pause, hands on stomach, pause, hands on chest, etc.) This will help you invert in increments to help your body get used to it. I wear a shirt when I'm doing this because it lets the skin on my back side against the plastic surface rather than stick to it. Be sure to have the safety belt attached so it doesn't invert too far. Let your body relax and you'll feel a gentle stretch. For me, ten to fifteen minutes is enough. You may need to start with a shorter time then work up to longer. Probably a good idea to have a helper close by when first trying this in case you need assistance.
I just got one the other day because I've been suffering with back pain and sciatica for years. The doctors recommended surgery over a decade go. However, the first time I used the Teeter inversion machine- ahh; that wonderful pop of relief in my lower spine . . . heavenly! For the first time in a long time, I finally awoke the next morning without pain!
I just put a comment up you might want to read and glad you are getting pain relief . Also , read about the founder of MedX strength machines for the spine . Inversion and these machines helped me conquer 6 degenerative discs, sciatica, and stenosis ! ! Just worked out at my MedX clinic on my 75th birthday in Madison Wis. and have been pain free for10 years and NO back surgeries ! ! Andrew Jones is the founder of MedX machines, same man who developed the Nautilus strength machines . Hopefully there is a clinic where you live with at least the Lumbar and Cervical Extension machines .
Had sciatica bought an inversion table had no clue what I was doing made it worse but found bob & brad on you tube n thru several vids I have not had pain since 2018 took merely 2months to find the right vid!
A friend gave me his inversion table after he had a bad experience with full inversion. I don't go lower than 45 degrees. I've used it in the past when back pain was interfering with my sleep. I'd use this for 5 min before bed and then get right into bed. No waking up with back pain during the night. Keep in mind that once you get off the table, the compressive forces start to return to the spine due to gravity. I think the reason I had good results is that I was supine afterward. Not sure if the effects would last if you remain upright.
Yep. Read the instructions, folks. Teeter recommends to return to horizontal and stay there for awhile after inversion. I like to do inversion, then oscillation, then horizontal. Going straight from inversion to standing or sitting is uncomfortable for me.
Baby steps everyone..Listen to me baby steps and this thang is a life saver..No need for full inversion..I stay around 50 degrees..Took me 4 months to get to that..
I recently got my inversion table and I agree with these assessments. It has made an amazing difference for me thus far. Pain I’ve had for almost a decade have gotten more relief than anything else I’ve tried.
I've come across several of your videos now and thoroughly enjoy them and learn something new every time. I'm an amazon delivery worker and my father's teeter hang up has become a life saver. I usually use it several times throughout the day when I'm home and always after a shift at night before bed. I literally can't help but smile as I roll back and feel the stresses of a heavy day leave my body. As someone else stated straight to bed after. You'll sleep amazing and wake up feeling amazing. I wouldn't even be in the parcel delivery industry if I didn't have my inversion table. 45° is the best angle, and ease into it as to not tense the muscles around the decompressing bone structure
Been a big Teeter/inversion fan for years and it’s helped me soooo much. Just yesterday I had a bad sciatica flare up and went on my Teeter and it gave me almost instant relief for the rest of the day. Anyone with lower back pain or sciatica should research and at least try inversion. Good luck!
I had a spinal injury years ago from a sling accident and bought an inversion table and it healed my injury, I've.been using it for 40 years and successfully have a great spine from inversion.
I bought a used table for $100. Best money I’ve spent ever, it’s been instrumental in getting me back to normal after a herniated disc pressing on my sciatic.
Thank you both! You two are life savers IMHO! I just developed what has been diagnosed as sciatica last year at 66 y.o.. I've been watching and following your videos ever since. My doctor suggested PT for my lower back which X-rays revealed that I have moderate arthritis of the lower spine, degenerative disc disease which I guess for my age is not uncommon. Obviously starting to compress on the sciatic nerve. Funny thing was during one of my PT sessions, I mentioned Bob and Brad on RU-vid.and she responded that she also watches your videos. Thanks again for all that you both do for many individuals like myself. P.S. One of my UPS driver co-workers suggested inversion therapy as he said it does wonders for his lower back. He is 65 y.o.. He also warned against going full inversion and said it was not necessary. He said it is one of the biggest mistakes people make when using an inversion table. Nice to see this information confirmed with this video and below by an MD.
My inversion table has been a life saver. Decreased my high blood pressure and helped my back feel so much better. I find it to be very relaxing to go full inversion for about ten to twelve minutes. I also have a heated massage on my inversion table
Hey I have buldging discs in my back and spinal stenosis and I just ordered one a inversion table I'm excited to try it how long did it take for you to have pain relief? Can you walk and work out comfortably now? I ask because I can't do either right now and also are you 100% pain free? Thank you!!
@@country928 I already got mine and have been using it no luck yet but I heard takes time.. Why do you say that? Not to buy and bet I won't like it?? Haha
I am 62 and I have been doing situps on an inversion table for over 10 years without any issues. Strengthening the abdominals is one of the best things you can do for your spine, and doing situps on the table sure does that for me. I do 45 every other day along with my workout. Before I started doing this routine I had bouts of sciatica that left me completely helpless in pain. I have not had one since. I do however feel you guys provide a great service to the public, thanks.
How long do you invert ? I got one the other day and was going to do something like you (twice a week or so). More so to be proactive. I'm a younger guy (39), but bad backs run in my family and I've had a couple 1-2 day stretches (no pun intended) where I'm on the floor. Plus I play competitive golf and if your back is shot, forget it. Thanks for your post.
@@jimeagle5509 When I first got the table maybe a couple of minutes. I really don't need to hang all that long anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes tops plus the situps. You do need to go easy at first to get use to it.
I was thinking of getting something like this for my dad, but he has high blood pressure and is a bit overweight. I think diet and exercise would be best for him, thank you for this video.
I have a teeter, and the most important thing is avoiding the headrush from the blood, you can't go full tilt upside down immediately, you gotta ease into entering and exiting the table... otherwise the headrush will last for hours
Yeah, and the breaking of blood vessels you get isn't fun either. Best to do less angle and duration at first along with your recommendation of entering and exiting.
I fully I vert and I do sit ups on it. 1p mibs, twice a day. I also twist and hold weights in each of my hands at my side to pull my back apart more. I had an l5 prolapsed disc with sciatica nerve down my right side. It took about a month but the nerve pain starting to go. I noticed the difference in my back straight away. It's good to stretch out your back regularly as gravity and the weight of your body is constantly putting pressure on your discs. Best tool I've ever bought.
@@jennifero3975 I stopped moving on it and using weights. Now I just hang upside down and stay still. I use it twice per day for 10 minutes each time. My siactica is more or less gone. I train kickboxing twice a week and should not be doing it anymore but I can cause of this table. It really helps.
I have the teeter table too and it’s been great BUT had my back surgery a year ago where I had the worst sciatica pain, 2 weeks ago I started using the table again and at 80% plus for 10 min. I did the twist and pull myself up shown on this video and I have had my leg pain rerun!!! I am not sure if it table or something else so I would 100% tell people PLEASE take it easy and just use gently at less of an angle
Im my opinion the inversion table works wonders for me. It help with my bulging disk and fixed my posture! I even hold weights to put more pressure on my spine as well and have had no problems at all. Full version is the best for me I mean it might not work for others but I give this 💯 because it doesn’t have no cons in my eyes
Its very important when coming back to standing to use knees to pull body back to gravity stabilization slowly, so as to not have a recoil of the spine causing more pain by and tension in low back
Great video! Yep, 60 degrees inversion has been more than enough to fix my issues. I rarely go to a complete inversion. I think it is not suitable for the blood pressure in my head. Also, it is not easy to get out from full inversion as it requires some technique that may create unnecessary tension again in your back.
I use this for back pain. I do 60 degrees for 10 minutes at a time three times a day and it has completely removed my back pain. I haven't had any problems at all, but I've known other people who get headaches. I think individual's mileage may vary but for me it has been a godsend.
@@monkeybitemusic1827 Sorry to hear it. Not sure how much inversion would help with that. Honestly the increased pressure might cause issues due to the narrowing of the spaces within the spine. I would definitely double check with a doctor to make sure it doesn't exacerbate the condition. Sorry.
I sure like this video and the 3 warnings. These two guys are very good ! The comments below are very helpful, since I am considering to purchase a table at the age of 74. It would help if they would comment on some of the comments left by the viewers.
I used to have mild to moderate lower back pain and couldn't afford therapy. I decided to get into self chiropractic and I'm glad I did because my back just keeps getting worse and worse so it really comes in handy. I can't wait to get an inversion table after watching this. All (hopefully obvious) kidding aside, I have been using a recliner to apply very mild traction to my lower back and I feel 20 years younger.
BTW...... thank you for the referral to the Teeter FitSpine LX9 inversion table! Just did some quick research and definitely a quality product that is safe for a person of my size (6'4" 250 lb.) This inversion table adjusts to 6'6" and is rated up to 300 lb. Even an Amazon Choice product. I did click your Teeter link first as a start to my research. Almost made the mistake of purchasing one with foam cushioning on the back which would have prevented the slide you need for decompression. Little things like this make a big difference. Again, you guys are awesome! Thank you. Will definitely be purchasing the LX9 today thanks to your video.
I'm getting an inversion chair versus the table (doesn't flip you completely upside down), and it has heat/massage as well. I can't wait. I don't have sciatica, but I have very debilitating lower back pain (one spot right over a disc). It's horrible.
Your comments make sense I an starting 5 -10 minutes . It has been a desperate choice and I was really afraid of it for months before I started to use it , gently .
I had Sciatica in May of 1982. Went from running 50 miles a week to 0. Could hardly walk and thought I would have to quit work. By accident I went to a new type of Chiropractor called Nucca. After three adjustment I set a new pr for the marathon in Eugene Oregon 3 months later. 3:05.55 Take a look at a NUCCA Chiropractor!
I have an inversion table. I twisted once while fully inverted and tweaked my back, it hurt for days. I never twist while inverted. I also don't notice any benefit when going past about 80% inversion.
lol was kinda laughing when they used him for the example too, however he probably has a healthy back to start with. People with bad back problems probably shouldn't attempt even one of those upright crunches but for somebody with a healthy back like I am assuming Mike has, one crunch is probably not gonna hurt him.
Been using one on/off for a year and no difference in my on gong sciatica pain but my bald head now has hair growing back so the table worked for something at least.
Thank you Bob & Brad for sharing your experience, it helps a lot. I just bought my table two days ago and I feel like it is helps reducing my sciatic pain. I tried all angles and they all felt good. But full inversion is not for everyone.
I had a bulging disk, and my inversion table, kept me from getting surgery. Plus my circulation improved as well. My head felt heavy for about 6 uses but went away.
Hey I have buldging discs in my back and spinal stenosis and I just ordered one a inversion table I'm excited to try it how long did it take for you to have pain relief? Can you walk and work out comfortably now? I ask because I can't do either right now and also are you 100% pain free? Thank you!!
@@Brad21493 I wonder how many people have my problems with soft beds. I am now sleeping on my hard wood surface floor, untill I can try a purple bed or just keep using the floor and maybe a sleeping bag for a tiny bit of cushioning. And recently had to get rid of my bed because of this problem I did not realize was from the soft cushoning and pressure into my circulation and something to do with my not having as much lower lateral spine support becuse of birth defect of missing a pair and a half later bone supprot from my lower spine bone. I could barley move and allways getting one or more pinched nerves and fealt and heard bone on bone crunching.. but I started taking slowy hoter and hoter shower on my back and then finnaly stretching in the shower with a safty no slip mat.. doing much better now, but still thinking of getting a inversion table also, if I qualify for the payment plan.
@@Ant-jh3tn Hey sorry for late reply mine actually never helped me out.. I gave it some months and not to mention I get too dizzy so I ended up selling mine to my barber
I use an inversion table AND I'M THIRTY YEARS OLD. I ALREADY KNOW THAT BACK PAIN IS A NONSTARTER. I'M AVOIDING THAT WHOLE SHIT ENTIRELY FROM THE GET GO! :D
Here are a few more...Stop jogging on concrete (take long walks instead). Buy the expensive insoles for all your shoes. Buy a sterns and foster mattress. Get work shoes with vibram soles. Drive the vehicle you want. Don't get married.
That's funny. I had my Teeter Hang Ups, inversion for 10, years now. I'v been fully inverting, doing the cruches and twist movements and I don't have a problem.
@@leelunk8235 it's been ten years since I had and used my on version table. You could rupture a disc or pull a muscle just by having g a bowel movement. No pun intended.
Best 25 bucks I've ever spent on Craigslist! I do it every morning. I'm never going full vertical tho. That thing was made in china It might snap and drop me on my head!
IF you have Sciatic pain, get this machine. In most cases they are cheaper than a trip to the chiropractor and way way easier than going to a useless drug pusher. (I mean doctor) I was 56. A carpenter of 30 years when I was diagnosed with sciatic nerve injury . The doctors tried to give me drugs, the chiropractor's said it was going to be a minimum of two visits a week at $195:00 a visit. BOTH told me I was done for and would have to give up my trade. I was whining about it to a friend and he told me the same story . He was told to grab one of these devices from another friend and it worked. He suggested I come over and try his. So I talked to the chiropractor about it and all he did was bash and bash and horror story after horror story about them . In the end I was tired of being a useless cripple and said screw it and tried my buddies. The first time on it at about 50-60 degrees it hurt so bad . I just wanted up and out I went to grab the handles to pull myself up and I heard 4 large pops. I froze and laid back. I stayed in that position for quite a bit before I realized I didn't hurt . I stretched out my arms, no pain. I pulled myself up and hoped off the machine and walked straight for the first time in months. I could feel the top of my leg again, bend over squats everything like normal. I now own one and use it regularly. I can now do three sets of 50 sit up/crunches and have my 8 pack back I am 60. now. . your choice . Live free and healthy or live like a cripple and drugged feeding useless subtrades your money for NOTHING
I totally did all three of those.. probably caused my sciatica and disk problems. I sold the thing. Maybe when I get room I'll buy another one and just approach it way more conservatively.
Been using my table for two years…. Fully inverted because the table prevents decompression through body friction at lower angles. I can’t live without it. L4, L5, S1 rupture. I get immediate relief. The only trouble I’ve ever had is my vertigo, which I’ve had all my life. I invert for 3 to 5 minutes and I’m good for a few hours. I actually go past 90 so my body is hanging completely free without touching the table. I don’t twist, I’m too busy concentrating on relaxing my body because it’s natural to tense up. They repeatedly say…. “Our opinion”
Hey buddy ,i have L5-S1 rupture disc and have sciatica pain down the leg. Did the inversion table help u get rid of pain, how long have u been using it and how are u know? Also i cant afford an inversion table ,can i use gravity boots instead!?
I avoid chiropractors by going to 45-60 degrees and twisting (the same thing that a chiropractor would do). I find that applied heat before this helps to relax the muscles and improve the results. I rarely go to full inversion.
I don’t have a full table like yours, instead it locks your knees in place as you wrap them around the padded bar. Anyway I took a very cautious approach to this. I was reading of these people spending lots of time inverted and that didn’t sound right to me. All you need is enough time to stretch things out. Anyway what I found works really good for me ( at 71) is to invert for only a few minutes and then rather than stand up right away I roll onto a mattress with my knees up and lay there for several minutes. You can do more stretching or twisting (with no stress on the joints) and after 10 or 15 minutes stand up. This seams to reduce the dangerous time when your inverted and extends the time there is less pressure on the vertebra. It works really good for me, kind of a low impact inversion. Your older patients should give it a try.
I do 2 minutes @ 60 degrees and there is a lot of stress on the top portion of your feet. I recommend 2 minutes on 5 minutes of another 2 minutes on on . Three times each time, 3 to four times a day . It will do you a lot of good. I have 4 bad disc’s all from a fall from a ladder at work. It will never be the same . This will help momentarily. The pain goes away immediately for those 2 minutes and it gets a little better over time, but I will never be the same.
I’ve had an inversion table for 20 years and used it fairly regularly. I have learned the hard way that if my back is “out” (whatever that means other than extreme pain) full inversion is not a good idea. It is too much strain on an injury. Stay at 45 degrees or less for gentle traction. If everything is feeling good regular full inversion helps me stay feeling good, but it has never helped me deal with an acute problem. I have also found it doesn’t help with some underlying problems like muscle imbalances. Great channel and content. I feel like my medical insurance should send you a thank you card.
Hi I'm a new subscriber I hurt my back several months ago and I'm currently doing physical therapy. I really want to look into buying an inversion but I'm currently on disability I can't afford a high model. Can you recommend a website that sells used equipment?
As I was scrolling, I saw the title,, which I thought read: "Satanic Plan Revealed with inversion table" - warning... and 3 tips... I had to check it out! You guys are great! I enjoy using the table occasionally, but it hasn't improved my claravoyance or my eyesight at all.
This is not a game of competition. Just use the angle and the duration that you feel good. Your body will tell you. Just listen to your body. I brought mine yesterday. I just use 15 to 45 degrees. When I use 45 degrees, I feel stomach upset. I just stay on 30 degrees now the max. I do like 20 second to a minutes. I do many times in a day. Like 5 to 20 times. I feel stretching on my neck which I need the most. I will try and keep experiment on this and try to get the optimal result for me. My machine is innova. This machine could set the angle easily. 15, 30 45, 60, 75 and 85. When choosing a machine, just make sure that the machine is sturdy. Also, adjust the angle is a must feature. Any brand would do.
Your milage may vary, mine does. Everyone is different. I find sit ups with full inversion the best situps I have ever done! Start slow and build up. While standing I can tense my stomach for the most satisfying tension feeling I have ever had! Back in the day I did 500 situps but did not feel the satisfaction inversion situps give me. I am almost 67 now.
Thanks Docs.... My teeter has sat collecting air for the last 2 years while my sciatic pain has tremendously increased. The constant throbbing on my right lower back & butt & numbness in my both legs & feet are too much to withstand. I’m starting my inversion therapy regimen & STAYING ON IT.
@Frank Reyna Frank, please excuse the error... I typed “inversion regimen” but I guess the autocorrect on my dumb as hell Smart-device incorrectly corrected it. Sorry for the confusion.🙏🏾
@@castmembersuck Yes, the Teeter DOES work, however, if you’re having severe pain/Sciatica & symptoms you really have to work at it meaning you have to do at least 3-8 sessions 5-10 min each EVERYDAY being very consistent. I hope this info helps you.🙏🏾
I purchased an inversion Teeter table.. funny but they never mentioned if you have bad knees.. all of your weight is supported by your ankles which puts stress on the ligaments and tendons supporting the knee, after about six months I could barely walk because of this inversion Teeter table.. I finally had surgery on my knee, went through rehab and my knee feels great once again.. after about a year I took the Teeter table out of the shed dusted It Off and tried it a couple times, and the knees started hurting again.. I gave the Teeter Table Away to whoever would take it and explain to them be very careful and talk to your doctor first, this can do a lot more harm than good..
Thanks for this comment, I was looking at picking one of these up tomorrow for sciatica and lower back pain, but I also have a weakened Achilles tendon in my left foot, and my knees are pretty shot from years of football and skateboarding
@@slakk5093 yes if you have ankle, knee or hip problems, This product is going to stretch the ligaments and tendons in those areas and could cause a lot of problems. In my case it did more harm than good. I contacted the Teeter company and they're fully aware of the problems their product could cause.
Guys I've been watching you for a bit now 👍. I have 3 prolapsed discs that also causes great pain and sciatica down both leg. Do you recommend this inversion table will help me
I tried a teeter due to some chronic lumbar pain. I felt almost immediate pain in my S1 after inverting for about 3 minutes. The next day I had major sciatica pain for the first time and it has lasted 6 weeks now. Not sure what I did but can say I did it too quickly. I did not even fully invert.
Hello Bob and Brad, receive many greetings from Mexico! Please help me with the following question: My 74-year-old wife has sciatica but she cannot use the inverter because she has a knee replacement. Is there any workaround to get the inverter effects featured in your video? Thank you and many greetings! Jorge
I totally agree. I am sharing you my experience with this. I got this table and watched how to use it on RU-vid. One guy said this one changed his life after an car accident . I do not exercise. Being a hairdresser have no energy to stretch. So I thought this table would do it for me. Went perpendicular to the floor and did sit ups . For about 3 months . One day I did more sit ups and my neck got stiff and all my back got so tight and under the pain for more than 2 years . Went to some physical trainers, massage therapist , chiropractors . No luck. Changed my diet . Nothing again . After not making me feel better, they all were telling me I have fibromalayga. Went to the last chiropractor who put some muscle stimulator and some heating pads and then adjusted my back and neck. I am telling you guys, within 3 times going to him my neck and back got relieved. I am afraid to use the inversion table any more. Thank you for your great videos .
So do you still use your table? Do you mind sending it to me? I am in the Caribbean and my sciatica is so bad I can barely walk. I have been doing massage therapy but no relief. If you’d chose to please send me an email or reply to this.
Hi Bob and Brad, Thanks for the video and advice. I've started using an inversion table daily, and it's reducing the tension in my body that stretching wasn't. However, it's pulling my lower back out of alignment and bothering it, so I'm looking into inversion belts to support me from the waist. Isn't inversion an issue for everyone on the lower back when supported by the ankles? LOL... your intro. Have a great day, and thanks again.
very good video; I do not like the Teeter HangUp, personally. I have it folded and up against the wall. I've gone back to the Dr. Perry InvertaBod, which I had 25-years ago. Thank you.
I just got an inversion table and have used it maybe six times at 60 degrees for one minute. I feel a little woozy when I get off it. I think maybe pausing part way back will help.
Hey Bob and Brad, I’m 74 years old in relatively good health. I’ve been on antihypertensives for 20 years and ever since then I have had normal blood pressure. I also had a TIA two months ago (full recovery in less than 24 hours), and was placed on Eliquis. I have very severe pain from lower back, especially on the right hip. I did check with my cardiologist and he gave me the OK to go ahead with the teeter inversion table. Good suggestions from you to do that. my question is as I am just starting out with this, what is the maximum amount of time I should focus on doing this per session initially, and how often should I do it?
When I first saw a commercial for Teeter Hangups, I was intrigued. I had stenosis of L1-L5, and had a laminectomy to correct it. For me, the problem is that I get nauseated when the blood rushes to my head, even doing inclined sit-ups. So, I’d probably steer clear of an inversion table.
