Teeter FitSpine X1 Inversion Table

Excellent...been using a week, and already feeling the effect. Sleeping better too!

Purchased this Inversion Table for my wife and I recently. She has scoliosis and I have lower back issues and sciatica nerve pain occasionally. I was hesitant about purchasing an inversion table since we had never used one, but we haven't gone to the chiropractor in quite some time and needed something to help with pain relief and stretches. I knew that I wanted a brand name table and didn't want the cheapest ones due to safety concerns and the fact that we're talking about equipment that deals with our backs so I wanted to get something with a well established name and history. The fact that Teeter has medically certified and qualified equipment is what helped sell me. Needless to say, my wife and I use the inversion table daily, and sometimes multiple times a day. I am 6'1" at 240 lbs, and she is 5'3" and lightweight, so we needed a table that easily adjusted between heights and weights and this table does that easily and quickly with little to no effort. The table also has an adjustable or removable lumbar and acu-point knobs which can be regularly adjusted and moved around to specifically target needed areas of the neck and back for pressure and relief. The table assembles easily and instructions are very clear and precise. We began using the table immediately and with its quick and adjustable settings you quickly learn how to adapt it to yourself and others to the point where balance can be attained simply by breathing in or out, or by moving your arms and hands with just a stretch or slight movement. Until purchasing this equipment, I was unaware that inversion tables could be properly setup to balance based on something as simple as breathing or stretching your arms slightly, and always had a preconception that you had to pull yourself up out of inversion or that someone had to assist you. I'm unsure of other brands or their models, but Teeter is perfectly designed and its use does not require others to be present or any efforts to easily reinvert yourself with anything other than simple body movements of the arms or knees. I like that this equipment has shown me that something as simple as breathing affects your balance and also helps manage your pain. This table definitely has made noticeable improvements in my sciatica pain relief and it utilizes my weight as a benefit to stretching out my back instead of compressing it. I forsee much larger benefits to utilizing this table while additionally losing weight thru dieting and exercise. I strongly recommend Teeter to anyone on the fence about purchasing an inversion table, and am glad that I chose this particular item. For future purchases I will likely look at their higher end tables with more features as the money used on this purchase was well spent!

good quality for a good price, helped in reducing back pain

Best thing for my back! I had a bulging disc that was causing so much pain I could not even bend down to pickup a dime. I love this thing. So easy to use that I do it every day to keep my back healthy now that it fixed the initial problem. Take it slow at first with only a slight decline and add more each day. I am now fully inverting and it feels great. Oh and be sure to wear thick socks, it provides extra comfort on the ankle. The quality is clear to see and makes me feel safe using it. I would be afraid of the cheap Chinese made ones. Also I do not mind the little latch handle for locking the feet. No need to pay extra for the high reach version. If you are using this table, your back will be improving every day and getting you back to normal and the small reach down should not be a problem.

A little tricky to assemble as the directions aren't percent clear, and the parts not labeled left or right TIPS: Assembly is easier as a two person job Contrary to the illustration, install the adjustable leg bar BEFORE hanging the table on the frame. The "Back-Bridge" should be removed when not in use. Otherwise, being made of heavy plastic, it will take on a permanent bend. I suggest getting either some double sided carpet tape, or some Velcro straps to fasten the head support pad, as the built in "stretch and lock" type tabs are difficult to use / adjust

This inversion table is a life saver and doctors don’t want you to know about it because of how effective it is. I have a degenerative disc in my thoracic area and only options I was given was stem cell therapy or spinal fusion surgery. Seeing as how I was in my 20’s I knew there had to be something out there that could help me. My doctor/orthopedic surgeon did not once mention any sort of decompression therapy or an inversion table. I understand NOW why these surgeons and back specialists never mention an inversion table. It would put them out of business. Since purchasing this teeter inversion table, it has saved both me and my dad from disc surgery. It has relieved close to all of our pain just from using it couple times a week. I have recommended this table to serval others at my job and they have had the same great experience. Just goes to show how even doctors are just in the money making business, I EVEN ASKED MY SURGEON IF AN INVERSION TABLE WOULD HELP AND HE SAID IT WOULD NOT HAVE ANY AFFECT AND IS A WASTE OF MONEY. Nothing but lies, this inversion table is a life saver.
