Exerpeutic Inversion Table Alternative Traction Table, 350 Pound Capacity

I am 5'8" 130 lbs. and due to the nature of my sport and all the jumping it requires (volleyball), the lowest disc in my spine near my tailbone has little to no "gas" which caused me immense pain just existing. The pain was exacerbated by periods, sickness, and continuing to play volleyball. With an injury like this, I was in pain ALL the time and there was nothing that seemed to help... until this table. Pros: This targets the exact disc that I needed (the lowest one). There is immediate relief as soon as I lay down on it. Personally I like to use the padding vertically on the table and sometimes I place a heating pack on it before I lay down (feels like heaven). Also, because it is not an upside down table, you don't have to deal with the blood rushing to your head and getting on it is just so easy. The biggest pro for me is that my pain has subsided. I have a pretty busy life and I've had to live with the pain for so long. Even so, the it was so bad that I always noticed it, which is worse than just "getting used to it". But sitting here writing this now, I am not in excruciating pain and that would never have been the case even two weeks ago. So just for a rough timeline, I've been using this semi consistently for about a month and have seen significant progress. There are many more factors for my situation specifically that may have made my pain get worse before it got better, but I genuinely don't think that will be the case for most people. Middle: This is a much more intense relaxation or pull than you would get from a professional decompression table you would see at physical therapy. I use one at my pt place that goes around your hips like a harness and while it is also great, it is much gentler. Since this table is more intense, when you get off you will have to do so slowly and I would compare the feeling to when you get off the table from a deep massage. I wouldn't say it is painful to get off, it's just that your body has to reacclimate after an intense relaxation period whether that be 2 min or 20min on the table. (reacclimating isn't long at all. Maybe 10 sec to feel good) So basically what I'm saying is this aspect is completely personal preference. Personally, I love that I can 100% feel this product at work every time I use it. Setup was straightforward and the manual was helpful. Cons: This table will be great for people with similar issues as me that are also a similar weight from what I can tell. It will not be good for people who are on the heavier side because they feel it pulling more at the ankles and hips rather than spine. Overall, it hasn't been a pleasant experience for people who fall into this group and I'm just speculating that it's due to it being a horizontal table and not a tilt one. If the top half of your body is too heavy, gravity will keep your back from moving at all since the mechanism relies on the legs to stretch your back.

I am 5ft 2 and 115pounds. I have a 130% reverse lumbar cube. With chiropractic help twice a week we've been Able to get the curve from 150-130. As it's shifting back I needed to receive the pressure on the nerves from the extra compression. Pros: Gives me almost immediate relief. Tip: since disc space is opening up during decompression, place a heating pad onto theumbar support to bring blood flow to that area. Will help hydrate and heal the disc. Bench is sturdy and nice. Lumbar support is gentle and good for a reverse curve Wheel is smooth to turn and gentle Best value for the price. I was having to pay $35 a visit for a 12 min. Decompression chair at the chiropractor. Yes, it was easier to get on and off, but two times a week was not enough decompression for me. I need to use this every day for 15-20min at a time. I feel almost the same decompression benefits from this as their expensive chair. Fits wide range of heights Cons: Too low to the ground. When you have back problems it's hard to get down and up from that position! 12 inches higher would be ideal. Does put a lot of pressure on the ankles and knees. I've tried to mitigate this some by putting on thick socks and folding the tops down as a double cushion. Not easy to clamp down the legs then lay backwards on your own when you have pain. That part can be a little painful and I often ask for help. If you have a wider body, this will probably be too narrow to be comfortable.

CONS: this device is heavy, cumbersome to move, difficult to use and, because of its design, doesn't provide much focused traction on the lower back. The design has two fixed points, the ankles and the armpits. The traction movement pulls on the ankles, not directly on the spine. The armpit fixed point is a problem because the user must turn a small wheel that activates a gear mechanism to stretch out the legs. Because of the angles when laying on the table, I found it almost impossible to activate the mechanism while the feet and armpits were locked in place. As a result, I got very little traction effect. In addition, on a thin carpet, body weight made it almost impossible to turn the wheel that activates the outward stretching movement. PROS: for the price it appeared to be reasonably well made. I did not find it difficult to assemble. The review title sums it up for me. Well built. Poorly designed.

Delivery was just under 1 week. Box arrived with slightly crushed corners and inside foam cracked. But no damage to parts. Approx 1/2 dozen discrete parts. Simple assembly using included hex bolts. Instructions are to also apply supplied grease. You only need a dab... no where near the amount provided. Using is a bit awkward. Provided crank wheel is positioned to close to head/shoulder to easily turn with handle. You can alternate grabbing edge of wheel to turn. Positioned another 2-3 inches farther down would make a big difference. Another change would be to increase the diameter of the wheel itself by 2-3 inches. This would require raising the height to accomodate the increased diameter. Crank the wheel to expand the table (stretch). Total of 30 turns which equates to approx 4 inches of travel. Table cushioning is minimal and some may find the surface too hard. This can be used on carpet, but a hard floor surface is probably better. Took a bit of fiddling to adjust settings right for stretch. The wheel crank design allows for control stretch and release (a big plus). Can feel the pull in knees. May need to figure out how a DIY hip harness. Construction tolerance is a bit off and some concern the setting slide bolt may slip release with repeated use. You can also feel this when operating the screw mechanism... which looks adequate, but looks to be bare minimum metal quality. Works OK enough given the price point. It only has to last 2 to 3 years to be worth it. Anything beyond that would be above expectations.

I have been an inversion table user for quite a few year now for both actual sciatica, and general back issues due to sitting in odd positions all day as a tattoo artist. A couple of years back it was brought to my attention that someone with blood pressure problems shouldn't use inversion tables due to it actually raising the blood pressure and heart rate during use. As you could imagine, that ended up being quite disappointing. I cut back its use pretty significantly, but would occasionally do it any way during a flareup. I can recall laying in bed at night, back all tight, and thinking "you know what....what if there were something like the old school torture racks from the middle ages that could be a milder version that would still pull at the joints and spaces between disks"? Floating around on line, and looking at other ways to try to stretch out my back, I stumbled across THIS. Oh my. This does do the trick. In fact, I like it better than inversion because it feels more stable and continuous on the stretch to me. I also don't get that feeling of all the blood rushing to my head and it seems to be friendlier to my ankles while using it. All in all, I am quite satisfied with this contraption. The only negative I have found is that it is so low to the ground that after an extended stretch, I need to wait a few minutes for my back to settle back in to try to get up. But other than that, all is good.

Poorly made: the swivel arms are held together by bolts with a flimsy snap ring. After a few weeks of normal use, 2 snap rings snapped. I had to purchase replacements; however one of them is under the welded metal making it impossible to get to without taking the entire table apart. It does provide traction by pulling your ankles and arms in opposite directions. However, that also results in severe pressure on your extremities. Despite foam cushioning, ankles start hurting and arms lose some circulation. I cannot hold the position for more then 30 seconds as it is too discomforting. Otherwise, the table is OK to lie on with mild traction and works somewhat.

We started with missing parts that were immediately remedied with fast, same day response from the seller to my message and quick mailing of those parts, all completed with parts in hand within 1 week. My husband is 6'5", 215 lbs. and uses this machine to stretch his back due to spinal stenosis. At first, he started with the traction table on the ground without the legs as he was unsure of its stability with his height and weight. He feels comfortable with it now and has added the legs. He uses this machine several times a day and says it gives better relief then the inversion table. He is very happy with this traction table and so am I knowing he has found something that helps him better manage his pain.

Schnell geliefert und gute Qualität . Dankeschön!

L ho comprato per problemi alla schiena, l unica cosa che sento tirare un pochino sono le gambe. Oltretutto resto con la parte lombare inarcata. Sono alta 1,67. Mio figlio che è alto 1,40 dice che sente tirare anche un po la schiena. Quindi per chi è più alto secondo me nn va bene.

Me ha gustado su robustez.Es entretenido de montar.El manual sitúa algunos tornillos ( todos vienen colocados ) en piezas diferentes a las que los llevan,pero enseguida me dí cuenta. Hay que tener cuidado con los tornillos pequeños.Son de latón y se rompen si se aprietan más de lo imprescindible. Sugerencia : enroscar los tornillos.NO apretarlos. Me hubiera gustado que llevara ruedas,porque no es plegable.Y no sé cuál es la forma correcta de almacenarlo sin vonverlo a desmontar. Sugerencia : mecanizar las piezas :17 ( manivela ) y 9 ( eje de manivela ) para substituir el tornillo ( 37 ) por un pasador.

'k Dacht dat het m'n rug ten goede zou komen. Maar 'k denk dat het niet zo gezond is. Al pijn gehad na gebruik.

Does the job of the $150/visit chiropractor session. Paid for itself in 2 sessions. Feeling better AND taller every day. Only issue is slight discomfort on tops of feet if stretching too far.
