It enables the body to stretch, reduces muscle pain and provides balance and orientation training. Inversion therapy releases shoulder tension, eases tension headaches, stimulates mental alertness, increases skin and hair health and reduces the effects of again caused by gravity and poor circulation.

Amazon.com Product Description:
If you're plagued by back pain, stiff joints, or suffer from stress overload, consider the Teeter Hang Ups F5000 inversion table, which helps to counter the effects of too much time spent sitting, standing, or moving repetitively. It's also a great way to add extra crunch to exercises like sit-ups. The F5000 is specially engineered to provide a comfortable and secure inversion experience. The equipment features heat-treated, high quality carbon steel and triple-plated chrome.

The Teeter Hang Ups F5000 rotates on a pivot system. With simple arm movements (rotation is accomplished by shifting the weight of the arms), the table easily rotates to any comfortable angle. The smooth rotation allows for oscillation and intermittent traction. Adjustable roller hinges allow you to pre-select three levels to control the aggressiveness of rotation, and the tether strap allows you to pre-select the maximum angle of inversion. Comfortable ankle clamps hold you securely while inverting. Additional support can be gained by use of the optional Teeter Hang Ups Gravity Boots.

It's able to lock at full 90 degrees inversion (this is only possible when using the more aggressive roller hinge setting). While at 90 degrees, you can perform inverted sit-ups and squats. The table is self-controlled and can be unlocked with simple arm movements.

Feature Detail:

The F5000 Inversion Table folds compactly for storage in a closet or in a corner. The nylon mat can be removed for washing. Every table comes with an instructional DVD and laminated owner's manual.

About Teeter Hang Ups
Roger and Jennifer Teeter founded Hang Ups Inversion Products in 1981 and have been dedicated to manufacturing quality inversion products ever since. Roger and Jenny truly believe in the benefits of this simple, natural form of therapy that has been around since 400 BC. In the late 1970's, Roger tried many forms of therapy to help manage his pain. He finally discovered that by inverting, he was able to relieve his back pain and begin the road to recovery. He credits inversion for keeping him pain free, healthy, and active. Inversion has changed Roger's life, and now he is dedicated to sharing his knowledge of inversion and quality products.

Well made and worth the price. Beneficial and relaxing but be sure to adjust to your height. Sometimes my back will hurt when I get off this but that is probably just me.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best of the four brands/models that I tried
First, if you're not supposed to use ANY inversion table, you probably shouldn't evaluate THIS one. And if you bought a different Teeter model, don't evaluate this one.

I'm 6-5+ and about 225 lbs, and used to use gravity boots, and I wanted something a lot more user-friendly. I wanted relief from back pain and from related joint pain, and a chiropractor friend suggested an inversion table as an inexpensive alternate to the highly-promoted DRX-9000 computer-driven traction table that chiropractors offer.

I am hard to please, generally speaking, so it is unusual for me to give any product more than 3-4 stars. But I tried three other inversion tables (one from Kettler, one from Dick's sporting goods, and a more expensive Teeter model, and the F5000 is easily the best of the bunch, although not quite perfect (see #4 below). The more expensive Teeter model didn't offer me anything that was worth the extra money.

Bottom line: (1) The ankle clamps on the F5000 are MUCH more comfortable than the other brands. IF you open up the ankle clamps fully when you get off the device, it is quite easy to get your ankles back in for the next session (I tied a little rope to the handle of the clamp release to make it a tad easier to reach - but that's a personal preference.) I use it without shoes on -- which the directions recommend against -- and just make sure the clamps are snug on my ankles. The clamps are spring-loaded, and will tighten up sufficiently if you wiggle your ankles a bit. (2) The Teeter models were MUCH easier to assemble -- just snap a few parts together (the Kettler took hours, and cost more), and climb on. Your first time on, it might take a minute or two to get everything adjusted right, but after that, no adjustments are needed. (3) Adjustment on the F5000 is really simple. Pull out a spring-loaded pin, slide the column to the appropriate hole for your height (marked on the column), and let the pin pop into that hole. (4) The tightly stretched fabric of the "bed" does stretch, so I bought a $2 "kneeling pad" at Home Depot and slid it inside the fabric. Problem solved. (5) You can fold it up and slide it under the bed, although it's not as compact as something like an ironing board.

SUMMARY: My 87-year-old father liked it for both back pain and neck pain, so he bought one for himself. Even though he usually shies away from new "gadgets," he had no trouble setting it up and adjusting it on his own. I think he said it took him about 10 minutes from the time he dragged the carton in from the garage until he was using it.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Pleased with purchase
I bought this for my husband for his birthday, he has a bulging disc, this has eleviated his back pain. We have not fully inverted yet, baby stepping it, but so far so good


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - AHHH
I have degenerative disk disease of my lower spine. using the teeter helps to take the pressure off the nerves when they are pinched. My whole family tried it and was amazed how easy it is and how good they felt afterwards.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Such relief from pain and so easy.
Had struggled with almost constant sciatica due to degenerative disk disease. When pain became severe, I would have an epidural injection and return to my baseline, which wasn't very good. Working full time as an RN, I was willing to try almost anything. Having seen the Teeter Hang up, I researched the theory behind the anti gravity effect this product provided and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did! I started out slow with the length of time I would "hang" and felt almost immediate relief. This product sits in my living room and I use it a couple times a day for up to five minutes each time. I have no leg pain and haven't felt this pain free in years. It was easy to assemble and is built very sturdy and strong. Although at first, I was a little nervous about it's ability, I now have complete faith and am so glad I gave this product a try. I strongly recommend this product for anyone with a similar condition.
