I'm 74 and have had a Teeter for about 10 yrs now and use it every morning. I highly recommend it

@abrahamrodriguez3240 Жыл бұрын

I recommend either the LX-9 or the EP-960 models. They both have the extended bar for the ankle adjustments and they both have the longer handles to assist in getting out of the incline positions. In my opinion, Teeter is the class of these inversion tables. At 83 years old and living alone I tend to limit myself to a 60 degree setting. 3-5 minutes a day works miracles.

I am 81 yrs old and have been using my Teeter for the past 12 yrs. I have had back problems ever since being in military service. Tried a lot of different things to get my back to function better but it has been a struggle. The Teeter has been a real life saver for me, I only have to streach for a count of 60 and it usually gets me back to where my back pain is relieved, if not then I use a ice pack on my back for a few hours and I am able to deal with my back. My Teeter is not quit as fancy as yours but it sure has done the job for me. Get video.

Hi Riley, I'm looking forward to an update on this Teeter table as well as some of the other items you have tried to help with your back recovery. I've injured my back a couple of "good" times. I'm in the worst shape ever due to fear of injury. I was always very active with a physical job and surfing. Not anymore. I barely make it out of the house. I desperately want to improve, but mentally blocked. I still have nerve issues with 2 bulging disks in my low back. Quick question/short answer ... do you still use this as part of your routine and do you recommend? Sorry, that was 2 questions 😅

@jeffreystewart8477 Жыл бұрын

Got mine two weeks ago. BEST health decision I ever made. Car accident going to work left me with 2-3 compression fracture in my spine (L1,L2), fractured tailbone, bulging disks in neck(C4,C5) and tons of shoulder pain along with it. Been off work for over a year now and this is the one thing after buying every foam roller, paying for massages and chiro, CBD yadda yadda, neck and back stretchers, changing sleeping patterns, pain pills, self adjusting, wifey walking on my back…. This is the one thing that lets me know brighter days are coming ❤

@@kenmastersmasterYou are correct, I just happened to get an overzealous surgeon with my 1st lumbar fusion (he fused too many levels, I was only 25 & already had 4 previous & successful microdiscectomies by a neurosurgeon; I could still play softball etc after those but the fusion disabled me for life. Thankfully after the bad/1st fusion collapsed a more skilled sports spine surgeon was able to remove the Harrington rods & screws & refuse with donor bone & it’s held up beautifully for 20+ years (can’t do anything about arthritis though 😩). I saw in your other comment you are considering microsurgery on your disc, even 30 yrs ago mine helped tremendously (I was young, stubborn & dumb & got back to playing ball too quickly & needed more surgeries). This day & time they have perfected that surgery so much that I’ve heard some people can be up and back to work in a couple days!🤩 Sciatica, spondyl-itis or -osis &, numbness & all the other issues that can cause debilitating pain can hopefully be helped these days with more fine tuned/precise surgery. I Pray you get some relief soon, I can relate & feel for you & anyone else dealing chronic spine pain.😊

Most fail to realize Amazon has all the big names too, I just got a new inversion table for $200 which is definitely not the cheapest either on Amazon and its pretty solid, more solid than the $300 one I got from big 5 and it also has massage and heat unlike the more expensive one.

I have had mine for years. It’s saves me. However, when I moved someone else took it apart, I did not check the pivot point. I luckily had my Ugg boots on because I have a bad ankle and find wearing snow boots unlaced or Ugg’s cushion my ankles. Well thank god because I got stuck upside down. I could not get myself back up. Well now I know how it can happen. But I was able to slide my feet pretty easily out of the boots and slowly lowered myself to the floor. So for now on those are the only shoes I wear when I use it. Of course I have it balanced properly again but learned a valuable lesson. Especially if others use it and move the positions at all. So test what would you do if that happened, with a buddy!. Also second safety… I always wear my I watch or keep my phone on me or both. I really love this. I sit all day and I could not live without it to decompress and relax my back muscles.

I just finished putting mine together, nobody home now so tried inverting to like 60 degrees (phone in my pocket just incase, LOL) but have to learn to really do it, was hard to move back, so next time will have a spotter, I am 5,3 216 pounds, instructions says something about being overweight and not using it but only found out after already got it, I have not seen any videos of any overweight person using it so will find out if it can help me stretch, got back and waist sprained at work and when what doctor gave me does not work with the immobilizing pain, bought this one, would see if PT approves and WC insurance may pay for it; $431.00 at Amazon currently. Got some back pain by using it that one time for few seconds, maybe because the effort I made to get myself in the straight position, so have to learn to control the movement effortless.

@RileySorensen Жыл бұрын

Yeah I’ve seen 2 doctors now. Got an MRI which showed 2 herniated disks, but only one of them was hitting a nerve. The shots I got were cortisone, it was a whole procedure to get it, but went smooth. They said it would help for 3 months, I am beyond that timing now and I feel so much better still. The things I have done that helped the most: -Started sleeping with a pillow between my legs, I’m a side sleeper. And on for lumbar support. -Avoid any squats and deadlifts for at least a year - docs orders -Inversion table -back strengthening exercises (this is probably one of the biggest things) I tried so many things, even bought a tens unit, massage chair, special shoe inserts. But what I listed held me the most. I feel almost 100% back to normal! I’ll make a video is all things I’ve done that helped (and didn’t)!

@7THxSIGN Жыл бұрын

@@RileySorensen I've injured my back lifting numerous times (always deadlifting or squatting). When you have a herniated or bulging disc, you have it for life. However, my flair up last year was the worst. My back would give out on me almost every 2 months. I waisted so much time on doctor visits. Everything from chiropractors to spine surgeons to physical therapists. It wasn't until I found Dr. Stuart McGill and his book "Back Mechanic" did I begin to finally after years of lower back pain see relief. I never opted for an injection because I never wanted to mask the pain. I wanted to know and feel the pain so it would help me understand what I was doing to cause it. In my 20s and 30s when I would injury my lower back it would take only a couple of weeks to recover. Now that I am 40 I can tell you it takes much longer. For this reason I have stopped barbell squats and deadlifts. I do other safer and frankly efficient lower back and core exercises. The McGill Big 3 have been a lifesaver for me. His book truly saved my life when everyone else failed me in the medical field. Be careful and try not to get anymore injections as it can be a road to surgery due to it weakening the surrounding tissues.

The other end is attached to the handles on the side. When I'm done I just pull on the rope to pull up on the pin and disengage the ankle locking mechanism.
