Inversion tables can help relieve pain, decompress the spine and reduce pressure, among other great benefits.
Inversion tables are growing in popularity every day for their benefits and ease of use. The EP-550 Inversion Table by Teeter is a UL Classified, voluntarily tested and well-made table for users of all skill levels.

Here are some of the benefits of the EP-550 Inversion Table:
Reduce Back Pain
Re-hydrate discs: Damaged discs can take a long time to repair since they don't have a direct blood supply. Inverted decompression takes pressure off the discs, allowing them to widen and hydrate with nutrients that help expedite repair. The added cushion helps increase shock absorption and flexibility.
Reduce nerve pressure: Inverting on a Teeter has been clinically proven to increase intervertebral separation, helping to open up the passageway for nerve roots. Less pressure means less pain.
Realign: The back is supported by hundreds of ligaments and muscles that stabilize the spine but also hold it in compression. When the back moves out of alignment from bad posture, too much sitting, or rotational activities, this support structure holds the body in misalignment. Even while lying down, your spine maintains 25% of standing pressure. In order to decompress, the spine needs a traction force of at least 60% of your body weight, roughly equivalent to inverting at an angle of 60 degrees on a Teeter. This type of progressive decompression naturally realigns the weight-bearing skeleton, promoting good posture.
Relax tense muscles: Inverting to as little as 25 degrees for a few minutes can help relax muscles and speed lymph flow. One study showed that EMG activity, an indicator of muscle pain, declined over 35% within ten seconds of inversion.
Improve Joint Function
Strengthens ligaments: Loading ligaments naturally provides better joint support and injury prevention.
Increases joint lubrication: Decompression aids in joint lubrication by altering the pressure and suction forces within the joint, helping to stimulate the synovial fluid that nourishes cartilage.
Improves joint flexibility and range of motion: The restored moisture in the soft tissue promotes the longevity of joint performance.
Encourages proper posture and body symmetry.
The EP series inversion tables include the following features:
Ergonomic Flex Technology: The patented design moves with you, accommodating stretches for greater range of motion. Movement while inverted encourages realignment and relaxes muscles. An adjustable pillow provides added support.
Optimum Decompression Surface: The smooth surface reduces friction, allowing the body to slide and achieve the fullest decompressive stretch.
Ankle Comfort Dial: The new foot platform design dials up or down for smaller or larger feet, allowing the ankle clamps to attain a secure and comfortable fit.
Quick Storage: Folds in just a few seconds to 28" x 16" x 66".
Unique and Patented Security Features: Auto-locking hinges, cam locks, and heat-treated steel parts create a more secure and durable product.
Precision Balancing: One-of-a-kind engineering offers smooth rotation and controlled lockout in full inversion.
Stable Base: (and added floor protection) Corner feet increase the A-frame base by 20% and reduce sliding on hard surfaces.
Pre-set Rotation Control: The adjustable or removable tether strap allows you to easily predetermine your maximum angle of inversion.
Smooth, Quiet Rotation: A de-rattler knob and specialized pivot bearings ensure a lifetime of squeak and rattle-free rotation.
Using a Teeter is simple and fast!
Set it to your height, secure your ankles and relax. Weight displacement caused by simple arm movement controls the rate and degree of rotation.
Start at 20 degrees, work up to 60. Benefits start at the gentle angle of 20 degrees. Over time, work up to at least 60 degrees, where the pressure in the spine is reduced to zero and decompression is fully realized.
Invert regularly! It takes only a few minutes to decompress the spine - use the Teeter several times a day to achieve maximum results.
Product support that adds value to your inversion experience.
All Teeter inversion tables come with a laminated
Owner's Manual attached to the frame for quick-reference and an
Instructional DVD to guide you through assembly and use. Teeter inversion tables come 85% pre-assembled.
As a
BONUS, the DVD includes five 10-20 minute exercise and stretching
Healthy Back Classes by Dr. Shawn, including a segment for stretching and strengthening on the Teeter.
Not all inversion tables are created equal.
Unlike most fitness products, inversion tables are not required to conform to quality standards for manufacturing. Teeter inversion tables are voluntarily tested to satisfy
UL Classification 60601-1, a medical-grade standard.
Additionally, an independent engineering evaluation rated the Teeter Hang Ups EP model with the highest
Factor of Safety of any model tested and it was the only inversion table that cycled without failure.
