Click here for a side-by-side comparison of Teeter Hang Ups Inversion TablesI purchased the F5000 in the summer of 2006 as I was preparing for the 2007 Phoenix Marathon. After using the table for a couple of weeks, the tightness and stiffness that I have been used to for some time began to decrease. The table increased my flexibility, and I truly believe that it helped me to run one of my fastest marathons. I completed the Phoenix Marathon on January 14 2007 in 2 hours-49 minutes-12 seconds. This placed me 39th overall out of over 8000 runners, and 5th in the 35-39 age group. I am sure that the F5000 was certainly a large part of my success. I believe the Teeter Inversion Tables would have a huge impact on runners and triathletes like myself that are looking to feel healthier and fitter during training and races. I am now looking forward to the Master's age group this year, and thanks to the F5000, I will be able to compete against the best in my division at any big race I decide to compete in. - B. Flajnik
I had a lower back discectomy in 1977, and typical of these operations, the stress of the removed disc is transfered to the disc above and below and degeneration has set in. I have had lower back pain constantly for the last two years. I investigated the disc decompression therapy by chiropractors and was less than impressed not seeing any long term results available. Not too trusting of chiropractors in general, I then investigated alternatives including artificial disc replacement. Skeptical, I tried the inversion table therapy as a starting point. What the heck, the price was right so give it a whirl. Immediately on inversion the first time I experienced complete relief of back pain and the relaxation for the whole body was wonderful. Now two months later, I use the table early and late in the day as a form of meditation and relaxation. With all the snow shoveling in Colorado this year, my construction job and my active life style, I have pushed my lower back considerably with no pain or cramping. Hooorraayyy! I am a believer in inversion. - J . Emmel
We just got our table last week. My husband has been wanting one for a while--his back has been bothering him for about a year. I have had back problems since 1990, when I was diagnosed with a herniated disc. I am a certified registered nurse anesthetist, and have seen countless patients who have had back surgery with less than desirable results. I was of the opinion that you just "muddle through as best you can." As luck would have it, last week I had a full-blown back spasm so that I could not move AT ALL. I went to the ER, got the appropriate injections, saw my Dr. the next day, and started back on the regimen of pills every 6 hrs. Two days later, I thought, "I might as well give it a try." You see, I really didn't think the table would do much good. I felt instantly better when I got off the table (I was on for 10 minutes at about a 20 degree angle). I really mean instantly!! I have been on it every day since, twice a day. I am now completely pain free. It has only been 4 days. UNBELIEVABLE!!! I can't begin to express how much relief I have experienced. If someone else had told me this, I would not believe them. It is truly amazing. Thank you.- E. Boetel
After 3 months of Chiropractic and MD care for a bone spur on a vertabra that was stabbing into the nerve, my only option was surgery. I had nothing to loose, so I purchased a Teeter Hang Ups. Using the table three times a day for 20 minutes a session, it took about 3 days and I started to see results and after a week it was like a miracle. My back was feeling better than it had in a long time, I was able to sleep in bed again and sleep all night long, not for an hour at a time with my knees on the floor and my head and chest on an ottoman, like I had been. In about a month I was back at work. That was 3 1/2 years ago and today I feel GREAT!!! I use my table for only 10 minutes every day I can. Inversion has been wonderful for me and let me tell you I was in "PAIN" and when you are in that much pain your brain starts thinking crazy things to end it! Inversion basically saved my life and I can't say enough good things about it. The Teeter F7000 is a quality piece of equipment and you should not have any reservations in purchasing one. Good luck and God bless.- JW Stevens, Camden, AR

I have had back pain for the past 5 years. After extensive pain management and physical therapy, most of the pain has gone away. But there are those days where no matter how I stand, sit, lay, or stretch, I can feel the massive pinch of nerves in my low back. I ended up getting a Teeter Hang Ups Inversion table and I couldn't be happier. It DOES fold up nicely for storage but let me tell you something...this is a permanant fixture in my house. I have had it over a year and a half and use it daily. Once you try this you wont ever put it away. It has paid for itself time and time again by keeping the chiropractor visits away. I AM a skeptic and rarely find a product that honestly helps but this is amazing and I'm so happy to be giving a true testimonial! Feel free to email me with any questions! - Chris, Jacksonville, FL
I have been a user of Hang Ups inversion table for several years now. I depend on it to relieve severe back pain from a badly deteriorated spine. My back is to the point that they state I am not a candidate for surgery due to the damage there has been to my back. I suffer severe spasms and am unable to sit if I do anything that causes my back to act up. I use chiropractors on a regular basis in hopes of keeping everything in tune, but when it acts up, the chiropractor informs me I need to get out my inversion table and come back to see him when my muscles are relieved so he can manage me. I have returned from trips on several occasions over the years in order to use my Hang Ups. It allows me to be able to not use pain medication when I have the Hang Ups available to me. After a recent move, one of the few items I took with me was my inversion table and to my dismay I discovered that their were pieces missing and I was unable to use it. After a period of searching and hoping to locate the roller pieces, I had become immobile and was unable to get any rest even lying on the floor with legs elevated. In desperation, I contacted Teeter Hang Ups on the internet and received a double response within a matter of minutes saying a replacement for my lost parts were on their way. Within a matter of no more than two hours after I had sent out an email to the marketing dept, my parts were on their way. I can not express how much I appreciate a company of this caliber of service. Not only is their product superb, so is their service. I think most will agree that this type company is hard to find in today's world.- E. Elliott, Fredericksburg, TX
Hello, just wanted to let you know that I already owned an inversion table from Stamina. The table was not bad but the Teeter Hang Ups I feel has much better quality as well as features that were important to me. The height adjustment on the Teeter is much more accurate. The ease of removing the table is far superior to the Stamina. The Teeter stays locked down during full inversion as the Stamina would not stay locked down.This is the way an inversion table is supposed to be. Great Job! Thank You.
-- A second letter: Hello again! Since receiving the new table (Teeter's) I have been inverting everyday. I am aware that all of the pain relief is temporary but if I do it often, I won't feel the pain. I have lower back pain and sciatica. The honest truth is before I ever inverted, that includes with the other brand table I had, I would have to crawl out of the bed in the morning. The pain was so bad. As long as I invert, there is no signs of pain. I refused to go to the Dr. because in my opinion, once you start that cycle of going to the Dr. it never ends. I agree that at times you may need a Dr. but I have no intentions in paying for a Drs. lifestyle. I get better results by inverting. A prime example is my sister. She has the sciatic problem, she goes to the Dr. and has been there for 15 yrs. She still has the sciatic problem. She wants an inversion table however she lost her husband a short time ago and therefore cannot afford one. She wants me to give her my other table (Stamina). I don't think I should do that because...if I won't use that table, why would I allow her to? I am 110 lbs and I wasn't comfortable on that table. I am just amazed at the difference in these two tables. Honestly, I was prepared to send it back if the quality was the same as the Stamina or worse. The two tables are worlds apart. Keep up the good work. Thank You.- M. Lauer, Kinsman, OH
I received as a Christmas present from my husband the F5000 inversion table, gravity boots, inversion bar, all the equipment that I had asked to have. I have had trouble with my back and protruding discs in my neck for many years. Physical Therapy and pain medicine did no good what so ever. A neurologist had suggested surgery, but frankly that frightened me. I just knew that from years of riding a tractor during my spare time and then a nice riding mower during our work time, that my spine was as compressed as one could possibly be without having been in an accident. Sometimes just thinking about inverting myself, somehow, my back would literally ache for the feeling of inversion-decompression. So, I asked for something on this line for Christmas. Well, the good ole boy purchased just what I wanted. I immediately felt a difference after my first use of the table. It is incredible. If I miss more than one day my back will hurt and my neck press on nerves until I invert again. It is AMAZING!! Truly. I cannot wait to see the more extensive benefits from inverting as a way of life. Thanks for the welfare of those of us who do not want to rely on prescriptions or surgery or pain as a way of life. - T. Hall

We recently received the inversion table. Assembly was surprisingly easy, instructions were great, and the quality of this product is amazing for the cost we paid for it. We're looking forward to experiencing the benefits. Thanks for an outstanding product in a time when so many others are cheaply made, yet overpriced. Yours is the way it should be.- S. Barnhart, Lititz, PA
I first inverted at my Chiropractor and received such a dramatic result that day, that I got on the internet and came to the conclusion that the Teeter Hang Ups was the best out there. After buying and receiving the F5000, I was TOTALLY impressed with the QUALITY of the product, packaging, and materials. I am an electrical engineer, so it is hard to please me in this regard! I have a recently diagnosed herniated L4/L5 disk and have had low back problems for 20 or so years, so I have been looking for alternatives to surgery and a way to reduce/eliminate my need for pain medication. Since using the F5000 for almost 3 weeks, I have found that my pain has significantly reduced (Sciatica mostly) and I am able to do more than I have in the last several months. I use the table once a day (right before bedtime) for about 5-10 minutes and have been doing some of the stretching (at full inversion) shown on the DVD. I am able to relax much more quickly now and am looking forward to the long-term benefits that this form of exercise affords. Thanks so much, Teeter! - K. Anderson, Monday, January 02, 2006
My husband had begun contemplating back surgery to relieve his pain, and I got concerned. He has a very physical job as a Tree and Stump Removal expert. The last few years he has been experiencing increasingly agonizing pain and was taking pain meds multiple times daily to get some temporary relief. The doctors gave him no hope of eliminating the pain, even with the surgery... I, myself, have had back problems ever since I can remember. In January I bought the F7000 inversion table. I did quite a lot of research on inversion and various products, and had settled on the Teeter [Hang Ups Inversion Table]. My husband has been able to reduce taking his meds to only once a day 2 or 3 times a week, and has reduced the number of times he must lie flat each day... He is no longer contemplating back surgery right now and may be able to put it off indefinitely if he continues to improve with inversion. I use the inversion table every other day for about 3 minutes and have noticed the sciatic pain has been greatly reduced, my back pain has become more the exception than the norm, and I feel better in general. In fact, I can work all day without constant pain and I even felt good enough to join a "health and fitness" group. THANK YOU, Teeter Hang Ups...You've given us hope. - D. Liberto, Clarence Center, NY
I received the F5000 Inversion table yesterday and immediately assembled it. I purchased the F5000 because I have had continued back pain due to compressed discs in my lower back in the L1/L2 areas. After I ran 4 miles this morning and cooled down, I inverted myself at 75 degrees for 30 seconds, then resting at 180 degrees, alternating for 20 minutes. As soon as I removed myself from the F5000, I immediately could feel instant relief from the normal pain and discomfort I experience after exercising! My lower back muscles were more relaxed, and I had more mobility and flexibility then I have had in some time after only one 20 minute session on the F5000 Inversion Table! I will include this inversion therapy daily for obvious reasons - the F5000 really works! It made a believer out of me after just one session! Thanks so much!- D. Bigelow, Waldorf, MD

I purchased the inversion table 3 years ago. I had a very bad time with my back and couldn't stand in the morning when I awoke. The premise seemed to make sense and so I ordered it. I did however have one concern. When I was little I suffered from motion sickness and to this day have a problem from time to time with dizziness due to the muscles in my neck. I set up the inversion table as soon as I received it. However, I was afraid to invert even slightly because I was afraid of the rush of blood to my head. So I walked around it daily for about three weeks. Everyone else in my house used it right away and really enjoyed it but I couldn't get up the nerve. Finally my husband insisted and I got on. I didn't invert right away but was so surprised when there wasn't a blood rush to my head and I wasn't nauseous or dizzy! I was so surprised. What a wonderful feeling to get the weight off my legs and my back! I was thrilled. I use the table regularly now and haven't had a back problem since. My friends can't believe how I've recovered and I can't believe how much better I feel. My neck problem has reduced in severity as well. I never expected that! Thank you! I love it! - Linda London, Ont.I am employed as a Heavy Equipment Operator. I work 12 hours a day, 6 days in a row. That means I am sitting in a truck getting bumped and jostled around for 12 hours a day. As a result I often experienced lower back spasms and upper back pain and stiffness. I watched the information about the inversion table several times before I ordered it - as I was rather sceptical. I no longer have any doubts - IT WORKS! I use the Inversion table before and after work and no longer experience back spasms and stiffness. It's a small investment for a better back!! Thank You!- A.M. Dauphinee, Ft. McMurray, AB.
My grandmother has had many problems with her spine. Specifically, her two discs in the lower spine were not aligned due to heavy lifting. She wasn't able to carry on with her day-to-day activities. Her doctor suggested expensive traction treatments which she never enjoyed. I always felt sorry for her and when I saw your enthusiasm on TV this summer, I decided to buy her an inversion table. Tell you what, after that, her life has changed completely. She is not only recovering but she is enjoying her life to the fullest! Best of all, it was the best investment I've ever made. She doesn't have to visit her physyotherapist and this she is able to save a lot of money. Thanks to the inversion table that changed her life and now I am so happy for her! - M. Das, Calgary, AB
I just wanted to let you know how much your inversion table helped me. I was in a car accident, had back pain, sciatic pain, headaches, neck pain, and breast surgery. I had tried everything to get rid of my tremendous pain: acupuncture, hot pads, massage therapy. Nothing helped. Following my breast surgery, I had scar tissue. The doctors wanted to give me cortisone shots. I refused. Then they talked about back surgery. I bought the inversion table. Believe me: it's the best purchase I ever did. It alleviated my neck pain, my back pain is gone, and I don't need the surgery. Even the scar tissue disappeared. I bought a second inversion table, so I keep 1 at home and 1 in the office. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYBODY. IT'S A LIFE SAVER. LIFE IS WORTH LIVING NOW! IT'S A MIRACLE I'M ON MY FEET. Need I say more? - M. Rolley, Toronto, Ont.

I just returned from a long walk with friends, had a hot shower and headed down to my Inversion Table to stretch out the kinks. I bought it through TV 4 maybe 5 years ago because my brother bought one and raved about it! We both suffer from painful back and hips. I don't do all the turns and situps my brother does but I do stretch and relax. I always feel better when I use it daily, as does my husband. I recommend it to everyone. - B. Meads, Lumby, BC
I'm a huge fan of the inversion table which I purchased several years ago. Wouldn't be without it. I suffer from a very painful bulged disc in my neck due to a car accident along with Fibromyalgia and severe migraines. The inversion table is an absolute must. Not only do I use it but so does everyone that comes to our home. Hard to get them back to visiting once they find the inversion table. I find the inversion table is wonderful for the lymph system, the migraines and keeps the nerves in my neck from being impacted due to the severity of the bulged disc. I spent months in physical therapy seen a gazillion specialists and took many pain killers but nothing has been as successful as the inversion table. It gives me a sense of power to help my body naturally deal with the medical concerns.- P. Schryver
My wife bought Teeter Hang Ups F5000 and SL Spyder Gravity Boots for me Christmas 2000. I'm very happy to say that, although I only invert for a few minutes an average of 2 or 3 times a week, I am convinced that it is the biggest factor in preventing any further debilitating experiences with my back "going out." I only wish I had discovered the Teeter Hang Ups inversion table sooner; I'm quite certain I could have spared myself countless days of sheer agony, and saved myself quite a lot of money on chiropractic therapy.- D. & J. Crouse, Roanoke, VA
We are definitely using the inversion table, probably not as often as we should, but it's a life saving device for us. When we are in real trouble, we go down to the basement instead of paying a physiotherapist or chiropractor. The whole family has joined a gym (even though we have thousands of dollars in gym equipment in the rec room which is not being used at the moment) but the inversion table is still being used. We have told a number of people about it and after they came to our place to try it, some of them bought their own!- I. & M. Sarazin

I would like to thank you for both producing and providing such an excellent product. My daily routine is to sit in front of a computer where posture can easily be forgotten, run for an hour at lunch, and in addition lift a round of weights for half that time. I do not have back problems, but wanted some type of stretching exercise. After completing research on the internet, I chose your product. With quick assembly, and a review of the enclosed instructional video, I was able to use the table almost immediately. Please note, I have never even seen an inversion table before delivery. Therefore sight unseen, I found myself overwhelmingly joyed with both the quality and ease of use. My first exercise surprise was to feel my back relax and literally hear the decompression of my spine. I followed very closely the few exercise examples on the video, and the table delivered as advertised (perhaps better) than the tape proclaimed. Born in August of 51, I'm still in pretty good shape (not too old yet), and my personal opinion is the table is wonderful for all at any age.- J. Plauche, Dallas, TX
As a junior, I was top five in the nation and played tennis for Pepperdine University from 1983-1986. In 1999, I finished my last year of eligibility playing tennis for Auburn University at Montgomery at the age of 35 years old. When the season began, I hurt my back playing tennis and had an MRI with a diagnosis of a severe herniated disc at L5 and L6. I was in such severe pain, I could not get out of bed. I tried [the inversion table] with instant relief and have never had a problem since... I played the season with AUM and finished with a 15-1 record in singles and a 15-1 record in doubles. As a teaching Pro on the court between 6-12 hours a day, I highly recommend using the Teeter Hang Ups® products for prevention of back problems or relief and healing of a back problem. Every teaching Pro should use it.- D. Leal, Montgomery, AL
Thanks for such a great common sense product that requires no pills!!!- N. Burnham
In May, I herniated the L5-S1 disc. My doctor recommended drugs and pain management to start with but the meds made me sick and I had a several week wait to go to pain management. The pain was intolerable and I was having a hard time being pleasant at work. Home was a whole other story! I was telling a neighbor about it and she suggested I come to her house and try her inversion table. The first time I tried it, the pain down my leg almost completely disappeared. I borrowed her table and as long as I use it, I feel good. I have gotten better and better. I take Aleve when I do have pain, cancelled pain management and am my sweet old self at home and work. Since I can't keep my neighbor’s table for ever, I have purchased my own and have a couple of friends anxious to try it. I am sooooo happy. I am 60 years old and never expected to feel this well again.- J. Grieder, The Villages, FL

My wife suffered from severe sciatica for four months. During that time the pain progressed from a mildly annoying feeling in her upper right thigh to a stabbing, burning pain which ran the complete length of her leg. It's important that you understand that my wife has an extremely high pain tolerance, however this pain reduced her to tears many nights. Sleep was impossible. Finally I purchased your inversion table. In less than one week she was sleeping again and the pain had diminished considerably. We've owned the table now for about 4 weeks. My wife uses it two to three times a day, for about 6 minutes a session. She is her old self again, sleeps fine and is pain free. The folks at the spine clinic wanted to discuss surgery with her. Purchasing your inversion table was the best thing we ever did.- J. Luper, Salt Lake City, UT
I recently purchased an inversion table from you and I am writing this letter to express my complete satisfaction with the product and gratitude to you for providing an instrument that has changed my life. I have accepted inversion therapy as a part of my daily physical routine and feel that continued use of this product can return me to a regular way of life. In fact, it already has. I am sure that I am one of many back pain suffers that benefit from inversion therapy, but I am also sure that there are many back pain suffers who are not aware of the relief they can receive from inversion therapy. Thank you so much for providing a product that has allowed me live a full and active life.- J. Carney, Port Ludlow, WA
I am a 43 year old female who has been stricken with osteoarthritis. People look at me and see a vibrant, healthy looking person, but they have no idea what's happening on the inside of my body. I have suffered with lower back and neck pain for three year's now. For the past three month's I have been inverting, and cannot begin to describe the relief I have experienced. I would like to encourage anyone sitting on the fence about inversion, to jump off and try it. You have nothing to lose but sleepless nights and long hours of discomfort.- S. MacLeod, via e-mail
Personally, I like the idea of inversion. This is quiet different from doing a yoga headstand which still causes compression of the spine. A whole new perspective is gained from this practice. One begins to have new understanding of gravity. In the past, I have gone to a chiropractor to correct misalignment in the hips, spine and neck. Now, I notice some of these problems are alleviated from the inversion gym. I use the inversion table about 15 minutes a day in 3 five minute sessions. I feel absolutely safe on the machine and I trust my life to it when I am on it. This machine simply adds to the quality of my life.- D. Dyck, North Vancouver, B.C.

I have been using my new Teeter Hang Ups now for about 3 months and I see a remarkable improvement already. I use it a lot just for relaxation, but the improvement I notice is that the numbness I was experiencing in my left leg has improved dramatically. I would recommend Teeter Hang Ups to anyone - young or old - big or small. The other thing I noticed is that my hair is growing like wild fire since inverting. I have to go for a haircut more often!! I love my Teeter Hang Ups.- D. Morgan, Regina, Saskatchewan
I have always had a lot of problems with my back over the last ten years with muscle spasms and a lot of lower back pain. I have always thought that it would feel better if I could hang upside down to relieve the pressure. Recently I had such pain and muscle spasms that I was more comfortable lying flat on the floor. It hurt so much to get up and down. I went for back therapy and got some relief. I rented an Inversion table to see if it would help. I was amazed at the difference it made. The pain was relieved almost immediately. I use the table on a daily basis and feel great. A friend with sciatic problems came over and tried the Inversion Table and said she felt a lot of relief. She couldn’t believe the difference it made for her. It is easy to use, I would like to thank you for making my life so much better.- H. MacOdrum, via e-mail
We purchased our Inversion Table and Inversion Boots over two months ago. My husband and I use the inversion table on a regular basis, usually once a day. We also encourage our teenagers to use it. I am pleased to have the opportunity to tell prospective buyers that we feel the inversion table is one of our best investments! We are avid golfers and I am a fitness/yoga instructor. We use the inversion table to lengthen our spine, which helps to prevent back pain and thus maintain overall health.- B & R. Winchester
We are very impressed with the quality and engineering of your Inversion Table. - D.S. Henson, Chattanooga, TN
