Product Description
Whether you want to enjoy better posture, reduce back pain, or simply minimize your daily stress load, the Teeter Hang Ups EP-550 inversion therapy table makes a terrific choice. Inversion therapy works by placing your body in line with the downward force of gravity. In the process, inversion elongates the spine, increases the space between the vertebrae, and relieves the pressure on discs, ligaments, and nerve roots. And less pressure means less back pain, as well as fewer headaches and neck problems. Inversion is an ideal therapy for people with persistent spine and muscle problems, in addition to athletes who frequently push their body out of whack through repetitive muscle motions, such as runners, weightlifters, skiers, bikers, and golfers. Studies suggest that inverting yourself a mere 25 degrees for even a few minutes per day can have tremendously positive effects.The EP-550 is outfitted with such features as Flex Technology, which allows the backrest to bend accommodate your stretches for greater mobility and range of motion; an adjustable foot platform with two settings, allowing you to find the optimum position for ankle comfort and security; and an EZ Angle tether strap, which offers preset angles at 20, 40, and 60 degrees, along with custom angles depending on your preferred position. Other details include an adjustable head pillow for maximum comfort, an instructional DVD, and a 300-pound user capacity. The EP-550, which accommodates people as tall as 6 feet 6 inches, carries a five-year warranty.
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.

on 2010-09-01The inversion table came in two days and was well packed. It was very easy to put together with the paper manual, but I realized after that the video that came with it has instructions and that would have made it even easier. The video is very thorough and has a lot of good exercises on it for those with back problems. I looked at a lot of different brands and models before I picked this one, and I think this one is worth the money as it is very comfortable and made well. My husband has problems with the disks in the thoracic region of his spine, and his doctors cannot do anything for him. I got this for him to see if it would help. He loves it and tries to use every night, and it seems to be helping a lot. When we went away for a couple of weeks, he noticed a big difference when he wasn't using it. I also enjoy using it every so often, and it doesn't hurt my feet as long as I keep my ankles flexed. I'm a personal trainer and find it not only a nice way to stretch and lengthen the body, but also great for doing core exercises.

I have 2 herniated disks and in between decompression therapy treatments I use my Inversion table as it aligns my spine. It works for me.

on 2010-08-18I've had my Teeter Hang Ups EP-550 now for about a month and I really enjoy spending time on it. I am close to doing full inversion and I think in a few more weeks I will be doing full inversions.
I have no back issues but wanted to be able to keep my back in good condition for the rest of my life. The only time that my back is sore is the next day after I finish my workout at the gym due to the lactic acid build-up in the muscles. But now I go on the Teeter Hang Ups after my workout and the following morning I don't feel any soreness anymore. It's totally amazing to feel refreshed from a workout and not feel sore the next day. You can't beat that.
I have read many reviews here that it has helped those that are having back trouble and it is great to read the stories of how it has helped them gain relief. I would recommend this product to anyone that wants to keep their back in great shape or to help relieve pain if you have back trouble since it seems to be helping others.
Besides that, the Teeter Hang Ups feels safe to invert on and it is really well constructed and comfortable. Your ankles will feel uncomfortable in the beginning when you invert but you will adjust after you have spent time on it. You have to wear some thick socks and comfortable tennis shoes. That does the trick for me.

on 2010-07-31I researched several other inversion table manufacturers before deciding to purchase the Teeter EP-550. After three weeks of daily use I can report that I am very satisfied with the product. When hanging upside down you want an inversion table that is manufactured to high standards.
Assembly of the product was easy if you follow the directions. I am 6'1" and my wife is 5'4" so the ability to easily adjust the table is a real plus and encourages daily use. The design of the locking system for your feet and ankles makes you feel very secure when hanging upside down. I find it is best to wear heavy athletic shoes and socks for the best comfort when inverting. There is some pressure on the top of the foot and ankles especially when fully inverted but you quickly get used to it.
One of the best design features is the adjustable pivot point which let's the user control the speed of tilting backwards. This is great when you first start using the product and makes the user more confident to use it alone. There is a also an adjustable strap that allows you to pre-determine the maximum angle of inversion.
The manual urges beginners to limit their inversion to 60-degrees the first three weeks. This allows your body to acclimate to the felling of being inverted and you get all the benefits of spinal decompression. I sit a lot in front of a computer and I find this relieves a lot of tension in my back when I invert in the evening. I am starting to do some of the exercises like curving and rotating the back and the plastic table flexes for more comfort which is another useful feature. I can feel my back and abdominal muscles being stretched during inversion and abdominal crunches while inverted are really challenging. The Teeter unit is very stable and this is reassuring when doing exercises while inverted.
I know there are cheaper tables available but I am very pleased with the Teeter EP-550 after three weeks of use.
