Teeter hangs ups is unquestionably the leader when it comes to inversion tables. They have been in operation for about 30 years now. Many will recognize them by the following names teeter, teeter inversion tables, and hang ups. The person who started it all Roger Teeter is often seen offline and online promoting his brand and promoting inversion therapy. teeter hang ups offer some of the best inversion tables in the industry and have tested them for many years so you know your getting quality.
Teeter sells a variety of back treatment therapies including the EP 550, EP 950, gravity boots and EP 550 sport. I would personally recommend the EP 550 for a few reasons. If you do decide that inversion will help your lower back pain and you consulted your physiotherapist and they have also supported your decision then teeter hang ups is a great place to start looking. The EP 950 is a great model because it has oversized handles and a lever support.
Teeter hang ups made the oversized handles to make it easier for the user who is in a 180 degree angle to return to an upright position or to lower the angle of inversion. I know from personal experience after testing dozens of inversion tables that when first starting out it can be a bit of a shock when you are completely upside down and are reaching for the handle bars to get yourself back to a normal position. This is why I would recommend the Teeter hang ups.
Secondly, the EP 950 has a lever which allows the user to easily lock themselves in and out. This lever allows the user to simply push down on the lever and easily lock there ankles in. If you plan on using your inversion table regularly and serious about curing your bulging disc, sciatica or lower back pain then I would suggest putting the extra few dollars in to get these two features.
teeter has also made there tables user friendly as they have added a user manual and dvd to instruct and educate the user about inversion table therapy. It is really worth the money you spend to get a hang up. Enough said, if your unsure try out a few model if you can and ask an expert there opinion about teeter hang ups.
