 excellent quality Sep 01, 2010
The 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.

This item is excellent. I am delighted to say that you will definately feel the difference in your overall health.
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.
Wow! What a Great Feeling to be Inverted! Aug 18, 2010
I'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.

EP-550 A High Quality Inversion Table Jul 31, 2010
I 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.
