I've been using an inversion table for around 20 years. I only use it for 5 to10 minutes in the morning doing side stretches, twists and sit-ups. This has been a life saver for me and it's a great way to start my day. I no longer have any back issues. My physical quality of life has never been better.

I started using inversion about 9 years ago. I am glad to see these videos because when I first started, I could find next to nothing for how to use an inversion table. Even on YouTube. It has greatly improved my condition, but I have to use it DAILY to maintain.

I've had back problems for the past twenty years, it was so painful that I couldn't put my socks on or tie my shoes, and I was even walking with a limp on my left leg due to a bulge Disc. A friend of mine told me about the Teeter, but I was hesitant to purchase one since I had tried everything else. I finally ordered and received my Teeter X1 last week. I started to notice the difference right away. Now, after ten days of using my Teeter, I can honestly say I've not felt this good in a long long time. not only the limp is gone, but I can also run and my energy level has gone through the roof. Thank you to Teeter!

As a regular user of an inversion table, I'd say this video gives excellent advice. I will also say that the results for me have been well beyond expectations after two years.

I just bought one and on the first time, I found instant relief for the first time in 10 years.Awesome!!!

I just bought a table and the first few days I was on for 30 min. (I had another table 5 years ago which I used regularly) I felt so happy and excited each time I inverted! I just love the feeling.
And I think the teeter is the best one. I appreciate these videos and all the education from the teeter company. Thank you Rylie. You’re doing a good job. I love the sturdy quality workmanship and design of the teeter L5.

I Got my FitSpine X1 just before Thanksgiving 2019. My chiropractor suggested I try an inversion table (and spend the money on a Teeter since the quality is unsurpassed vs. other tables) after going through another round of serious lower back muscle spasms. I have endured 28 years of chronic back pain - I am 53, have suffered from sciatica, ankylosing spondylitis, and three lumbar that have spurs that impinge on both nerves and disks (revealed by two different MRI's) that cause EXCRUCIATING pain. I was fortunate enough to feel relief within two days and am now virtually PAIN FREE. I was hesitant during the first month to use this phrase but after two months, my Teeter has been LIFE CHANGING and I finally believe that I have my life back. Thank you Roger and Rylie and to all the staff at Teeter!

I am amazed at my results so far. I've had this table for one week. My stiff neck is now a bobblehead. My arm which has hurt for about a year and a half after lifting out front at a 90° angle has NO PAIN! (I can lift at all angles!) And this may sound like a weird one... But WOW. My bathroom success! I'll just say, inversion is the new coffee. I'm at 45° for 5 min/twice daily. ❤

Just recently gave away my original Teeter I bought in 2001 after bulging 2 discs in my lumbar spine. Using your device along with other home treatments helped me to finish my law enforcement career with a service retirement in 2019 on my 50th birthday with a grand total of 5 bulged discs. I can say with 100% certainty that it would not have been possible without inversion therapy 1-2 times a day for those 18 years. Oh and I didn't give up hanging upside down when I gave away my Teeter. I upgraded to the Teeter EP-970 and I give you guys an A+ for the redesign of the ankle clamps since I ditched those on my original Teeter and converted to gravity boots for comfort.

TEETER WORKED for me!

Thanks Teeter

I have always been utterly shocked that inversion table videos never talk about the benefit that I found using them within weeks of starting. And that is the incredible potential they have as an ab exerciser! I bought a table on the first of May and by the end of June I had a nice set of abs! lol. And that was at age 48!! No diet, no nothing. I rode a bike 2 or 3 times a week and used the inversion table 3 times a week and did inverted crunches and sit ups and I don't think I ever did more than 10 reps. It was easier than I could ever imagined. As far as I'm concerned, every household that has any exercise equipment, should have one of these!

I had back pain for years, saw a ad online for a teeter which got me thinking, after researching for two weeks I finally took the gamble and bought one, the first time I used it I was on it for less than 3 minutes, felt a instant relief, i couldn’t believe it, I wish I had one of these years ago!

[broinsocali]

I got my table about 2 yrs ago. I use it everyday. I spend about 5 to 8 mins on it. But I make the time to get on it. Days I'm off work I get on it 3 times a day. It took me a month to go full inversion. I never felt better. So happy I have this table.

[tomhinklejr.]

I have mine for 12 years now! This was definitely the best video I've watched explaining how to use it, and how often to use it. Unfortunately, I took mine for granted, and started having back pain again, but at least I have it too use. I had a good amount of people from work come over to use it, and now they have one too. It definitely helps!

[thetoolmat]

i just got one, and yes it was unbelievable, i just shake my head thinking about how it worked on my back. slow and methodical is the way to go. and it folds standing up very well.

I was facing major back surgery for a herniated disc. I purchased the top Teeter brand two years ago, and avoided surgery. My orthopedic surgeon could not believe the results after viewing the MRI. I love it!

[KoKo-eqtr]

I've been on Teeter well over 20 years. Definitely works. Use it everyday & you won't have back problems IMO.

I recently got an inversion table, today actually and I did about a 2-2.5min session not at 90 degrees but a step or two below that. It felt amazing, then yes I admit I felt a bit of soreness. I am glad I watched this video because it helped me learn what I needed to know, which was the duration, frequency, and a bit more on the overall feelings from the first time using it.

I've had a severe back injury since January 22nd of this year, It got so bad that I was using a cane to walk with. My grandaughter and her boyfriend brought his and gave it to me. It was painful to start with but after using it for 2 weeks I could feel the difference in my back. I have been back to work since April and I have a few twinges at work, but when I get home its back on the table. I just wished that I had heard about the inversion tables years ago. I forgot to mention that I am almost 60 years old and I love it.
