Additional tips for new inversion table users:
1. Don't use immediately after eating or drinking, especially if going more heals over head.
2. The height gauge is largely suggestive. If you are torso heavy, start 3" longer. (If you start to short, you may have dificulty coming back to the upright position) You should be able to invert by slowly raising your hands and extending them out SLOWLY over your head, and return to upright by lowering your arms parallel to torso. When you can do this, you have the balance set correctly for your body type. [Example: I'm 6'3", long legs, short (light) torso. My balance point is 6'0"]
3. If a first time user, you should have someone present to assist.
I'm not a Dr., only a frequent user. Hope this helps! Stretch well and relax!

That inversion table saved me from the sciatica hell pain that i had.

HELPFUL HINT: I talked to my primary care physician about this product. He is in favor of using them and he had a bit of advice. Most people cant handle being inverted for very long because of the blood rushing to the head thing and becoming uncomfortable. His advice is to pull in very deep slow breaths while inverted. This gives your lungs and body plenty of oxygen, which defeats that out of breath feeling.

These inversion tables are worth their weight in gold, I had a bad lower back went to the chiropractor for years and never fix my back, bought an inversion table and fix my back within a month or so, and if I fill it acting up I get right back on for maintenance, highly recommend

FANTASTIC video. I found you when checking out reviews for this table. This was informative and well done. Looking forward to more of ya'lls videos!

[jom]

You do a great job explaining things thoroughly. Thank you for helping us!

Wonderful video Sir! Since discovering your guidance for Sciatica pain, ihave been doing my focused Butt crunches & lower Ab flexing, bridge flexing trying to stabilize my pelvic cradle. Actually purchasing this model tomorrow on your recommendation over the over priced teeeeter table. Looking forward to the massage & heat too... 62yr old in Sciatica pain for two years now with mild L4 L5 deteriorating disks... Willl post a follow up in a few weeks. M.

I always enjoy your videos! I have the same model Innova table. I could never get the massage pad situated to be comfortable. Once I ditched that part, I really found the table to be quite comfortable. Maybe splitting hairs but I think there is a real difference between massage and the simple vibration the Innova pad offers.

Nice review. Innova has some better features than my over-priced teeter. It's great to have home equipment to do varied approaches / methods of pt.

WARNING! Before using any kind of inversion device, check with your ophthalmologist to be certain you don’t have any level of glaucoma. Inversion devices raise interocular pressure, which can lead to blindness. Glaucoma patients need to keep their heads above their hearts at all times. That means no downward dog or other yoga poses that have the head below the heart, also. There is now such a thing as “Glaucoma Yoga.” Sleep on a wedge pillow.
Glad to see he mentioned this.

Great Video, I have this EXACT inversion table. The message feature turns off at 15mins, which is OK because I don't think it is good to use this for more than 15mins. Also, the MANUAL option directs and focuses the message on one area as opposed to moving up and down your GREAT MACHINE!

[khanwu]

[darlenegentry]

Thank you, awesome video on how to use.

[ibiufos]

The table is fantastic I brought 1 because of this video and when I get really bad back pain and have shooting pain down my legs I get on for 3 min and get instant relief best $140 I've spent and delivered to my door.
Thanks for the video.

I just received this inversion table in the mail and I absolutely love it. I have a bulging disc in my upper spine and I have really bad sciatica issues. I’m looking forward to healing my back.

[pcguysoffgridcabin]

I wondered how much this would help with my back pain. I have had 3 surgeries on my lower back. A place I used to exercise at had one and I had my back actually pop while using one.

[sallypeters]

Wow! Great video!! I have an Innova inversion table that I bought on Amazon, but it lacks the heat & massage feature. It was fairly easy to assemble, and the directions were great (but very necessary). I have a lab timer that magnetically attaches to a leg. I set the timer for 3 minutes and invert for sets of 3 minutes but only up to 9 minutes. Inversion works for my back issues. 🙃

[ronnie]

I’ve been using inversion therapy for years and it’s very beneficial that’s for sure!
