"I use my inversion table every morning. It's a great way to start the day stretching and relaxing. I have had several people try the table at my home and they love it too feeling better after using it just one time."

I have to admit I was skeptical at first but after trying my teeter hang ups 550 I am now a true believer.

I have had back surgery but still had daily back pains until I got my hang ups. It is with out a doubt the best product I have ever tried for my back pain and it so easy to use...Bottom line here I simply love it!



Teeter Hang Ups EP 550 Inversion Table

For years Teeter has been providing amazing results for thousands and thousands of people suffering from back pain. Teeter is the only company in the WORLD to continuously produce inversion equipment since 1981. Their longevity in the industry is something they are most proud of--"no other company in the world has been making inversion equipment as long as we have." This level of experience is put into every single one of their inversion tables and their equipment has been put through the rigors of static load tests (extreme weight in the fully inverted lock-out position) and cycle tests (to analyze performance with repeated use in a multi-user environment). Over the years they have perfected and producted the top tables in the industry and continue to do so for them many who struggle with back pains - Just as Roger Teeter (founder) did for so many years.
With the most experience in the inversion table industry Teeter's EP 550 offers all the features of the F5000 but with a more flexible seat design - this Top Seller is one truly amazing deal. Its new more comfortable design conforms to the contours of your back accommodating more stretch and allows a greater range of motion. Movement while inverted encourages realignment and relaxes muscles and compared with competing brands engineering tests have shown that Teeter Inversion tables are the most precisely balanced to allow controlled lockout in full inversion.

The EP-550 is the entry-level model for the EP-series line with a spring-lock ankle clamp system new dual-setting foot platform and adjustable head pillow. Teeter Hang Ups EP-550 Inversion Table rotates on a pivot system. With simple arm movements (rotation is accomplished by shifting the weight of the arms) the table easily rotates to any comfortable angle. The smooth rotation allows for oscillation and intermittent traction. Adjustable roller hinges allow you to pre-select three levels to control the aggressiveness of rotation and the tether strap allows you to pre-select the maximum angle of inversion. Comfortable ankle clamps hold you securely while inverting.

You deserve the best - relieve pains improve your posture and alignment reduce your stress and enhance circulation so you can live each day to the fullest! Its designed to maximize convenience for you - its foldable for easy storage and it's durably designed to stay in pristine condition after years of use.

This model is great for all types of users - however if you want to increase versatility and intensify your inversion experience the EP 550 Sport or the EP 950 are great options for you. It includes Gravity Boots Traction Handles and a CV Bar and will provide the ultimate inverting environment.
When you're done the EP 550 is easy to fold away - 28 x 16 x 66 inches. Like all Teeter products the EP 550 meets top-of-the-line safety specifications and is built from triple-plated chrome for durability. Its the inversion experience you wont want to miss!

Health Benefits You Can Experience from Inverting:

Try hanging upside down for just a few moments and you will understand why millions of people around the world use this ancient therapy to relieve back pain reduce stress and improve their quality of life.

Re-hydrate discs: Damaged discs can take a long time to repair since they don't have a direct blood supply. Inverted decompression takes pressure off the discs allowing them to widen and hydrate with nutrients that help expedite repair. The added cushion helps increase shock absorption and flexibility.


Reduce nerve pressure: Inverting on a Teeter has been clinically proven to increase intervertebral separation helping to open up the passageway for nerve roots and alleviating pain caused by pinched nerves. Those who experience sciatic pain can benefit from this aspect of inversion. Less pressure means less pain.


Realign: When the back moves out of alignment from bad posture too much sitting or rotational activities this support structure holds the body in misalignment. In order to decompress the spine needs a traction force of at least 60% of your body weight roughly equivalent to inverting at an angle of 60 degrees on a Teeter. This type of progressive decompression naturally re-aligns the weight-bearing skeleton promoting good posture.

Relax tense muscles: Inverting to as little as 25 degrees for a few minutes can help relax muscles and speed lymph flow. A study conducted by physiotherapist L.G. Nosse found that EMG activity (an indicator of muscle tension) declined over 35% within ten seconds of inverting.

Inversion Helps to Relieve Stress and Fatigue: For centuries yoga practitioners have recognized the concept of turning the body upside down to find relaxation. The head stand position is a form of "postural exchange" (reversing the direction of gravity). While a headstand may not top everyone's list of favorite activities inversion can provide all of the benefits with minimal practice or effort.

Inversion can lower your heart rate through rhythmic rocking on the table: Inversion therapy is an extension of the way a body naturally relaxes. With an inversion table you have the ability to rock slowly up and down. This has been shown to decrease heart rate and can induce a state of relaxation.

Inversion reduces muscle tension by lowering EMG activity (an indicator of muscle tension): Inversion therapy offers an enhanced version of a full body stretch which is rejuvenating and can also help to reduce muscle tension and overall soreness. The Nose study found that EMG activity declined over 35% within ten seconds of inverting which suggests that inversion can help to relieve tension and pain in your muscles that are caused by stress.

Helps Improve Circulation and Accelerates the Cleansing of Blood and Lymph Fluids: Placing the legs above the heart with inversion can help relieve varicose veins. Also The lymph doesn't have a pump like the heart so inversion helps move lactic acid out of limbs.



It Can Improve Your Health And It Will Save You Money!!
"I had one decompresion session at the Chiropractor and it felt great...I wanted to be able to decompress on my own with out paying $300-400 a session. This machine cost about the same as one session and now I own it! I think the machine is wonderful..."

Inversion Helps Increase Oxygen Flow to the Brain: Some claim that increasing the circulation of blood to the head through inversion may also improve the color and tone of your skin stimulate mental alertness and improve hearing vision and hair health/regrowth.

Inversion Helps Reduce the Effects of Aging Caused by the Force of Gravity: As the body ages internal organs (kidneys stomach intestines) begin to prolapse as a result of the constant downward force of gravity. A regular program of inversion may help ease the strain on prolapsed organs or even help them resume their normal shape and place in the body.

Improve Functional Fitness: One-sided activities can be particularly troublesome for two reasons: The body will tend to over compensate for the strong-side muscle groups pulling the spine out of alignment; and one-sided activities usually involve rotation of the spine often under incredible loads. Inversion after physical activity may help to realign the spine and keep athletes performing at higher levels for longer periods of time.
