Elite Fitness Deluxe Inversion Table --
If you have lower back problems then the Elite Fitness Inversion Table could help you like it did me. I am 72 years old with recurring lower back issues 2 or 3 times a year. My last trip to the Dr. I was given prescriptions for muscle relaxers and told to consult a physical therapist.; Instead, I decided to try an inversion table which arrived 8 days later. After 3 days of use I noticed improvement and after 7 days of use (20 minutes twice a day) I stopped my medication. It worked so well I have now resumed my normal routine, and even though my back is still a little tender this definitely beats 2 or 3 trips a week to a physical therapist. You might also need to wait a short while after each meal before you use it to avoid any reflux. The table took me about an hour to assemble. It might have gone quicker but I had to sit in a chair while putting it together because my back hurt so bad. Fortunately I had a socket wrench which I used and one of the cheap wrenches furnished in the kit to hold the bolt while I turned the head. If you only use the wrenches included it will take you 4 or 5 hours to assemble it. The instruction are clear and the nuts and bolts for each step are packaged separately. The design and assembly of the table is more than adequate. However, the Chinese nuts and bolts are of poor quality steel and you should be careful not to over-tighten them thereby eliminating an unnecessary trip to the hardware store. I also suspect the ankle foam pads may not last much more than a year and will need to be replaced. However, I fully expect this table to last as long as I do. You can spend a lot more for a table that may or may not help you but this table will meet all of your requirements for both a short and long term basis. Bottom line, this is one of the better investments I have made.
I had wanted an inversion table but could never justify the price, until this table was offered by a local sporting goods store for under a hundred bucks. For the price of two or three chiropractic adjustments, I can now stretch out on my own at home. I start my day with five minutes and end my day with ten minutes of inversion therapy. I have never felt better. I am addicted to that amazing snap, crackle, pop as each vertebrae spaces out and the tension just melts away.
BalasHapusI assembled it myself but used a ratchet wrench instead of the wrenches supplied. I had it put together in about 35 minutes. I have been recommending this table to all my family and friends.
Inversion therapy really helps, that's all there is to it. Start slow and work up to whatever is comfortable. This table was easy to assemble. It takes up much less space when folded than many others I looked at. It utilizes a three position "bar stop" to control the angle of inversion. With just three positions I was skeptical about the lack of adjustment, but after using it for a few weeks I don't think it's an issue. The positions seem to be just right. The bar stop is much more secure than the straps which seem to slip. I have read many reviews where people have had to replace straps with chain. I weigh in at 235 lbs and feel very secure using this table. I think a lumbar support would be a good addition. I thought it was a little odd that aside from assembly and adjustment instructions, there were no guidelines included for actual use ! I just reviewed some guidelines from the web.

Got this and the weight limit is 250, it doesnt say that anywhere in the description, so for all of you wondering
BalasHapusI don't have much experience with Inversion tables, but it works, i like it. i rec'd this in a large box - all the pieces were there, so that's good! Took just over an hour to assemble it by myself. Price is right, definitely recommended.
BalasHapusRecentely I saw a commercial on t.v. for a very expensive Inversion Table, and wondered if there were any more out there that I could actually afford with 4 kids at home. I have suffered with disc and back pain for 10 years.
BalasHapusI used to be a Veterinary Nurse and lifted animals all day. I can lift heavy objects now, but my back muscles tighten up and pull my discs out of alignment. It is excruciating and I usually need my husband to "pop my back for me" by lifting me off the ground. Sometimes this works, but usually not. I did some research on the Inversion table and read some doctor's comments. I decided to order the Elite Fitness 9300 table as my mother's day gift and it arrived just in the nick of time. I hurt my back severely 2 days ago and have not had any relief. The box arrived yesterday and my husband and I were able to follow the directions without any difficulty! If you have a Nice socket wrench at home, use that. The small wrench it comes with takes forever. Some IT's out there don't come with instructions or are poorly assembled. It did take us a little over an hour to put it together, but the packaging of parts was organized and alleviated confusion!! I immediately jumped on and enjoyed some "therapy" in 3 minute bursts as soon as we were done~!!
What a difference today! I used a heating pad to soften my back muscles before and after and I can't wait to stretch out this morning!
If you are looking for relief, this is definately a better alternative than drugs or surgery! I love the elite! It does fold up, but not as small as I would have liked. That is something I am willing to live with! The padding is comfy and my ankles didn't hurt near as much as I had anticipated. I love this table and you will too!Elite Fitness IT 9300 Deluxe Inversion Table
I purchased this from Amazon about a year ago. It was easy to assemble. It's very sturdy and can fold up if you need to move it. I have it in my bedroom where I use it everyday. I particularly like the adjustment bar which allows you to position it at a level that is comfortable. I was diagnosed with 3 ruptured discs in my lower back, one very severe. Before using the inversion table I was in physical therapy for 9 months, I walked with a limp from the constant pain and the only time I was out of pain was in a sitting position or lying flat on my stomach.
BalasHapusThe physical therapy wasn't helping. So, as a last resort before considering sugery I bought this table. After about 2-3 months of using the Inversion table 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes at night before going to bed, I am pain free. I can now walk without any discomfort. It has improved my posture and given me my life back. My experience has been so positive that I recommend it to everyone, back pain for not. It is a wonderful tool and I believe if I had been using it prior to my conditon...it may have prevented it.
