I have chronic upper back pain and a pinching the nerves in my spine that affect hands and forearms.Once, I had a 2 week spell with sciatica and couldn't walk from lower back.They have never bothered me at the same time.Upper back is my usual problem.Normally, I toss and turned all night with numbness and arthritic pain in hands and forearms.I searched to see if this Teeter Table has helped anyone with upper back problems as most of the praise was about relief of lower back pain.My search only foundanother person with the same question and no answer.
This thing is great.I now have hope.It has helped relief dragging pain and discomfort I have come to know as an all-the-time thing.I thought it might help a little but not this much.WOW! The first night after using it, I slept so deep and my pain and numbness was much relieved.I slept through the night til 5:10 instead of the usual, up every two hours.Still, I developed the pain (pretty strong) by the end of the work day. I went home used it to relax and teeter on.What a great stress reliever it is.I also inverted all the way back this time for a few seconds.Really pulls the weight of your head off the spinal column. I spent a lot of time on it just inverting minimally while my daughter told me about her day.(She loves it too to relieve back ache and stress).
Then I slept well all night with minimal numbness and pain with deeper sleep.Only woke up once in the middle of the night.
2nd night: Slept great, pain much less than day before, and a great day at work with no pain WOW!I just wanted to make sure I told you how great it is because my inclination (no pun intended) would be to invert my happy self off into the sunset.Good night!Buy it it's well worth the money!Oh one more thing.Do watch the dvd on assembling it.That will save you a lot of time putting it together.My daughter and I did it in a reasonable amount of time.It is well made and you feel secure with how well it is put together.Happy inverting! I will try to update if any changes develop.
Product Description
Whether you want to improve your posture, reduce back pain, or simply minimize your daily stress load, the Teeter Hang Ups EP-950 inversion therapy table makes a terrific choice. Inversion therapy works by placing your body in line with the downward force of gravity. In the process, inversion elongates the spine, increases the space between the vertebrae, and relieves the pressure on discs, ligaments, and nerve roots. And less pressure means less back pain, as well as fewer headaches and neck problems. Inversion is ideal for people with persistent spine and muscle aches, in addition to athletes who frequently push their bodies out of whack through repetitive muscle motions, such as runners, weightlifters, skiers, cyclists, and golfers. Studies suggest that inverting yourself a mere 25 degrees for even a few minutes per day can have tremendous positive effects.
Inversion therapy helps you improve your posture and reduce back pain.Never before has an inversion table worked with your body the way an EP series inversion table does. The EP-950--Teeter's top-of-the-line EP inversion table--uses Teeter's patented Flex Technology design to move as you move. By working with your body instead of against it, the table accommodates a greater range of motion than other tables, promoting realignment of the spine and relaxing your muscles. The EP-950 then adds an optimal surface for decompression, with a smooth, light-friction texture that allows the body to slide and achieve a premium stretch. Plus, engineering tests have shown that Teeter inversion tables are the most precisely balanced tables on the market. This allows users to control the lockout more confidently in full inversion.
In addition to its EP-standard features, the EP-950 offers a number of upgrades over other Teeter EP tables. The table's ratchet ankle lock system, for instance, offers an easy-to-reach solution in addition to a triple-lock security feature. The table also includes EZ Stretch handles to help increase traction and enhance your stretching experience. To make your inversion more efficient, the table's EZ Angle tether strap lets you preset your rotation angles at 20, 40, or 60 degrees. This provides an easy guide to where the benefits of inversion begin and are fully realized. Finally, the table includes a new Ankle Comfort Dial that adjusts for smaller or larger feet, allowing you to find a comfortable and secure fit for your ankle clamps.
The table's Flex Technology move as you move to further relax your muscles.Other details include a robust base with A-frame tubing and corner feet; auto-locking hinges, cam locks, and heat-treated steel parts; a de-rattler knob and specialized pivot bearings that ensure a lifetime of squeak- and rattle-free rotation; a scratch-resistant powder coating and a triple-plated chrome finish; and a plastic injection-molded construction with easy-to-clean surfaces. The table also comes with an Advanced Secrets to a Better Back instructional DVD that includes five 10-to-15-minute exercise and stretching classes. The DVD is hosted by Dr. Shawn, and includes such workouts as Good Morning (wakeup and warm up your spine); Strength & Stretch (build your core muscles); Posture Correction (look better and function better); Gym Ball (specialized core-building class), and Inversion Table (to receive the maximum benefits from your inversion table). The only inversion table on the market that can be modified with accessories, the EP-950 folds in just a few seconds to 28 by 66 by 16 inches (W x H x D) for easy storage.
