Editorial Product Review:Item Description:Teeter HangUps F5000 III Inversion Table
Amazon.com Item Description:If you're plagued by back pain, stiff joints, or suffer from stress overload, consider the Teeter Hang Ups F5000 inversion table, which helps to counter the effects of too much time spent sitting, standing, or moving repetitively. It's also a great way to add extra crunch to exercises like sit-ups. The F5000 is specially engineered to provide a comfortable and secure inversion experience. The equipment features heat-treated, high quality carbon steel and triple-plated chrome.
The Teeter Hang Ups F5000 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. Additional support can be gained by use of the optional Teeter Hang Ups Gravity Boots.
It's able to lock at full 90 degrees inversion (this is only possible when using the more aggressive roller hinge setting). While at 90 degrees, you can perform inverted sit-ups and squats. The table is self-controlled and can be unlocked with simple arm movements.
Feature Detail: - Removable, washable nylon mat with triple-stitched seams removes easily for cleaning
- Teflon embedded epoxy-coated roller hinges for guaranteed smooth rotation with no squeaks for the life of the table; patented cam locks ensure proper assembly
- Durable, injection-coated rubber hand grips feature an embossed guide to the angles of inversion
- Adjustable tether strap allows you to preset the tether strap for worry-free inversion to any angle
- Heat treated high quality carbon steel used in key structural components for increased strength and durability
- Curved foam ankle clamps offer a unique design that allows for greater comfort and security while inverted
- Self-locking hinges secure the table bed to the A-frame for improved security and portability
- De-rattler knob reduces shaft movement to allow for quiet, shift-free rotation--the only design on the market to structurally engage the main shaft
- Triple-plated chrome main shaft with steel wall thickness at least 20 percent greater than any main shaft on the market. Features embossed height markers in both inches and centimeters for easy adjustment

- Weight capacity: 300 pounds

Does wonders for my back
Got it 1.5 months ago and have loved it. It takes some getting used to, but my lower back feels much better. When I do it routinely, I don't wake up in the morning with back pain! I was a bit nervous about the whole upside-down and am I going to fall and break my neck thing, but I don't have to go to an extreme angle to get a lot of benefit from it.
Even my neck feels a bit better (pinched nerve), though this is not as much much help for that issue as I had hoped.
The trick is making it part of the daily routine. I have it folded up in the bedroom, so it is easy to ignore it until the pain comes back.

Coudn't use it due to WARNINGS about medical conditions
I've heard such wonderful things about the TEETER hang-up. I have a friend who has this same model and loves it. It helped his back tremendously.
It arrived on time, very well made, and a nice DVD for assembly/use.
I purchased it online, put it together, THEN watched the enclosed DVD and read the documentation. I was very disappointed that I fell into a category listed in the WARNINGS as a DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. I have a hiatal hernia and the product documentation specifically stated NOT to use this product. I called my physician and he would not comment on it's safety (or not), only that I do indeed have this condition. : (
NOTE: The list of medical conditions that should NOT use this product is quite extensive.
It would have saved me a bit of time if this full list of exclusions would have been listed on the website for the product (excuse me if they were there and I didn't see/find them).
