When considering which inversion table to use my first thought was safety, that is my major concern about hanging upside down by my ankles. I have heard stories of them breaking while people were using them and this just didn't bare thinking about. Research into the durability of the inversion table on the market revealed little except for the Teeter Range. Their inversion table is tested by an independent lab, the Underwriters Laboratories, who compared the Teeter range to others in the market. They tested inversion tables from (in alphabetical order): Kettler (Apollo), Life Gear (75112), Life Gear (75128), Motion Fitness (GT1000), Stamina (Inversion Pro 551529), Teeter Hang Ups (F5000), Weslo (System WLBE). Teeter seem to be the only people releasing this information and it is not surprising as their F5000 inversion table is shown to be far stronger and more durable than the others.
Safety for an inversion table is related to the weight it can support (static load test) and the number of times it can invert (cycle test) without structural damage. The results are shown above. In the Static Load Test the Teeter actually surpasses the US medical equipment standard for inversion tables, of four times the max user weight, by 20%. While in the Cycle Test, inverting the manufactures stated max load, they did equally impressively by out lasting their nearest competitor by 38851 cycles, or nearly 50 years! Incredibly and worryingly, one unit had a serious structural failure after the equivalent of 5 months use. It's not just the inconvenience returning the item it's the risk of serious injury that concerns me most. When you get your unit you will understand why it is so durable, the unit screams quality and security.
“My wife suffered from severe sciatica for four months… Finally I purchased your inversion table. In less than one week she was sleeping again and the pain had diminished considerably. Purchasing your inversion table was the best thing we ever did.”

I have lower back pain and sciatica. The honest truth is before I ever inverted… I would have to crawl out of the bed in the morning. The pain was so bad. As long as I invert, there is no signs of pain-
