How to Select an Inversion Table. Inversion tables are fitness devices that allow users to position their feet?
Inversion tables are fitness devices that allow users to position their feet at a higher elevation than their head. The body can even be suspended fully upside-down on some units. While the health benefits of inversion tables are often debated, some users believe these devices help with back pain and other health issues. To find the best inversion table, consider factors such as price, storage, quality and comfort before making your purchase
Decide if you’d prefer a manual or motorized unit. On a manual table, you must use handles on either side of your body to position the table at the desired angle. These units are not as easy to use as motorized tables, which are adjusted using built-in controls. Because they are less complex, manual units cost less and suffer fewer maintenance problems over time on average.
2
Consider storage requirements. If you’d like the ability to store your inversion table out-of-sight, look for fold-down units that can be easily stowed. Find out the weight of each table to be sure you can move it easily on your own and that you are able to set it up with ease when you want to use it.
3
Compare costs. According to Inversion Tables 101, these units cost between $150 and $600, depending on quality and features. Those just getting started with inversion therapy may want to consider a more affordable model, while experienced users may wish to invest in a higher quality unit.
4
Look for quality. Steel or aluminum frames tend to be more durable than plastic ones. Look for a unit that is strong and sturdy. It should not rock or squeak when you are using it. Check to see if the table has a warranty. Most of the more popular brands offer some form of warranty, while lesser-known companies may not.
5
Check for comfort and fit. Test the table to make sure it has enough padding for comfortable use. Make sure you can get on and off the table smoothly and invert it easily. Check the height and weight capacity to make sure it is sized correctly for your body.
6
Review ankle support options. Some inversion tables have a simple bar that users must wrap their feet around as they invert. Others have adjustable ankle straps that hold you in place automatically. The choice between these two options is largely a matter of personal preference.
7
Think about the desired angle of inversion. Not all inversion tables can be used easily at every angle. Some tables may not invert a full 180 degrees, while others can be hard to hold in place at mid-positions. Check with your doctor or chiropractor to see what angle of inversion you should be aiming for.
