HOMCOM Gravity Inversion Table w/Safety Belt Adjustable Hand Stand Home Back Stretcher Machine For Muscle Pain Relief

Ive suffered for years with my back.Im hyper mobile and also have herniated discs in my lower back, so when i go to a chiropractor they find it exceptionally difficult to click and strech my body, esspecially my spine.Using this contraption for 5 mins in the morning and 5 at night has helped my back strech out and finally click especially my lower lumbar area.I would advise you use this equiptment with someone around.I would advise that you tighten the straps and also wear tight clothes to help with the fixture of the straps.When turning upside down do it gently with someone helping you especially if you have majoylr back issues as the turning handle is hard to control when you have pain.

Pretty easy to assemble despite the instructions best efforts.. And folds down.. Yes it does, but you end up with something wider than a door and a tad taller.Now for the awkward bit.. I'm 6'2 (188ish cm), and top heavy.. To get the table set so I can control the inversion and get up again, I had to put it on the last hole.. So that left no way of putting the safety pin back on.. 5mins and a drill sorted it. I'm also a little over the 'max weight' but no issues as yet.Once it's set to your height it's fab. I got it to help with back pain. Definitely helping.So yep, it's not expensive for what it is, I got my 15yr old to build it (cash incentive) and she tested it out.If you're a little taller it needs a little fettle, but for the cost of a bigger one with a bigger weight limit.. I reckon a couple of kg should be OK. (so far)

I was unsure if hanging upside down would help my lower back aches and pains but it does help me. This sturdy well made equipment which wasn’t that expensive is easy to use for me by myself, l do help my wife when she has a go. My daughter could not get used to it, so not for everyone.

It is great and I'm sure it would work well... only problem was I found out I really didn't like being upside down - in any fashion whether a small amount or fully. It was sat in my hallway boxed up for just under a month so I could make space. Then husband made it up and ripped the box and put it in recycling. Unfortunately this meant I couldn't send it back. So I gave it to my local GP's surgery for them to use it on patients it would work for during their physical therapy, this way it would be used.So I cannot fault it, it just didn't work for me but will work for others now instead. My advice - open it quickly and check you like it without breaking the box.

Once assembled, it works fine, but as many here have already mentioned, the instructions are a bit lacking. If you are used to assembling Ikea furniture (or Lego) then it's easy to put together. I was left with 1 short pin that was never reference in the assembley instructions, but does show up on the parts list. There are no instructions on how to use the ankle brace nor how, in my case, to actually get it to move. As it turns out, there is a bolt that I needed to loosen so I could adjust it to get my feet into it. Similarly (although it's easy to work out) there are no instructions on how to operate the foot brace. As for the flat bar at the bottom which you have to stand on initially, it feels very weak, and I'm not at all confident it could support all of my weight unless I place my foot right beside the central bar. If I were to stand on the edge of the plate/foot bar, I'm sure it will break as it flexes quite a fit. (I'm only 81Kg)Again, you could probably work it out for yourself, but the placement of the bar that restricts how far you can invert yourself isn't well explained in the instructions. This serves like a doorstop to hold the table in the desired end point. It does say that you should have someone with you during your first few goes at it, but a few tips on how to return to vertical would be useful for some people. I found that I have to do a sit-up before pulling myself up using the handles. Bear in mind you will be upside down so your movement will feel weird.When inverted, especially at 180 degrees, the pressure on your ankles can be uncomfortable. I loosened to ankle brace slightly, which may make some people feel less secure.It folds away like a folding ladder, althouth the adjusting bar for your ankles sticks out perfectly at shin height, so I unscrewed the central bar to avoid inevitably tripping over it. I'd recommend buying a large suitcase luggage strap to wrap around the table for ease of movement when folded, as there's no way to secure the legs in that position, which will make moving it a pain in the ass. It's also heavy and awkward enough to move for one person, unless you want your walls bashed.So, does it actually work..? Well, after a couple of goes it's far too soon to tell. I can feel a bit of a stretch in my back and hips, but like all such 'therapies' it takes repeated treatments over time to be able to say if it is worth spending the money on the table. I did buy a set of 'Gravity boots' (Hooks for your ankles) and hanging freely upside down using them feels a lot more effective.

The build quality is good. It wasn't difficult to build. Whether it helps my back I won't know until I've used it regularly for several weeks. It certainly helped my sinus to drain. It feels a little unusual to tip completely upside down, but the table is perfectly stable and safe and I'm nearly 6 feet tall and about 87kg.

It was a little challenging to put together with just one person, but manageable.I am glad I bought this. I have the space to have it up and I use it almost everyday at the 180 position for a few minutes at a time. You can use it in other positions. I have an elastic band helping the bar to stay in place more firmly when using the bar which stops the tilt going to far.For me it helps elongate my back, safely and quickly. Also helps with relaxing or to look at the world, problem in a different way.I am very glad I took the plunge and bought it.
