I practised yoga since 1969, but had to stop head/shoulder stands after fracturing vertebrae multiple times starting in the late ‘80s. By 1998, my back pain was chronic so I bought my first inversion table (the expensive competitor). I loved it, my pain disappeared completely w/i a couple of mos., and I continued to invert just for my general health.
In fact, so impressed was I that for years I sold these tables through the wellness centre I owned and received a constant stream of positive feedback re. customers' back pain. Then in 2014, I was diagnosed with late-stage glaucoma, rapidly losing my vision. I had to stop inverting immediately and reluctantly sold my table. My weak vertebrae continued to fracture and back pain became a constant companion again, so severe I could stand up for only a few minutes after 2 fractures in Oct. ‘18. (I don’t use pain medications due to multiple/unpredictable reactions.)
After numerous eye surgeries, to my delight my surgeon deemed it safe for me to invert again. I found that the expensive model I’d owned before had replaced its mesh backing with a very hard surface I found far too painful.
So I took a chance and ordered the much cheaper Innova.
At first, there was a lot of gentle crunching and cracking with the gentle, natural traction as my spine readjusted and decompressed. I like the padded back and the added feature that allows one to choose the max. angle desired and work up to complete inversion. I have been inverting daily now for only 2 weeks (2x/day, the 2nd usually right before bed) and already the pain is diminishing dramatically, my posture is vastly improved, and I optimistically expect to experience freedom from pain again, as in the past.
I am thrilled with and grateful for the Innova inversion table. No fancy “new & improved” bells and whistles – just a simple, solid, very effective and affordable piece of health equipment
