We
received the Teeter GL9500 inversion table and assembled
it in 20 minutes. Nothing difficult there. We watched
the DVD and it seemed very straightforward. My wife
then used the board, and as she was new, she only
went to a 60 degree inversion for a total
of 4 minutes. The effects felt by the next
morning were GREAT. She feels much better already.
Her back has been so sore that she has had difficulty
getting out of bed and moving, and for the
board to fix it to at least a 90% level is
really something.
Thank you.

I
have only been using the inversion table a couple
of days, inclining to 20 degrees for about 20 minutes
twice a day. Already I am seeing positive results.
The first thing I noticed was I could put on my
shoes in about 30 seconds, it usually takes me about
5 minutes. I was able to bend over and pick up a
piece of paper without holding on to anything for
support. I drive a bus all day and usually my legs
hurt and I need Motrin. Today I went all day without
pain and without taking any drugs.

Thanks for taking time to answer my
questions, you
have a good team and it did impresses me.
Thanks once again.

I
was a lineman for PG & E for 30 years. Every other
day I use the inversion table and the stretch feels
fantastic.
Wayne L. - Key West, FL - March, 2008
I am so grateful to have discovered your site. I
had been coveting an inversion system for over a
decade and fell in love with Hang Ups I had tried
on a showroom floor somewhere. This table is the
epitome of a well-crafted machine: sturdy, strong,
smooth and simple to set up. I can set my F7000
up in about 30 seconds, after I slide it away from
where it leans against the wall. I weigh 118 lbs
and the table weighs 70 lbs, so I tuck the foam
handle under my arm and use the length of the arm
to bring the table against my body to shift it and
add stability along the vertical meridian.
I have no problem moving it smoothly across the
berber carpet, though I have to be mindful to do
it slowly, so leaning doesn't occur. Every time
I set it up, at least once daily, I marvel
at its sound construction. The F7000 is the Mercedes
Benz of Inversion Tables...and I can say that, I
own a classic Mercedes.
In addition to the excellence of this machine, I
was delighted by your attention to me and my order,
your thorough instructions and the completeness
of materials I received. Your excellent pricing
made this long time dream come true for me and I
look forward each day to my blissful "upside
down time."
Thank you again for your excellence in service and
your eye for excellence in products. I would recommend
you and this table to anyone.
Dr. Vivian Ink - December 6, 2007
During
a Brazilian Jujitsu sparing match I herniated
a disc in my neck. I had pain, tingling and
the doctor said if I did not have immediate surgery
I would never regain the strength in my arm. Needless
to say I was quite depressed. I was one week away
from neck surgery when I discovered inversion therapy.
Using the Teeter Hang Ups F7000 inversion table
I was able to avoid surgery.
I am now 100% recovered and play in three softball
leagues in the bay area. It was not only your equipment
but also your advice about how to use the inversion
table for a cervical problem that was crucial to
reversing my cervical disc problem. I feel so grateful
for the amazing results achieved as a result using
the inversion table and learning from the people
at energycenter.com.

One
example of the many testimonials about scoliosis
we have received.
Hi,
The pediatrician who had sent our daughter to
the Scottish Rite hospital becasue she had a bit
of a curvature in her spine, saw her for his referral
last week. He was amazed at how straight her back
was and asked her how she did it. She said that
when she started using the inversion table, that
in just a few months her shoulders were level
and she had no more trouble will ill-fitting clothes
due to one shoulder lower than the other - great,
huh!?
Martha Ylitalo - 4-15-04
Hello
Energy Center,
I recently purchased and received the F7000 Teeter
Inversion Table, awesome
product by the way, back
pain has diminished greatly with just minutes
a day!!!
Laura S. - Gurnee, Illinois - January 17,2008
Hello,
I just want to say that I've
been using the F7000 for a couple days now and I
can feel the difference already in my back.
I ordered the Gravity boots with the F7000 with
some uncertainty of whether I would need them, but
I'm very glad I did now. With the standard ankle
locking mechanism on the F7000 set as recommended
on my ankles, after several minutes being inverted
my feet seemed to be lacking in circulation, which
was immediately relieved when standing upright again,
when the ankle mechanism released its pressure.
I think that while inverted, the standard ankle
locking device placed enough pressure on the arteries
in my lower ankle/upper foot to impede circulation.
So then I broke out the Gravity Boots and made the
modification to the F7000 to accommodate the CV
bar over which the boots hook while inverted. The
gravity boots made a big difference. I'm having
no more issues with impeded circulation and they
are just very comfortable while hanging. I
only do a 40 degree inversion so far, but it helps
very much. I'm not sure if I will ever want
to do a total inversion since its not really necessary
to obtain the full benefit out of the inversion
table. One minor problem I did call customer service
about was the fact that the rectangular metal projection
on the center of the cross bar on which the sliding
main shaft rests was missing the plug that prevents
the main shaft from banging on the metal of the
cross bar. The customer service rep told me she
is sending out a plug to me. Until then I placed
some protective felt to eliminate the metal to metal
contact. Just a minor quality control issue it seems.
Everything else seems to be of excellent quality.
I was very impressed with the speed of delivery
also. The complementary LED flashlight also is quite
nice to have. So this is my impression so far of
the Teeter F7000.
Sincerely,
Terry N. - 1-03-2008 - Wisconsin - www.photostuff.org
Greetings!
Just want you to know that we absolutely LOVE our
Teeter GL9500!
Couldn't be more pleased with it.
Victoria L. - 1-06-2008 - Florida
Thank
you for the great service. If you were an e-Bay
store I would give positive feedback!!
Alan R. - Maryland - 12-20-07
We've
only been using our inversion table for a few days
and love it. After about four days of inversion,
I had to lower my car seat a bit because my head
had gotten too close to the roof of the car!
I shoveled snow the other day and had the least
pain doing this task in 25 years. I just
wish I had the machine at my office so I could do
a couple of stretches during the day!
It was also a pleasure dealing with you and your
company. Your pricing was fair, your deliver exceptionally
prompt, and all the information you offered gave
us a running (or lying?) start on using the machine
correctly and effectively. I'd recommend you
to anyone.
Tad Gage - 12-17-2007
I'm 80 years old and in good health. Since I started
using the Hang Ups F7000 inversion table my energy
has increased dramatically. I have a feeling it
has to do with stretching the spine. I
haven't felt this good in ages. I've been
using the inversion table for over a month now.
It is great to feel peppy again.
Virginia Bradley - Gold Beach Oregon - October 23,
2007
I
purchased my inversion table at the Health and Wellness
Fair in Seattle, WA. My massage therapist recommended
I give it a try after a series of treatments with
massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, epidural spinal
injections and physical therapy. I received some
relief from these therapies although I was still
in a lot of pain and discomfort. I have been consistent
in my use of the inversion table and it has brought
me much needed relief.
Thank
you so much,
Karen
Johnson - October 12, 2007
P.S. I also share my table with my family. My daughter
is a certified personal trainer and two sons one
of whom is a state champion wrestler. He fractured
his disc l-5 in three places and broke a femur bone
last year and he has received relief and good stretching
from the inversion table as well.
I
am now 85 years old, retired from general surgery.
Have been using Hang Ups inversion machines with gravity
boots for over 10 years. Most days I do sessions that include a lot of exercise.
I am amazed at the amount of upper body and abdominal
musculature I have developed after the age of 70, more
than I ever had before, and I remain in good physical
and mental health.
Thank you,
Harry Segal - Sydney, Australia - Feburary 2, 2006
The
idea of elevating aching feet is not a novel one to
me, but with the inversion table it takes on a whole
new meaning; I can LITERALLY feel the pains and aches
melting away. The inverted position relieves stress
from my "compressed" joints and back and improves
circulation in my feet (they used to be cold all the
time - a classic sign of poor circulation). The first
time I used it was the first time in a LONG time that
I had a full night sleep, after stretching myself for
just a half an hour on the inversion table. I woke up
rested and I had NO stiff muscles or joints. Heck, I
didn't even need coffee and aspirin that morning!!!
In closing, I think the inversion table is a health
savior. I strongly urge everyone to buy one.
M. Franczuk, London, Ont.
I
have had serious back problems for forty years and was
unaware of inversion tables until recently. Only two
weeks ago, I thought I was going
to be disabled, because I could hardly stand
and because sitting only made the back pain worse. Now
I feel almost normal. The inversion table makes
me feel much better.
Thank you very much,
Eric Weinberger - 12-05-2006
Dear
Sir,
I just can't tell you how much we LOVE
our inversion table. My husband is in the military and
often spends many days with 80-100 pounds of gear on
his back while training and loves to come home and relieve
a lot of physical stress on the table. I myself have
had back problems for 17 years
with crushed discs - had surgery last year and I LOVE
the relief I get from the table. I am currently
using it in conjunction with an orthopedic surgeon -
he is a bit old school and doesn't quite understand
the benefits I get from the table. I had tingling and
numbing also in my chest skin and in my fingers...it
has since disappeared. Not to mention the flexibility
increased in my entire spine. Often times I can have
a good stretch and don't need the muscle relaxants -
it's good for strengthening the ab muscles while I am
on the table. I want you to know that I feel completely
confident that we made the best choice in choosing this
table over the competitors. The ankle clamps are extremely
comfortable and the structural integrity of the table
is light, convenient and comfortable while making the
bed feel sturdy and the balance is great. I can't say
enough about how great it is. I am a stay home mom and
use it everyday several times. Pass the good word along
that you have a great quality product and it was a pleasure
doing business with you.
Sincerely,
Kim Helwigs - July 4, 2001
P.S. Feel free to use this as a true testimonial.
My
mother has a slant board and gets on it every day. She
is in her late 70's and is the picture of health. There
must be something to this inversion therapy.
You have my permission to use my testimonial
anywhere and anytime! I am very pleased also with the
friendliness and customer service you have shown. I
ordered my Hang Ups Inversion table on Wed., and have
just received it Friday only two later.
Thanks for everything.
Toby Thomas - October 12, 2005
Hello,
I have been meaning to write to you for a long time
to tell you how pleased I am with the results of using
the inversion table. At the age of 71 doctors wanted
to do a triple laminectomy on my spine. The surgery
was to be on L2,3 and 4. I was told the healing process
after the surgery would take about six months. I went
to another doctor and his opinion was that I would never
walk again if I had the surgery. I was in intense pain
at the time rated at 10+.
After being advised to try an inversion table I called
your company and was very pleased with our conservation.
I received the table in December of 2002 and have been
using it on a regular basis since. I am very happy with
the results. I still have some pain but it is quite
tolerable compared with the suffering I was going through
before I started inversion therapy.
Thank you for your excellent product and your assistance.
Roberta Schauman - June 6, 2005
Hi,
We have our table and was so surprised how fast it got
here. Want to THANK YOU SO MUCH. My
husband is doing better already!!! I have always
enjoyed the one I use to have years ago. So it is great
to have a new one. I sure will tell everyone about you.
And your friendly service!!!
Sincerely,
Judie and Dave H.
Hi,
I'm just writing to say how completely
happy I am that I bought your F5000 Inversion Table.
I was having severe problems with my back. A trip to
the Dr. and ultimately an MRI revealed I had severe
calcium deposits (from arthritis) built up around my
sciatic nerve. This resulted in my having to walk
bent over just to slightly reduce the severe pain
I was experiencing starting at the buttocks and going
all the way down to my ankles. I was really depressed
when my orthopedic Dr. was recommending I see a spinal
surgeon. After having surgery for both 2 hips and 2
knee replacements I was not exactly
enthused about the prospect of back surgery.
I told the Dr. I wasn't ready for that option just yet
cause my wife had seen an article
on Inversion Tables and how they can help people with
herniated discs and sciatic problems. I was skeptical
but when I saw your free trial offer, I figured what
have I got to lose, so I bought the F5000 Inversion
Table. At first I didn't think it helped, however after
just 2 weeks use I could walk upright again and have
very little to no pain any longer. Don't know
how long this table will help me, but each day I can
put off back surgery I'm thankful for.
Feel free to use this testimonial.
I'm thankful I listened to my wife
and decided to try this table.
John A. Tisevich - August 3, 2003
P.S.
Also those free bongers are great when I have tightness
in my upper back. My wife "bongs" me for about
10 minutes and that helps to loosen up the back muscles.
Thanks again.
Hi,
I wanted to let you know that I have had marvelous benefits
in the short time of only two weeks I have been using
the inversion table. I purchased it for my low back
pain which now feels much much better. However, I was
very surprised when what we thought was a rotator
cuff injury that might require surgery was also
benefited by using the table. It must have been a pinched
nerve that was relived by the inversion therapy. I am
very happy to say I am back to
an active life & golfing 4-5 days a week.
Thank you!
Scott P. July 15, 2003
Hi,
I don't know if you remember me but, I purchased a F5000
table and boots. We talked on the phone for quite a
while and I told you that I would give you a testimonial
if it worked. WELL IT DID!!!! IT
WORKS!!!! It just makes too much sense
not to work. I could hardly function
everyday was painful, my sciatic
pain was crippling. After 2 weeks I
felt wonderful, so I helped a friend to move
who is aware of my past back problems and surgery, I
did not do much or pick up anything of weight. The next
day I hurt very bad, so I continued "hanging"
and after a week I was much better. After
2 months now, I feel better than I ever did after my
back surgery. I now believe that had I had this inversion
table I would have never needed back surgery.
The rocking motion seems to work best for me.
If you want me tell anyone about my experience
have them contact me.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Chris M. -

Dear
Sir,
I would like to tell you how pleased I am with the results
I have received since purchasing the gravity table from
you. As we discussed on the phone I have been on permanent
disability from my job at Federal Express. Due
to the compressed nerves in my back and neck the doctors
told me I would never be able to go back to work. The
pain and tingling in my arm and
hand have been debilitating for nearly two years.
I appreciate your advice about checking with my doctor
and starting out at a very mild angle. I also appreciate
your return policy which allowed me to feel secure in
knowing if I did not benefit from the table I could
return it. I have excellent news
to share with you. After using the table for
three weeks I will be starting
work again on Monday. The pain and tingling is
nearly completely gone and even though I started to
receive benefits within two days of using the table
I did not think the inversion therapy would help me
so much and allow me to return to a normal life again.
I have still not even gone to more than 30 degrees.
Besides the reduction of my pain I love the stress reducing
& relaxing effect it has on me.
My sincere thanks and appreciation,
Barbara D.
Dear
Sir,
Ten years ago my brother had spinal
fusion surgery. He did receive some reduction
of pain but within a year his back problem was worse
than before the surgery. He purchased a table from your
store in Los Angeles. Recently I also was advised to
have spinal fusion surgery. I visited my brother and
took his advice and tried his Backswing. He told me
he wished he had not had his surgery and had discovered
the Backswing many years ago. I tried his table and
decided to purchase one for myself. That was six months
ago and I must say I do not believe I will require spinal
fusion surgery and am extremely happy with the results
I have achieved. I appreciate you assisting my brother
and I to live a more pain free life.
John R.

Hanging a few minutes everyday made my back stronger
and eventually all the pain disappeared!
My back became stronger than it had ever been. I began
exercising, including walking and jogging, with no back
strains resulting. Today I am 55 years old, my posture
is good, and I am healed. The daily inversion stimulated
postural and circulatory changes in my body. Better
posture was practiced, (standing straighter with thighs
tightened and shoulders back). This caused my abdomen
to flatten out- no sit-ups or crunches. Other physical
changes occurred: My complexion improved and wrinkles
and fleshy parts of my face and neck diminished!"
When inversion is coupled with posture and toning exercises,
internal organs assume their proper position. For example,
from left to right, the spleen, stomach, pancreas, liver,
and gall bladder are supposed to rest just under the
diaphragm and "move" with every breath. When
organs are not in their best physiological position,
these membranes are compromised, effecting nerve and
blood flow.
Dr.
Robert Bouvier, MD
We have found significant improvement using various
inversion techniques which needs further exploration.
However, we are very excited about the results thus
far. After two weeks on the inversion table on a daily
basis urinary incontinence disappeared
in two female patients. We have used the inversion
table on chronic bronchitis
as well as asthmatics.
Dr.
John Huber, D.C.
I have been using your inversion products in my chiropractic
office for the past 14 years. Your
inversion equipment is the best on the market,
and my patients have benefited greatly from their inversion
therapy.
Victor

After using Hang Ups Inversion Equipment , I have noticed
an amazing change in my flexibility, after only a few
weeks of use. My golf game is much
improved due to greater shoulder mobility. I
whole-heartedly attest to the benefits of this product.
Christopher
Peterson
With the F5000III I noticed a remarkable improvement
in my posture and my walk. Before using the inversion
table I had muscle spasms and back problems.
Clara
Smith
Inverting daily keeps my body stretched, relaxed, symmetrical.
The adult acne that I've had since the age of 29 has
nearly disappeared. The cold hands and feet that I have
experienced for years has disappeared.
Nancy
Smith
In 1982 I started inverting. I was 52 years
old then, and over the years I managed to change just
about everything; everything from a badly misaligned
hip, feet with corns and a walk with a limp to bad tarter
on my teeth. Yes, it changed that too!
John
Matalamaki, motorcycle racer.
As a long time motorcycle racer with a chronic bad back,
I've been very impressed with pain relief I've gotten
with the daily use of Hang Ups Inversion Table. It is
the best rehabilitation and maintenance
device I have ever used.
Donald
Myrah, mountain bike racer.
In the past I have often had problems with my lower
back tightening on training rides and during races.
After using your the Hang Ups Inversion Table, I
do not have the problem with my lower back tightening
as before.
Rick
Maisel, Active Athlete
I have found that 100 upside down
sit-ups are equal to 1000 regular sit-ups (with
less strain on the back).
Mike
Sandber, Skydiver
Getting inverted relieves and relaxes not only my joints
and vertebrae but lets my organs and blood flow more
naturally. Being inverted at least
30 minutes a day improves my performance capability
by stimulating my vestibular system and allows decompression
of my spine to occur.
Jim
Whitesel, Seattle Seahawks Football
Team Trainer
Professional football places a great deal of stress
to the lumbar sacral area of the spine. Inversion
assisted stretching is quite beneficial.
Dr.
W G W, Chief Department of Surgery
I would like to report to you that I
have had extraordinary success in patients using inversion.
Its essential value is the ability of the patient to
prevent the onset of a more irreversible symptom complex
by having the device available.
Derek

From its simplicity and durability, the expertise put
into the design of Hang Ups is manifest. I can say in
all honesty that your product has
markedly improved the quality of my life.
Patricia

I'm enjoying your very well-made machine. After working
out I reward myself with lying
on the inversion table for a few minutes.
Brenda

When our Inversion table arrived, we were blown away
by the obvious quality. This is a well-built piece of
equipment. We recommend the inversion table to anyone
who will listen. We wouldn't want
to be without it every again. All in all, buying
and using the table has been a positive experience.
Thank you.

Chris

I really have a hard time expressing in words how happy
I am that you have engineered your products in the way
that you have. Right now, I will settle for thank you,
thank you, thank you.
Dear
Abraham,
I have been using my inversion table for the last 3
weeks. On the first day I started at a 30 degree angle.
I have now moved on to a 60 degree angle. I
feel great!
Let me tell you a little about my health. I
suffered 2 herniated discs in my neck from an auto accident
about 6 years ago. When it rains and it is damp
or during the winter months, I constantly feel pain.
I refuse to take any type of mind altering medication
or any oral medication at all. I am only able to use
the table during to weekend for I am away from home
during the week. I use it at least 3 days a week once
or twice a day.
Here's the good part. When
I received the table I set it up as per the instructions.
I set it up for a 30 degree angle. I stayed on the table
for twenty minutes. I relaxed and then did minor movement.
I did feel my back sort of liked crack. As though when
you stretch and your bones crack. I find that normal.
I moved my neck around and that also cracked. I was
scared at first. But I began to feel a relief. When
I got off of the table I felt a little dizzy but that
is normal and I was not alarmed at all. After moving
around I felt so good.
More good news coming. I
used the table that one day (Tuesday) and I would not
be able to use it until Friday. Well we had a lot of
rain those next few days and I did not feel any pain
at all. I just felt great.
I only used it ONE DAY and it lasted until that Friday
when I got home from work. And do you know, the first
thing I did when I got home was spend 20 minutes on
my table. It is now a ritual for me when I come home
from work. TABLE FIRST-FOOD SECOND.
(hehe)
My wife also suffered a herniated disc on her lower
back. She wouldn't go on the table. But after 3 weeks
of just a few days therapy she is very convinced about
what it has done for me. She sees it now because I
don't complain of the pain anymore. She is starting
a therapy secession for herself every day at 30 degrees.
In closing I would just like to say, "THANK YOU."
And jokingly I told my wife, if ever lost everything
I own in my life. The first thing I would invest in
is another table.
Thanks again,
Bob Diaz (11-9-02)

I think the STL inversion equipment is an invaluable
tool in back rehabilitation. My physician recommended
the use of your inversion table three times daily
as part of an active course of physical therapy I
noticed results almost immediately. My
back injuries have almost completely healed.
