INNOVA HEALTH AND FITNESS ITM5900 Superior Warmth and Therapeutic massage Inversion Desk, Grey/Black

There’s more than just the Inversion Table
The table is BETTER than just good; but the 5th star is earned for customer support which is superlative. Before I made the purchase several questions were answered within 24 hours. After assembly of the unit the massage pillow worked, but seemed to be turning itself off after about 8 minutes. A replacement was delivered within a week of the time that I enquired as to whether this is considered normal.Some brief background: I am 78 years old, have suffered from chronic back pain for over 20 years, have undergone physical therapy along with a Yoga like daily exercise routine, and most recently had an MRI that revealed age related spinal degeneration affecting my lower back and neck regions. My physician had little to offer. There were days where the pain radiated throughout my back and partially into my left leg. It often restricted in my ability to walk my dogs. Even sitting could be uncomfortable. After considerable research, and despite no conclusive agreement that an Inversion Table is much more than a placebo I decided to try one – – – and to save a few bucks if it turned out worthless I went to the highly rated but less expensive Innova product.Positives:1.The Innova Table is easy to assemble with excellent instructions and videos available; but it does take some time and patience.2. I adapted, quickly and easily to Inversion but I strongly recommend gradual increases in time and incline.3. Balancing on the table is actually fun.4. There has been a very definite improvement in my back pain. I assume it will never totally disappear, but is now reduced to a sort of very tolerable soreness…and I have only been at this for 7 weeks.5. The table fits comfortably under an 8 foot ceiling and take up an acceptable amount of space.The Negatives: (every product has some, and they are minor with this table)1. As noted by others, the “massage” pad is actually a ” heated vibration” pad. I like it, but do not expect it to do everything.2. The table is stable but could be more sturdy. I am certain I will get my money’s worth, but we will have to see how it holds up over the long run.3. I currently use the 30 degree incline, which is what the literature recommends as best for my age group. It works. Some products allow infinite adjustment of the angle. On the Innova I will have to go up to 45 degrees next. It might be advantageous if the design allowed more gradual increases.4. I am on the table 3 times a day, My routine is 2 minutes incline, 2 minutes in a neutral position, 5 repeats.For many people this may take up too much of their day; but it’s been working for me and enforces the reported advice that frequency of incline is more important than duration.Please consider that like most of what else is posted about Inversion Therapy; my advice is purely anecdotal. I truly like the product, love Innova, and can whole heartedly give this endorsement.

Me encantó su precio en el buen fin, salió el costo como si comprara una usada, y la verdad con las 2 semanas que llevo utilizandola a diario he visto una muy ligera mejoría a mis dolencias de espalda baja, vamos a ser más constantes para opinar sobre una mejoría más sintomática. En cuanto a construcción y facilidad de uso esta decente en todos los aspectos, es un producto muy bueno y si están en esta decisión por problemas de espalda, más que recomendable ya que no es tan grande que estorbe pero no tan pequeña que se sienta frágil. Solo el soporte de tobillos es algo incómodo si la utilizan por más de 15 minutos a más de 45 grados, puede ser molesto conforme pasan los minutos. Fuera de esto es recomendable

I’m a first time inversion table user, so I didn’t go with an expensive one. I was very skeptical about the positive effects and upon ordering, figured I’d end up returning the product. NOT happening -WOW! Excellent value for your dollar. I use it approximately 3-4 times a day, for 5 – 10 minutes each time. Last night I was chatting with my daughter on the phone while hanging inverted. I placed a 3-D picture upside down on the floor to look at while using it.You need a 3 x 6 foot area, if you choose to not fold it between uses. It has very comfortable formed padding, has smooth operation, feels very secure and stable, and the heat and massage make a huge difference. I was wondering how it would feel with all the pressure being on your ankles when you’re suspended. Not an issue at all. They state to wear footwear when using it. I did the first time and now hop on with whatever I have on my feet – just socks or even bare feet. I don’t find a difference at all.Four things I will point out. 1- I’m short, so I do raise up on my toes to get the ankle supports on my ankles before I lock in. If not, it grabs my calves and then I slide into position once I’m inverted. I think it’s easier on my ankles to not have the force of repositioning.2 – The ‘massage’ is actually vibrate, and if you have it on maximum intensity on the upper portion, I find it way too loud. I just use the lower back vibrate, and ensure that it is positioned correctly prior to inverting.3 – You can’t find your fulcrum based on the height adjustment. In the instructions it states that will vary based on your weight distribution. I use the 5′ 3″ setting and am actually 4′ 11″ tall – I have wide shoulders so am top heavy. It’s not an issue at all, I just had to try three different settings before I found what worked for me.4 – You need to know yourself for this to be worthwhile. My husband hated the feeling of being locked in and free hanging, even though he started on a slight incline. I was unsure about how I would handle it since I get vertigo. I use it as directed and don’t have any issues. When I’m done hanging, I slowly go up to level for a bit, then very slowly return to an upright position. I felt a bit dizzy the first few times using it, but it passed within seconds. Now I just stay on for those extra seconds and pause to hold a position as I’m uprighting. Just be smart and you shouldn’t have any issues.I have back, hip and knee issues and I feel great each time I get off the table. I haven’t used voltaren or pain medication since using the table regularly. I listen to my body and use it after housework, or out shopping, or after a long walk, or sitting in a vehicle or after exercising. I now do side to side stretching, grasping the table leg to give my sides and back a nice stretch. This table provides me with relief that I never expected.

Mi terapeuta me lo recomendó después de una cirugía de columna, me ayuda mucho a descansar ;).Lo mejor es que puedes colgarte sin salir de casa.
