Detailed review, love it!
So happy I bought it! I have stiff nonflexible vertebrae in my back and neck. I have been doing decompression for months and I think it's helped, but it's $$. I asked one doctor and two chiropractors what they thought of tilt tables. All of them like them and had the same advice. Don't tilt too far in the beginning or advance your tilt too quickly. Start at the lowest setting for 10 minutes two times a day for at least two weeks for upwards of a month then repeat at the next setting. As soon as you get relief at a setting you can stay there. ( they all knew of people who were hospitalized or did permanent damage by inverting themselves at a steep angle without working up to it. They didn't let their body get used to the inversion process. ) This seemed like good advice. They also mentioned getting a table that has very good foot support so that you do not have to wear shoes and your feet won't hurt.
I read reviews for different tables and talked to my friends. Everyone pretty much said that extra features were worthless unless it was a very specific reason for having the special feature.
I saw this table and read the reviews. Since it cost less than two decompression visits it certainly would pay for itself very quickly. It came in a large heavy box. One evening while I was making dinner my 13-year-old daughter put the whole thing together with zero help. The directions must be good. My husband tightened down every single bolt. We played with the different height and foot settings and discovered that myself at 5 foot 7 and 135 pounds needed the same setting as my husband at 6 foot 1 and 230 pounds. The key is to make the height setting so that your weight is balanced on the frame so it is very easy to go up and down gently. It just depends where your bodyweight is on your body.
I like the adjustable headrest which was not a feature I saw on the product photos. I like how soft and padded the foot parts are. It is very easy to use without shoes and gentle on my feet.
I do believe that the height adjustment should be adjusted for each different angle setting that you do. This way you go up and down gently. I have not done the full inversion. I do not feel that I need to. The table gives a good stretch at all the angles, even the lowest. Personally I have found that between 10 and 20 minutes on the table depending upon how stiff I feel works great every single day.
I've added some photos too, including it fully inverted with the adjuster pin pulled out. Normally the stop is 85 degrees
