Hi I'm Rylie Teeter and I'm gonna be walking you through what to look for
when shopping for an inversion table. I'm gonna break it into three different
sections, the first being quality because really it is the most important factor.
The second is features that are gonna help you get the best benefits out of
your product and the third is the ongoing support that you're gonna get
once you have the product in your home. So let's talk about quality. First and
foremost, is the product UL Safety Certified? And let me tell you just
getting the certification once is not enough. You need to look on the table for
the actual label to be adhered. Now if it does not have the sticker on the table
that means that they tested once and passed but they might have been changed
the material and composition of the table and they're not maintaining the
standard and therefore won't have the label. So we maintain the standard, they
come in and do surprise inspections four times a year at the factory to make sure
that the quality is always at the tip-top.
So after quality of course we're looking for benefits. We're trying to get the
best results possible. So what features are on the table to
help you get the best benefits? Let's look at decompression. Does it have a
good decompressive surface? Now I warn you against upholstered beds because
while foam is more comfortable, your body sinks in. It stops decompression and
decompression is how you relieve the pain. You need to stretch, elongate and
allow each of the joints to open up so that you can: Rehydrate the discs, you can
take pressure off of nerve roots, realign the spine and get the relief you're
looking for. So we have this firm yet pliable decompressive surfaces, it's up
on eight points of floating suspension so it maintains comfort plus it has this
cool track on it that allows you to use different accessories. These are our
Acupressure Nodes, you get eight of them. There's four
different heights and you get two of each. Line them up with that tight, sore
muscle that needs that pressure point relief. There's also a Lumbar Bridge, this
can be put anywhere on the table. I always recommend to put it down lower so
that it aligns with your hips. This is gonna help square the foundation of your
spine and also really target decompression in the lower lumbar. So if
your pain is down in your lower back, this type of additional support is going
to help you get that further decompression in the area to help
deliver faster and better results. Another thing to look for is, especially
if you don't want to go deep into inversion, is how you can add more
decompression at shallower angles. Typically the greater the angle, the
greater the stretch but with things like the Traction Handles you can reach up
and add manual traction at any angle. We also have these Grip-and-Stretch hand
holds on the table bed as well as on the frame. They give you a spot to grab hold
and pull and push your body to help get that great realignment benefit. Another
thing you want to look at is specifically the ankles. They are what is
holding you up and again you want that UL Safety Certification to know
that this is something that's been tested but also just take a good visual
look at the ankle assembly. An important factor to look for is does it wrap
around the ankles when closed? We want to avoid the ability to kick out from the
side of the unit so if it just has foam rollers that's
not a good option. Now what we do is we have firm outer backing that gives you
security and then on the inside we use a special pressure-reducing foam.
Another thing to look for, and this is going to help make sure you get the
right balance point, is an ankle comfort adjustment here. So ours rotates up and
down and this is important because in a lot of households there's somebody with bigger
feet and somebody with smaller feet and being able to adjust it and make sure
that you are getting the ankles to close at the smallest part of the ankle
instead of being down low and allowing the body to slide or clamp up too high.
So that's going to give you more comfort and more control over the table. From
here you're really looking for little conveniences like the ability to not
bend over as far. So you can just step in and this is our EZ-Reach feature. You
pull it closed. Now our particular one here has a double lock system. Now
specifically what that means in our product is it not only uses the teeth
which engage at multiple points but it also has a gravity-fed system so that
when you rotate into inversion a secondary clasp clicks over to give you
an additional layer of security. You can see here that one of the big important
features to look for is control. As you are on the product, you want to know that
you have complete control over the angle of rotation and the speed of rotation. So
you can see I'm very precisely balanced and it can use just the weight
of my arms to control the rotation. Look for features like the large handles here
that allow you to walk yourself into an out of inversion like training wheels on
a bicycle. Other things to look for, and especially if you don't have a lot of
space is the ability of the product to fold up. Ours rotates opposite from use and simply close it. From here it's ready to
go in just a few seconds. Rotate it and find your height. Another thing to
consider is assembly. If you have back pain, sitting on the ground with a bunch
of parts certainly isn't something you want to be doing. Ours is 85%
preassembled and we include all the tools that you need and we provide an
app that's going to guide you through in 3D images the process that you need to
do. We also have online video portals that allow you to look at how to use it,
how do I get that precision balancing, how do i target specifically sciatica,
all sorts of different things that are going to help you get the best results
and the confidence and use of the product. We also have our own coaching
team here. Our U.S.-based support is right here in our main headquarters and we're
here to help you whenever you need it. So I encourage you go out there, try
inversion, see the difference that it can make in your life and I hope I've helped
guide you in finding the best product for you.
