Inversion Therapy has become popular as a way to relieve some of the back problems that are caused by decompression of the spine. Using an inversion table like the EP-960 can also help to give the back a greater flexibility and relaxation. Teeter Hang Ups has been making inversion tables since 1981, with the aim of producing the best inversion table available. By using a Teeter Hang Ups table for just a few minutes each day it could be possible to find a temporary relief from back pain, achieve better posture, improve circulation and reduce stress. EZ-Reach Ankle System With Triple-Lock Security EZ-Reach Ankle System with triple-lock security and an extended handle that reduces the need to bend when securing the ankles. Ankle comfort is paramount when inverting. After years-long research, Teeter introduced the patented and very specialized Ergo-Embrace ankle wrap system, which utilizes a special pressure-reducing foam for superior support and comfort. An Ankle Comfort Dial allows you to adjust the foot platform height to customize the grip location for a better, more secure fit. Traction handles EZ Stretch Traction Handles included as standard on the EP-960 offer three uses in one, including added stretching and decompression options, easy oscillation assistance and a simple release option from full inversion. The EP-960 has these larger handles for more control over your rotation than the EP-560. You can go more slowly, or increase and relieve pressure at different angles with each hand. ComforTrak Bed Teeter’s patented bed design is engineered to maximize decompression, the smooth bed surface reduces friction, and flexes to accommodate body movement and add comfort. Grip-and-Stretch Handholds built into the ComforTrak Bed and A-frame allow the user to enhance their stretching and decompression. Rotation Control Stretch Max Handles with embossed inversion angle guide provide an extra-long grip surface to assist new users and enhanced stretching options for more experienced inverters. Pre-set Rotation Control with the adjustable tether allows you to easily pre-determine your maximum angle of inversion or remove for full inversion. The extra control is especially useful when inverting for back pain.
