Product Description
You've seen us on TV, you've heard of your favorite athlete using a Teeter... your neighbor even has one. Now it's your turn to try Teeter Hang Ups®, the inversion market pioneer since 1981. With the passion of someone who has lived through back pain and found relief, Roger Teeter has built Teeter Hang Ups® for superior quality, function and innovation.
Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you want to enjoy better posture, reduce back pain, or simply minimize your daily stress load, the Teeter Hang Ups EP-550 inversion therapy table makes a terrific choice. Inversion therapy works by placing your body in line with the downward force of gravity. In the process, inversion elongates the spine, increases the space between the vertebrae, and relieves the pressure on discs, ligaments, and nerve roots. And less pressure means less back pain, as well as fewer headaches and neck problems. Inversion is an ideal therapy for people with persistent spine and muscle problems, in addition to athletes who frequently push their body out of whack through repetitive muscle motions, such as runners, weightlifters, skiers, bikers, and golfers. Studies suggest that inverting yourself a mere 25 degrees for even a few minutes per day can have tremendously positive effects. The EP-550 is outfitted with such features as Flex Technology, which allows the backrest to bend accommodate your stretches for greater mobility and range of motion; an adjustable foot platform with two settings, allowing you to find the optimum position for ankle comfort and security; and an EZ Angle tether strap, which offers preset angles at 20, 40, and 60 degrees, along with custom angles depending on your preferred position. Other details include an adjustable head pillow for maximum comfort, an instructional DVD, and a 300-pound user capacity. The EP-550, which accommodates people as tall as 6 feet 6 inches, carries a five-year warranty. About Teeter Hang Ups
Roger and Jennifer Teeter founded Hang Ups Inversion Products in 1981 and have been dedicated to manufacturing quality inversion products ever since. Roger and Jenny truly believe in the benefits of this simple, natural form of therapy that has been around since 400 BC. In the late 1970's, Roger tried many forms of therapy to help manage his pain. He finally discovered that by inverting, he was able to relieve his back pain and begin the road to recovery. He credits inversion for keeping him pain free, healthy, and active. Inversion has changed Roger's life, and now he is dedicated to sharing his knowledge of inversion and quality products. STL International, creator of Teeter Hang Ups brand inversion equipment, has pioneered standards for quality and performance in the inversion market. All Teeter Hang Ups F-series inversion tables are classified in accordance with UL 2601-1 (medical equipment in a clinical setting), a rigid specification that tests the structural integrity of the equipment.

 EP-550 A High Quality Inversion Table July 31, 2010
Tough Critic (Reno, NV United States)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I researched several other inversion table manufacturers before deciding to purchase the Teeter EP-550. After three weeks of daily use I can report that I am very satisfied with the product. When hanging upside down you want an inversion table that is manufactured to high standards.
Assembly of the product was easy if you follow the directions. I am 6'1" and my wife is 5'4" so the ability to easily adjust the table is a real plus and encourages daily use. The design of the locking system for your feet and ankles makes you feel very secure when hanging upside down. I find it is best to wear heavy athletic shoes and socks for the best comfort when inverting. There is some pressure on the top of the foot and ankles especially when fully inverted but you quickly get used to it.
One of the best design features is the adjustable pivot point which let's the user control the speed of tilting backwards. This is great when you first start using the product and makes the user more confident to use it alone. There is a also an adjustable strap that allows you to pre-determine the maximum angle of inversion.
The manual urges beginners to limit their inversion to 60-degrees the first three weeks. This allows your body to acclimate to the felling of being inverted and you get all the benefits of spinal decompression. I sit a lot in front of a computer and I find this relieves a lot of tension in my back when I invert in the evening. I am starting to do some of the exercises like curving and rotating the back and the plastic table flexes for more comfort which is another useful feature. I can feel my back and abdominal muscles being stretched during inversion and abdominal crunches while inverted are really challenging. The Teeter unit is very stable and this is reassuring when doing exercises while inverted.
I know there are cheaper tables available but I am very pleased with the Teeter EP-550 after three weeks of use.

This product is top notch; made very well. We were going to return it only because the user had previous back issues & his dr. told him this item should not be used until some things get resolved. The return cost price was almost 1/2 of what the item cost, so we decided to keep it for now.

found it much cheaper, with accessories.
DVD did not work... so they sent a whole new 90 lb unit.
Product is great though.
Great traction device July 1, 2010

I have had a great experience with this table from the first day. I did not try to go fully inverted the first time, instead gradually increased the angle over time. I am not planning on going fully inverted as my back is feeling great with a 60% angle.
