The question I get asked more than any other is “How do the bestselling inversion therapy tables compare?” I get many emails and comments requesting information on the relative merits and drawbacks of the different inversion tables on the market. I can understand this because in addition to the features and performance, I know that when I am looking to buy a product I want to know how it compares to products made by other manufacturers.

As far as I am concerned, there are 5 inversion tables that stand out from the others and so I thought it would be helpful to potential buyers if I summarized and compared them here. I have provided links to my reviews if you want to read more about a particular product. Prices change frequently and there are big discounts available, which are highlighted in the reviews.

I’ve chosen one product from Body Max and two each from Teeter Hang Ups and IronMan. Let’s start with a table to highlight the main features of each table.

Ironman Gravity 1000 Inversion Table

You might call this the entry-level inversion table from Ironman but there is nothing entry-level about the quality and ease of use. This table has to be the best value inversion table for the money. Right from the start, it has been designed to make things as simple as possible. It assembles easily and within minutes you can be inverted and feeling the benefits that inversion therapy can bring. You can read more about it in my Ironman Gravity 1000 Inversion Table review.



Ironman Gravity 4000 Inversion Table

The Gravity 4000 builds on the already impressive Gravity 1000 by offering a stronger, more rugged frame and the utmost in comfort when it comes to the backrest. The molded ankle holders are also extremely comfortable and overall this table will help with posture, back pain relief and general relaxation. Please take a look at my review of the Ironman Gravity 4000 Inversion Table to get more information and pricing on this product.



Body

One of the most popular inversion therapy tables on the market is the Body Champ IT8070 manufactured by BodyMax. As you will see in my Body Champ IT8070 Inversion Table review, there is a lot to like about this table. Not only does it perform like a champ, it is also the cheapest of the five tables listed here and so provides very good value for money. This table is ideal for relieving pressure from pinched or compressed spinal nerves in your back, all at a price that no other table can match.



Teeter Hang Ups EP-550 Inversion Table

Teeter Hang Ups is the company started up by Roger Teeter, who took to designing and manufacturing his own inversion equipment as a result of his back problems. The number of people who have found relief from the symptoms of back troubles is growing week by week. Most users only needed to use the board for five to ten minutes a day for one week to see their pain and any signs of their condition disappear. Take a look at my review of the Teeter Hang Ups EP-550 Inversion Table if you want a detailed description and pricing information.



Teeter Hang Ups EP-950 Inversion Table

I have left the best inversion table to last. The table I would rate above all others is another Teeter Hang Ups table, which as you will read in my Teeter Hang Ups EP-950 Inversion Table review, offers the best possible performance. While it costs more than the other tables listed here, the additional cost is more than matched by the benefits it brings. Whether you suffer from pinching nerves in your spine, chronic upper back pain or sciatica, the EP-950 has been designed to bring you the best means to obtaining the quickest back pain relief.

ironman atis 1000 ab training system inversion therapy table

Ironman ATIS 1000 AB Training System Inversion Therapy Table

With the occurrence of back trouble increasing with each year, it is estimated to affect the lives of tens of millions of people in the U.S. alone. More and more people are looking for ways to relieve their symptoms without having to spend thousands of dollars on a chiropractor. This is where inversion therapy comes in, and not just for back pain either as we will see.

You might think that inversion tables are pretty much the same but there are some that stand out for their additional features. One such inversion table is the Ironman ATIS 1000 AB Training System Inversion Therapy Table. The beauty of this table is that it can be used equally for relief of back pain symptoms as it can for working out.

This versatility as well as the cheap deals that are available makes it the best value inversion table on the market today as you will see from my review.

Highlights of the Ironman ATIS 1000:

  • Unique “Smart Gear” system locks table in different inverting positions
  • “Comforter” ankle holders prevent any pinch points
  • Combination inversion table for both ab training and reducing back pain and stress
  • Made from a durable oval tubing steel frame
  • Heavy nylon backrest with memory foam vinyl pillow
  • Height-adjustable frame up to 6 feet 6 inches and supports up to 300 pounds
  • 10 different inversion locking angles
  • Folds away for storage

Assembling the Ironman Inversion System

Assembly of the Ironman Inversion System is much easier than you might think when you see the big and heavy box that it comes in. When you open the box you will find that each and very piece is wrapped for protection. All the small parts such as bolts, nuts, washers and screws are held on a piece of cardboard and held in place by shrink wrap plastic so that there is no danger of losing them. You will also find the simple tools you will need to put the unit together.

As you would expect with a piece of equipment targeted at people suffering from back problems, the table itself is easy to put together and can be assembled by one person. The important thing therefore is to try and get the person delivering to put the box in the room where you will be assembling it. For complete assembly it takes an hour at the most. Mounting the bed onto the frame is the bit that you might think would be the hardest part but it is really the easiest bit of all. Assembly is helped by the fact that both leg assemblies including the pivots are already fitted together.

Comfy Ankle Holders is a Strong Point

One common fault with some inversion tables is that the ankle holders can be uncomfortable. In fact it’s not really a fault but bad design. The Ironman ATIS 1000 however is fitted with ankle holders that are so comfortable you will hardly notice them, in spite of the fact that they support much of your weight. The comfort is provided by the superior padding that is used, not just on the ankle holders but on the padded headrest too. Another feature that helps, particularly for first-time users is the addition of hand rails on the sides. These help you feel much more secure and help to make it even easier to lower or raise the table.

The entire table is made very well and it is easily adjusted for different heights. This table actually takes you upside down where as a lot of table only take you 3/4 of the way to being upside down. This table was well worth the extra money.

A Purchase You Won’t Regret – a Lifesaver

In order to find out just how effective the Ironman ATIS 1000 is, you really need to read and hear the stories provided by people were in great pain until they started to use it. Take the example of a man who was just about to contact a chiropractor, but decided to try inversion therapy as a last resort. All he can say is “thank goodness” he did. In fact he goes as far as to say that it is “a lifesaver”. There is also the story of the husband and wife who both had back problems. She had a herniated disk in her neck that caused chronic pain. This inversion table provided almost immediate relief. Her husband also uses it every few days and this is enough to keep him from having to visit the chiropractor.

Let’s hear from one more user how had been suffering from a back injury that happened 7 years ago. This resulted in years of stiffness and back pain until she used the Ironman ATIS 1000 Inversion Therapy Table. Within a couple of months the pain had subsided so that it was quite tolerable. After 6 months of use she can hardly feel any pain at all!

There are many features that make it ideal for people who are in a lot of pain to begin with – for example the multiple positions make it easier to go upside down and then back up to an upright position. These stops and the ankle braces make you feel more secure compared to other tables out there.

Try it – you will like it

The Ironman ATIS 1000 AB Training System Inversion Table provides exceptional value for the money. It has many additional features to help you. To start with, the ATIS will lock at 10 different inverting angles. The patented “Smart Gear” system is used to lock the table in different inverting positions. One of these positions is a full 90 degrees. The unique “Comforter” ankle holders stop any pinch point pressure when inverting.

The Ironman ATIS 1000 is made from a hard-wearing oval tubing steel frame. This frame has a scratch resistant powder coating. It has a heavy nylon backrest, which has a Memory foam vinyl pillow for head support. It supports up to 325 lbs in weight and has a plastic holder for a cell phone, eye glasses, wallets and other valuables while you are inverted. It is also easy to adjust the height of the table to suit the heights of different people.

This inversion table optimizes lumbar traction in order to relieve pressure on your vertebrae discs and ligaments. When your back starts to relax, the rest of your body will follows. In addition, the ATIS 1000 differs from other inversion tables in one important ways. Due to its ab and core training system, the table is able to isolate the abdominals much more effectively than bench training can do. This allows you to build and strengthen your abs daily with just a few minutes of work.

Within a couple of months of use you will have saved money by not going to the chiropractor to pay for this table…Buy NAME

When you are in the business of physical therapy, it is important that you have the right types of tables. It does not suffice to have just one type of table. That is because your patients come in different types. They come in different shapes, sizes, and conditions. If you have just one type of table, you’re not going to be able to serve everyone who walks through your door. That can do a lot of harm to your bottom line and there are going to be a lot of people wanting you to help them, but you can’t. Finding the right table Two of the most common types of physical therapy tables are the Classic Clinician style tables that you see in spas and various physical therapy offices.

Most importantly, you want to make sure that your physical therapy equipment can treat anyone in a variety of different situations. Take the bariatric patient, for example.
