Teeter EP-560 LTD Inversion Table Review

Designed To Bring Stability

Teeter Hang Ups company is one of the few companies in the industry that has applied the UL 1647 standard approved by the US authorities specialized in occupational safety and health administration, which is dedicated to exercise machines. The company has put stability on first place and because of that, the table was built on a tubular structure made of heated-treated carbon steel. This makes the table a bit heavy, but this disadvantage is minor in comparison to the stability this type of structure can offer.

To increase its durability and at the same time creating a better appearance, the table’s frame is powder coated. Furthermore, to avoid accidents caused by the table slipping on the floor, it is equipped with thick, non-stick stabilizers ensuring a plus of stability.

A tether strap is also included making it easier to pre-set the inversion angle to maximum 60 degrees. The tether strap’s role is, in case you lose control of your rotation, to help you stop it and avoid getting injured. Its length is not too long, therefore it can be used for maximum 60 degrees and not for full inversion at an angle of 90 degrees. Because the producers thought of more stretching options, the inversion table was designed with maximized handles.

How Safe and Comfortable Is It For Ankles?

Teeter Hang Ups EP-560 LTD inversion table comes with an innovative ankle locking system called Ergo-Embrace which increases the level of confidence when using it from the first time. This system is practically distributing your body weight around your ankles in order to avoid higher pressure on your ankles and offering additional comfort.

Another important thing is that the ankle bar is spring-loaded, a fact which is not very often encountered in conversion tables. Therefore, if you want to adjust it you need to pull the T-shaped pin and let the ankle cups to get around your ankles and secure your inversion therapy session. However, if you want to reach the T-pin, you will have to bend over every time. In addition, the ankle comfort dial system offers you the possibility to adjust the foot platform height in case your feet are larger or smaller. Like this, you will feel comfortable during your 10-minutes therapy session.

Teeter’s EP-560 Accessories For A Plus of Comfort
