Pain, Pain Go Away

All of us experience aches and pains, even children. Headaches, back aches, joint pains. You may have heard that inversion therapy is a great antidote to such pains and are shopping around for an inversion table. With so many models flooding the market, choosing one can be confusing.

If you're going to hang upside down, your first consideration should be quality. Inverting your body makes you feel vulnerable, so it is important that you feel secure and comfortable. After all, you get the full benefits of inversion when you relax deeply and breathe easily. This is not going to happen if you feel tense about falling off! When you're satisfied with the quality of a table, you'll need to consider its price: can you afford it?

Ironman Gravity 2000 reviews line it up among the best in the business. It scores well on all points and comes out a winner. Users rave about how safe and comfortable the ankle locks feel, especially in comparison to the ankle supports on other tables. They are foam-padded and easily adjustable. You won't get the feeling that you could fall off anytime. They secure you so well that users can even do abdominal crunches while hanging upside down. Look ma, no hands! The foam-padded back rest feels better on your back than the canvas ones. The extra long handrails make it easy for you to get back to an upright position while the tether straps help you control the angle at which you invert. It is recommended that you start at the 45-degree and 60-degree angles and work up to the full 90-degrees gradually. The quality of the Gravity 2000 is comparable to the $400 tables but it actually costs less than half that price. It looks beautiful, too.

If you're over 300 lbs., you'll want the Ironman Gravity 4000 benefits. This model can carry people who weigh up to 350 lbs., so you know it's solidly built! It includes a lumbar pillow (removable) for added comfort to your lower back and a palm-activated adjusting ratchet ankle locking system in place of the spring-loaded type. It also sells for under 200 dollars. This model is currently the king in its class.

Buyers who have a lower budget will be delighted by the Ironman Gravity 1000 safety features that are built into all Ironman tables. It also has a nylon backrest that is far more comfortable than board-type pads. It is made of top-quality tubular steel and has a durable powder-coated finish. Whether you're 5'3" or 6 feet tall, you'll feel safe on this sturdy piece of equipment, which has non-skid rubber floor stabilizers at the corners of its frame to keep you steady as you invert. And for only 125 dollars!
