Teeter Hang Ups F7000 Inversion Table rotates on a pivot system. With simple arm movements (rotation is accomplished by shifting the weight of the arms), the table easily rotates to any comfortable angle. The smooth rotation allows for oscillation and intermittent traction. Adjustable roller hinges allow you to pre-select three levels to control the aggressiveness of rotation, and the tether strap allows you to pre-select the maximum angle of inversion. Comfortable ankle clamps hold you securely while inverting.
The F7000 Inversion Table is able to lock at full 90° inversion (this is only possible when using the more aggressive roller hinge setting). While at 90°, you can perform inverted sit-ups and squats. The table is self-controlled and can be unlocked with simple arm movements. Although most people find the standard ankle clamps on the F5000 to be comfortable, some user's may require additional support. Teeter Hang Ups offers the option to convert the F5000 for use with gravity boots. The optional Adapter Kit comes complete with Gravity Boots and the CV Bar needed to convert the table.
The F7000 Inversion Table folds compactly for storage in a closet or in a corner. The nylon mat can be removed for washing. Every table comes with a 14-minute instructional video, laminated owner's manual, and an 88-page medical research book on inversion written for "nonmedical" people.
Teeter Hang Ups F7000 Table has all the same great features as the Teeter Hang Ups F5000 Table with the addition of the corner feet that add stability.

DEX • decompression & extension™
Call for pricing 1-800-334-2605
The DEX • decompression & extension provides all of the benefits of inversion while holding the user in the 90/90 position, which is the optimum position for decompression of the lower back. From this position, the user is in a body position relevant to gravity that maximizes muscle performance during back extensions while helping to prevent hyperextension.
Improving upon the traditional roman chair, the unique design actually reduces the load on the hamstrings by placing the knees in the relaxed 90° position, rather than forcing less effective, straight-legged exercises.

Benefits
of Inversion
Doctors, physical therapists
and sports trainers recognize inversion as a safe and effective form
of therapy for the spine and weight-bearing joints. In fact, the
US Army is writing Inversion into its worldwide physical training manual
that will be adopted for the new millennium.
Inversion elongates the
spine, increasing the space between the vertebrae, which relieves
the pressure on discs, ligaments and nerve roots. Less pressure means
less back pain.
Inverting yourself to as little as 25° for even a few minutes can
help relax tense muscles and speed the flow of lymphatic fluids which
flush out the body's wastes and carry them to the blood stream. The
faster this waste is cleared, and fresh supplies of oxygen are introduced,
the faster stiffness and pain in the muscles can disappear. A study
conducted by physiotherapist L.J. Nosse found that, "EMG (electromyographic)
activity, an indicator of muscle pain, declined over 35% within ten
seconds of assuming the inverted position. See
Medical Studies
Inversion Helps Improve
Circulation and Accelerates the Cleansing of Blood and Lymph Fluids
The cardiovascular system is made up of the heart, veins, arteries,
and capillaries. It is your body's transportation system, carrying food
and oxygen to your body's cells. Your heart pumps blood through the
system: oxygen-rich blood from the lungs goes out through the arteries
and waste-filled blood comes back through the veins to be cleansed and
recharged with oxygen. The cardiovascular system also retrieves blood
from your legs and lower torso, carrying it upwards against the force
of gravity. Inversion allows your body to work with gravity to ease
the circulation process.
Unlike the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system has no pump.
Only the alternate contraction and relaxation of muscles moves lymphatic
fluid "uphill" through capillaries and one-way valves to the
upper chest for cleansing. Inverting the body so that gravity works
with, not against, these one-way valves helps to push the lactic fluid
up to the chest. The faster the lymphatic system is cleared the faster
the ache and pain of stiff muscles disappears.
Inversion Helps Increase Oxygen Flow to the Brain Your heart
must work against gravity to pump blood up to your brain, which is the
body's largest consumer of oxygen. Although it is only three percent
of the body's total weight, the brain consumes 25 percent of the body's
oxygen intake.
Win Wenger, in How to Increase Your Intelligence, noted that "only
those brain cells which are close to an ample capillary blood supply
are thoroughly developed. Away from such source of supply, brain cells
remain undeveloped and useless. " Wenger describes "upside
down activities" to increase oxygen supply to the brain. He states,
"In short, you can much improve the physical state of your entire
brain." A brain that is better nourished simply works better.
Some people claim that increasing the circulation of blood to the head
through inversion may also improve the color and tone of your skin,
stimulate mental alertness, and improve hearing and vision. In addition,
some claim that hair will be healthier, and may even grow again, if
the scalp is well supplied with blood.
Peter Russell notes in The Brain Book that the deterioration of the
brain is not directly linked to age alone. Rather, this deterioration
is caused by hardening arteries and high blood pressure, both of which
decrease the supply of oxygen to the brain. Thus a major step in reducing
mental deterioration (or senility) over time may simply be increasing
the oxygen supply to the brain. Keeping the brain active and well supplied
with oxygen may help maintain your brain function and mental sharpness
throughout your entire life. (NOTE: If you have high blood pressure,
consult your physician before starting an inversion program.)
Relieves Varicose Veins:
By stimulating circulation, inversion has been known to relieve varicose
veins. Varicose veins are caused when blood pools in the veins due to
weakened one-way valves. The downward pull of gravity causes blood to
slip back, and over time the vein will distend and become painful. When
inverting, the pressure is relieved and the heart is able to clear the
blood from the lower body.

Testimonials
43% of Teeter Hang Ups customers purchaseTeeter Hang Ups products for relief of back
pain. 57% purchase for wellness issues (circulation, relieve stress,
and decompression).
Dr. Nathaniel Wirt, D.C. "Hanging a few minutes everyday made my back stronger and eventually
all the pain disappeared! My back became stronger than it had ever been.
I began exercising, including walking and jogging, with no back strains
resulting. Today I am 55 years old, my posture is good, and I am healed.
The daily inversion stimulated postural and circulatory changes in my
body. Better posture was practiced, (standing straighter with thighs
tightened and shoulders back). This caused my abdomen to flatten out-
no sit-ups or crunches. Other physical changes occurred: My complexion
improved and wrinkles and fleshy parts of my face and neck diminished!"
When inversion is coupled with posture and toning exercises, internal
organs assume their proper position. For example, from left to right,
the spleen, stomach, pancreas, liver, and gall bladder are supposed
to rest just under the diaphragm and "move" with every breath.
When organs are not in their best physiological position, these membranes
are compromised, effecting nerve and blood flow."
Dr. Robert Bouvier, MD "We have found
significant improvement using various inversion techniques which needs
further exploration. However, we are very excited about the results
thus far. After two weeks on the inversion table on a daily basis urinary
incontinence disappeared in two female patients. We have used the inversion
table on chronic bronchitis as well as asthmatics."
Dr. John Huber, D.C. "I have been using your inversion products in my chiropractic
office for the past 14 years. Your inversion equipment is the best on
the market, and my patients have benefited greatly from their inversion
therapy."
Amy Jane Simons "I think the STL inversion equipment is an invaluable tool in
back rehabilitation. My physician recommended the use of your inversion
table three times daily as part of an active course of physical therapy
I noticed results almost immediately. My back injuries have almost completely
healed."
Victor Faraci "After using {Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Equipment}, I have noticed
an amazing change in my flexibility, after only a few weeks of use.
My golf game is much improved due to greater shoulder mobility. I whole-heartedly
attest to the benefits of this product."
Christopher Peterson "With the Teeter F5000III I noticed a remarkable improvement in my
posture and my walk. Before using the inversion table I had muscle spasms
and back problems."
Clara Smith "Inverting daily keeps my body stretched, relaxed, symmetrical.
The adult acne that I've had since the age of 29 has nearly disappeared.
The cold hands and feet that I have experienced for years has disappeared.
"
Nancy Smith "In 1982 I started inverting. I was 52 years old then, and over
the years I managed to change just about everything; everything from
a badly misaligned hip, feet with corns and a walk with a limp to bad
tarter on my teeth. Yes, it changed that too! "
John Matalamaki, motor cycle
racer. "As a long time motorcycle racer with a chronic bad back, I've
been very impressed with pain relief I've gotten with the daily use
of Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table. It is the best rehabilitation and maintenance
device I have ever used."
Donald Myrah, mountain bike
racer. "In the past I have often had problems with my lower back tightening
on training rides and during races. After using your the Teeter Hang Ups Inversion
Table, I do not have the problem with my lower back tightening as before."
Rick Maisel, Active Athlete
"I have found that 100 upside down sit-ups are equal to 1000
regular sit-ups (with less strain on the back)."
Mike Sandber, Skydiver "Getting inverted relieves and relaxes not only my joints and
vertebrae but lets my organs and blood flow more naturally. Being inverted
at least 30 minutes a day improves my performance capability by stimulating
my vestibular system and allows decompression of my spine to occur."
Jim Whitesel, Seattle Seahawks
Football Team Trainer "Professional football places a great deal of stress to the
lumbar sacral area of the spine. Inversion assisted stretching is quite
beneficial."
Dr. W G W, Chief Department
of Surgery "I would like to report to you that I have had extraordinary
success in patients using inversion. Its essential value is the ability
of the patient to prevent the onset of a more irreversible symptom complex
by having the device available."
Product Quality "40% of Teeter Hang Ups consumers say that Quality is the most important
reason for purchasing Teeter Hang Ups products.Teeter Hang Ups has received many
letters testifying to this fact."
Derek Snow, Birmingham, AL
"I've made a lot of purchases for gym accessories, but never
have I been as pleased or excited about a product as yours."
JF Sylar, West Jordan, UT
"Thank you for producing a quality product that more people
could benefit from if they were aware of its benefits."
Ron & Elizabeth Dutcher
"Thanks again for such a well-made and well-conceived piece
of health-giving equipment."
Bob Sherin, Miami, FL "From its simplicity and durability, the expertise put into
the design of Teeter Hang Ups is manifest. I can say in all honesty that your
product has markedly improved the quality of my life"

Medical Studies on Inversion Therapy
· Sheffield, F.: Adaptation of Tilt Table for Lumbar Traction.
Arch Phys Med Rehabil 45: 469-472, 1964.
175 patients who were unable to work due to back pain were treated.
After eight inversion treatments, 155 patients were able to return to
their jobs full time. Study concluded that the main basis for improvement
was the stretching of paraspinal vertebral muscles and ligaments and
possibly the widening of intravertebral discs.
Study found significant improvements in a variety of diagnosis including
spondylolisthesis, herniated discs, lumbar osteoarthritis with sciatica,
and coccygodynia. Patient experienced traction in a modified hip flexed
position.
It is worth noting that previous to his use of inversion therapy, Dr.
Sheffield regularly used mechanical traction with weights and pulleys.
He considered inverted traction much more effective than mechanical
traction.
· Nosse, L.: Inverted Spinal Traction. Arch Phys Med Rehabil
59: 367-370, Aug 78.
Study found emg activity (an indicator of muscle pain) declined 35%
within the first 10 seconds of inversion. Study found that inversion
increases the spinal length. Study concluded there is a correlation
between a reduction in emg activity and an increase in spinal length.
· Gianakopoulos, G, et al: Inversion Devices: Their Role in Producing
Lumbar Distraction. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 66: 100-102, Feb 85.
Study found all subjects experienced intravertebral separation in the
lower lumbar vertebrae. Study concluded that although mechanical traction
has been used for centuries, only gravity assisted traction (inversion)
offers an effective means of achieving pelvic traction at home.
· Ballantyne, Byron, et al: The Effects of Inversion Traction
on Spinal Column Configuration, Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, and Perceived
Discomfort. Jour of Orthopedic Sports Phys Ther. 254-260, Mar 86.
Study concluded that inversion can be an effective means of spinal traction.
Subjects inverting in the hip flexed position experienced greater separation
between the lumbar vertebrae.
· Kane, M, et al: Effects of Gravity-facilitated Traction on
Intravertebral Dimensions of the Lumbar Spine. Jour of Orthopedic and
Sports Phys Ther. 281-288, Mar 85.
Study found gravity-facilitated traction (inversion), produces significant
intravertebral separation in lumbar spine. Study concluded gravity facilitated
traction may be an effective modality in the relief of low back pain.
· Goldman, R, et al: The Effects of Oscillating Inversion on
Systemic Blood Pressure, Pulse, Intraocular Pressure, and Central Retinal
Arterial Pressure. The Physician and Sports Medicine. 13: 93-96, Mar
85. Study concluded that full inversion using oscillation procedure
presents no risk to normotensive healthy subjects.
· Dimberg, L, et al: Effects of gravity-facitliated traction
of the lumbar spine in persons with chronic low back pain at the workplace.
116 people were enrolled in the randomized controlled trial which lasted
for 12 months. A randomized controlled trial with two training groups
and one control group was conducted to asses the effect of gravity inversion
on pain level and absenteeism due to LBP. Average age = 44 years. 77%
men
Group 1: used inversion for 10 minutes 1/day
Group 2: used inversion for 10 minutes 2/day
Group 3: control group
Results after 12 months of training program: 1. The employees in Group
1 and 2 decreased sick days due to back pain by 33%. 2. Average sick
days to due back pain fell by 8 days per individual in the treated group.
3. "Inversion is an efficient and cheap way to improve employee
health and possibly reduce sick day costs to the employer."
Nachemson, Alf, et al:
Intravital Dynamic Pressure Measurements in Lumbar Discs. 1970.
Study measured internal disc pressure (in the 3rd lumbar disc) through
a range of activities, including standing, sitting, bending and vertical
and supine traction. The study suggests that a traction load of 60%
body weight is sufficient to reduce the residual pressure of 25% standing
body weight to zero.
______________________________________________________________________ Contraindications Inversion therapy can provide innumerable benefits to your health.
Inversion can relieve back pain, decompress the spine, stretch muscles
and ligaments, relieve stress, improve circulation and help maintain
overall good health. However, inversion is not for everyone. If you have any of the following
health conditions, please do not invert without your licensed physician's
approval (this is not an exhaustive list - it is intended only for your
reference.)
Anti-Coagulants (Use of): Blood-thinning drugs or aspirin to reduce
clotting of the arteries and blood vessels. The use of anti-coagulants
signals people at risk for circulatory problems. Advise speaking with
a physician before inverting.
Bone weakness, recent fractures, skeletal implants: Having a person's
weight pulling down when inverted may exacerbate these conditions. Osteoporosis
is a calcium deficiency disease in which the bones become porous, brittle,
and very weak. Advise speaking with a physician before inverting.
Conjunctivitis - (Pink eye): An inflammation of the transparent
membrane that covers the front surface of the eyeball and the inner
surface of the eyelids caused by bacterial or viral infection. Advise
speaking with a physician before inverting.
Glaucoma: A condition of elevated pressure within the eye because
of an obstruction of the outflow of the clear, watery fluid circulating
in the chambers of the eye. The resulting pressure (which is imperceptible
without an eye exam) kills cells in the optic nerve, which can lead
to a gradual loss of vision. Anyone with an eye condition should speak
with a physician before inverting.
Heart / circulatory disorders: Any condition involving the circulatory
system. Speak with a physician before inverting.
Hiatal hernia, ventral hernia: A hiatal hernia occurs when intra-abdominal
pressure increases cause a portion of the stomach to move into the chest
cavity through a weakness in the diaphragm. A ventral hernia develops
at the site of previous surgery, usually along vertical incisions. It
may also result from weakness in the abdominal wall. Advise speaking
with a physician before inverting.
High blood pressure, hypertension: A common disorder in which
the heart is pumping blood through the circulatory system with a force
greater than that required for normal blood flow. An elevated blood
pressure which exceeds 140/90. It is true that certain people should
not invert if they have uncontrolled high blood pressure. However, inversion
can cause a state of relaxation that results in a drop in heart rate
and BP (sometimes even lower than at a resting state). Some doctors
have used inversion as a treatment for high BP. Advise speaking with
a physician before inverting.
Middle ear infection: The middle ear helps equalize air pressure
in the ear. A person may feel discomfort or disorientation during inversion.
Advise speaking with a physician before inverting.
Obesity (extreme): In some people obesity can be associated with
the undetected onset of many of the circulatory and eye problems mentioned
above. The weight capacity of each of the inversion products should
not be exceeded.
Pregnancy: Pregnant women should exercise caution when inverting.
Advisable to talk with physician first.
Retinal detachment: A separation of the retina, the thin, delicate
membrane covering the rear portion of the eye, from the optic nerve.
Usually results from a hole in the retina that allows the vitreous humor
fluid to leak. Treatment is almost always surgical. A retinal hemorrhage,
in most cases, can heal by itself. Anyone with an eye condition should
speak with a physician before inverting.
Spinal injury: Any severe spinal cord trauma requires a person to
consult their physician before inverting.
Stroke: Occurs when a blood vessel in the neck or brain becomes
blocked or when a vessel in the brain bursts open. Symptoms include
paralysis, difficulty speaking, memory loss, and impaired thought processes.
Transient ischemic attack: Often called a "mini-stroke,"
a TIA occurs when the blood supply is temporarily interrupted to a part
of the brain due to a blockage. Often precedes the onset of a full stroke,
and requires immediate action.
