With hundreds of exercise programs and medications being offered as a solution to back pain, inversion tables are a straight-forward tactic for tackling some back problems. Inversion tables use gravity as a means to properly align and elongate the spine, helping to ease pressure on discs. A common complaint of hanging upside down on inversion tables is the discomfort experienced in the ankles. A few manufacturers make inversion tables that seek to add comfort and support to the ankles while doing your inversion therapy.
Ironman Gravity 1000 Inversion Table
The Ironman Gravity 1000 Inversion table inverts to 90 degrees when in use and can be folded down when not in use. It has a sturdy frame with floor stabilizers that prevent movement. The Ironman Gravity 1000 inversion table is strong enough to support up to 300 lb. and a person up to 6 feet, 6 inches tall. This inversion table has molded cushions for ankle comfort along with a spring powered ankle locking system for enhanced ankle support and comfort.
Ironman 5800 Inversion Table
The Ironman 5800 inversion table features an extra wide frame that enables it to support extra weight -- up to 350 lb. The Ironman 5800 also inverts up to 180 degrees and has three inversion angle starting points. The backrest is made of 2-inch thick memory foam to ensure comfort. Ankles are supported by the patented Palm Activated adjusting ratchet ankle locking system. This gives a custom fit and ankle support for comfort.
EP-850 Inversion Table w/Ankle Clamp System
The EP-850 inversion table features an ankle clamp system. Foam designed cups are used to surround the ankles to reduce pressure on the joint. Ankle stress and discomfort is decreased greatly by a distribution of body weight. The footing design allows you to dial up or down for smaller or larger feet. This helps ensure a custom fit within the ankle clamps. The EP-850 inversion table features preset start angles of 20, 40 or 60 degrees.
EP-950 Inversion Table With Ergo-Embrace Ankle System
The EP-950 Inversion Table features the flex technology that increases the range of motion of stretches as well as spinal realignment and muscle relaxation. It has a weight capacity of 300 lb. and is built for durability. The EP-950 inversion table provides added ankle support and comfort with the Ergo-Embrace Ankle System and the Ratchet Ankle Lock System. The combination of padded ankle braces and adjustable foot holds provides comfort and enables you to enjoy inversion therapy rather than endure it.
