Helpful Suggestions for good use of your
Inversion Table:
Level #1: Getting Acquainted With Your Table:
Beginners
• Recommend only partial inversion until comfortable with arm
balancing motion.
• 30 seconds for the first time inverting.
• Increase to one minute within the first week.
• Have someone with you when you are finding your correct height
setting.
• Be sure to come out of inversion slowly be raising one arm at a
time slowly to allow your body to adjust.
Level #2: Knowledgeable on Balance Motion of Table
• The angle should be increase only if it is comfortable with arm
balancing motion.
• Inverting to as little as 25 degrees for even a few minutes can
help.
• Increase only a few degrees at a time. You can gain all the benefits
of inversion without ever inverting beyond 60 degrees.
• You can increase your routine over a period of time.
Safety & Caution: Listen to what your body is saying:
• Every user is different and your body will let you know what is
right for you.
• Others may be inverting longer, do what your body tells you is
right for you.
• Each session can vary depending on your body that day.
• Do not invert right after eating or drinking — wait a minimum
time for your body to absorb.
• Beginning users may become nauseous or light headed when
inverting, remember for some users it takes time for their inner ear
and body to become accustomed to inverting.
• Inversion should follow the general rule: The greater the angle
of inversion, the shorter the amount of static inversion time. The
same holds true in reverse. Above all, pay attention to your body.
When you feel like you've had enough, stop.
Exercising: For Experienced Users Only:
• To make inversion a more comfortable experience, try moving
while being inverted.
• Slow, gentle rotation and movement can add benefits to your
inversion experience. This can also help realign joints and stretch
muscle.
• Gentle stretching and light exercising can be added once you are
comfortable with inverting.
• When exercising, do slowly until you have established what is the
correct routine for you.
Inverting Regularly:
• We suggest inverting for two or three spaced sessions everyday.
WARNING: The inversion table is rated at a capacity of 300 lbs. HOWEVER,
please confine all inverted activities to smooth movements. Aggressive
exercises which involve a lot of body movement can cause the table to tip
over and cause possible serious injuries.
