Innova Inversion Table with Adjustable Headrest, Reversible Ankle Holders, and 300 lb Weight Capacity

No need to pay more ! Innova Model ITX9688My doctor recommended my “trying out” inversion therapy, for my diagnosis of low-back problems, including bulging discs and spinal stenosis.Not being sure if an inversion table would work for me, I shopped for a “budget” model on Amazon – just to try it out.All Reviews Led To INNOVA !I ordered the ITX9688 with the Extended Ankle Lever, and the model with the short ankle lever arrived . . .INNOVA Customer Service to the Rescue !They came to my immediate rescue and took care of all of the update parts – bringing my table up to the ITX9688 Specs !They were a true pleasure to work with, and I was SOLD on this product, even before I began using it.As a senior Mechanical Design Engineer, I looked at the quality of design and materials used for this product, and I was very impressed with both.The Table requires Assembly – and came very well packaged, including excellent assembly instructions, and all of the required hardware, carefully laid out to an assembly board, which already has the specific hardware items packed & labeled, according to the corresponding assembly instructions page –The Hardware Board also came with the required assembly tools – making this a;Open the Package > Read The Instructions > Assemble following the very easy to understand instructions – using the corresponding hardware items – there are clear pictures showing everything.For those reviewers who said the assembly process was confusing or difficult . . .Well . . . If you actually read the very simple and well laid out instructions – yes – I took my time - - and it went together beautifully.Now, I have a full mechanical shop with a very large tool inventory – but I chose to assemble the table using the supplied tools from Innova – I just wanted to see if it could be done using only Innova supplied materials.No Problem – Anyone who takes the time to read and follow the supplied instructions and materials, will be rewarded with a very nice assembled table.Even those with minimal mechanical skills can do this, they just may need to take a little more time . . . “It’s worth it” – Just be patient – and if you run into a problem - - You can rely on their fantastic customer support team.I began using the table – Setting The Balance Pivot Point was a simple process – starting by setting to your height – trying the table out – then making some sleight and easy adjustments to allow for personal body-weight-distribution.I was warned to not attempt full inversion – but go slowly – as my doctor recommended work up to full inversion.He wanted me to start off nearly horizontal, and each week, adjust the very easy Inversion Angle Knob, and each week, I increased the inversion angle, finally arriving at full inversion.Doing the process slowly, is also a great way for your ankles to get used to being held and supporting your body weight.I have read reviews of some customers complaining of the ankle system being uncomfortable !Well, for me, by the time I progressed to full inversion, I felt like I was being very well secured, and had no discomfort.Yes, I can see if some users are impatient, and try to start off with full inversion, their ankles may not feel very comfortable –Well – Out of the Blue – you hanging upside down – held by your ankles – of course this is an unusual position and of course, it may feel uncomfortable –My advice – Take it slow – let your body and ankles get used to the very easy system to use, and there shouldn’t be any ankle comfort issues –Tip – I find that keeping the Ankle System slightly loose, instead of being tightly clamped to your legs, aids tremendously to my comfort.I enthusiastically recommend this product, especially from Innova.It's a great table from an excellent company with a high build quality which will last.After 4 full months of daily use, I can report, for my specific condition, I have experience significant relief from my symptoms.

Have had this for awhile now, don't know why I did not review it earlier. It came in a box with all parts clearly marked and with clear instructions for assembly. It did take me a couple hours to put it all together but I work slowly and methodically and actually read the instructions. It is very sturdy even after all the time I have had it (few years?). It helps my back decompress. It sends blood to the head which for me results in increased alertness, a benefit I did not expect. Bottom line, a quality product at a very decent price.

This is an excellent product for the price. It took a bit of assembly time, over an hour and a half, but all the parts were there and everything fit fine. The table is very comfortable and easy to use. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 is the way it secures your ankles/legs. There is quite a bit of pressure on your lower shins which is very uncomfortable. If the U-shaped holders were only 1” longer at the bottom it would resolve this problem because it would make contact with the top of the shoe. I might end up adding some rubber strips to the top of the Footrest to alleviate the height issue.

Installation took a bit of time. Like 40ish minutes due to confusing bolt placements but once it got put together its great.Before I continue: SAFETY is key. This machine locks your feet inplace and turns you upside down. If you are hesitant even just a tiny bit, have someone with you when using it. Comfort wise its alright. Pretty strong so far. Just be mindful where you use it. Hard floor recommended carpet is okay with a partner to prevent injury.This machine flips you upside down to help alleviate back and hip pain. Now idk how long you're supposed to be upside down when using the machine. I wing it everytime I use it. Just be mindful to not be upside down for a long time due to blood rushing to your head. 30 seconds to 1 minute per flip.I have chronic back pain so its never going away even with the help of this machine but this machine does help reduce the pressure on my lower back for a bit after using it. My mother used it as well and she felt better afterwards however she does not have chronic back pain like I do.Machine has 5 levels of flip to use. I can handle level 3-4. Highly recommend getting used to level 1 first before moving to other levels. Level 1 still flips you over however you have the most support at level 1. At level 5 you're basically free hanging. Be mindful and be careful when using this machine. Its supposed to help you not hurt you

I practised yoga since 1969, but had to stop head/shoulder stands after fracturing vertebrae multiple times starting in the late ‘80s. By 1998, my back pain was chronic so I bought my first inversion table (the expensive competitor). I loved it, my pain disappeared completely w/i a couple of mos., and I continued to invert just for my general health.In fact, so impressed was I that for years I sold these tables through the wellness centre I owned and received a constant stream of positive feedback re. customers' back pain. Then in 2014, I was diagnosed with late-stage glaucoma, rapidly losing my vision. I had to stop inverting immediately and reluctantly sold my table. My weak vertebrae continued to fracture and back pain became a constant companion again, so severe I could stand up for only a few minutes after 2 fractures in Oct. ‘18. (I don’t use pain medications due to multiple/unpredictable reactions.)After numerous eye surgeries, to my delight my surgeon deemed it safe for me to invert again. I found that the expensive model I’d owned before had replaced its mesh backing with a very hard surface I found far too painful.So I took a chance and ordered the much cheaper Innova.At first, there was a lot of gentle crunching and cracking with the gentle, natural traction as my spine readjusted and decompressed. I like the padded back and the added feature that allows one to choose the max. angle desired and work up to complete inversion. I have been inverting daily now for only 2 weeks (2x/day, the 2nd usually right before bed) and already the pain is diminishing dramatically, my posture is vastly improved, and I optimistically expect to experience freedom from pain again, as in the past.I am thrilled with and grateful for the Innova inversion table. No fancy “new & improved” bells and whistles – just a simple, solid, very effective and affordable piece of health equipment

Es un excelente producto, con materiales de calidad. Fácil de armar y seguro mucha gente se verá beneficiada. Sin embargo yo no seré uno de esos beneficiados. Tuve el producto un mes y la verdad es que a mi no sirvió, tenía altas expectativas por los comentarios que habían escrito, creí que con la cama de inversión iba a mejorar mi problema de lumbalgia y al contrario. Lo use un en frío, lo use después de caminar más de media hora, lo use después de hacer los ejercicios que me recomendó mi fisioterapeuta. Lo use con el máximo nivel de inclinación, con el mínimo, por 10 min, por 5 min y por 2 min y en todas en vez de sentir mejoría, sentía mayor dolor que tuve que bajar con analgésicos y desinflamatorios en varios días después de usarlo. En conclusión es un excelente producto, pero no es para todos, quizás cuando tienen un problema de varios meses ya diagnosticado y demás. Es mejor consultar con tu ortopedista si es conveniente adquirir esta cama. Yo al final opté por comprar un sobrecolchón de memory foam de 5 cm y hasta el momento me he sentido mejor que con la cama de inversión. Le puse 5 estrellas por que es un producto excelente, lamentablemente no para mí. Tenía muchas esperanzas, pero esta vez no lo pude conservar.

It feels solid enough for the price....not that robust or specialYou get what you paid for, in this case is say it's perfectIt can handle my weight just fine and i'm 100 KgI do feel uncomfortable in my feet joints but might be due to my weight though

This would be okay for healthy person, but not really good for me with my bad back. The handle to release ankle holder is too short and I've had to attach some string to use it. It is also unsuitable for full inversion, as it puts a tremendous strain on my back when trying to return upright.

I purchased the Innova Health and Fitness ITX 9600 Heavy Duty Deluxe Inversion Therapy Table back in 2017, and here I am in December 2024, still enjoying its benefits. This table has held up impressively over the years, showing no signs of wear despite consistent use.One of the standout features is how effectively it stretches and decompresses my back. It’s been a game-changer for relieving tension and improving my overall back health. The build quality is excellent, and the table feels sturdy and secure, even after all these years.I’d consider this one of the best purchases I made in the last decade. It’s a durable, reliable product that delivers real results for anyone dealing with back discomfort or simply looking for a great inversion experience.Highly recommended for anyone considering an inversion table—it’s worth every penny!
