Does this table allow full inversion (upside down)? Thank you all for your responses.

You might be a couple degrees away from a complete 180, but it is pretty close. When you are on it, it feels like complete inversion. It can be adjusted.

Yes it does. As others have mentioned, the safety strap can control the degree of inversion. The Exerpeutic has to be one of the best values in an inversion table. I haven't found one thing about it that I don't like.

Yes or close to it, the range at which you invert is controlled by the strap which is adjustable on the underside of the table and frame.

Yes completely. I love and use for a couple of minutes a day. I will get a cushion cover because it is a little hard for me but I am too skinny.

I think its like 97% inversion, but for 1/3rd the price of teeter hangups, it works pretty well. I have been using it everyday now and very happy with the purchase.

Yes it does allow full inversion....it has an adjustable safety strap that allows you to choose what degree you want to invert at. It is said to start inverting at 35% and overtime work your way to full inversion.

Yes, it does. But you have to have the height set just right for your center of gravity. Play around with the adjustments until you can go all the way upside down - try setting it for a couple inches shorter than you actually are.

As long as the unit is set-up / adjusted correctly for the user's height, it seems to do really well at balancing around the user's center-of-gravity, so that moving one's arms makes the table invert. I have not gone fully inverted yet but have had no problems getting back upright, usually just a slight pull on the handrails & move my arms toward my legs works. I'd suggest starting with smaller degrees of inversion & build up.

I am wondering if you flipped everything around and used the table top upside down if you could reverse it??

First I believe anyone wanting to use this or any inversion table should consider their medical needs. I would begin by Google searching health warnings for using an inversion table, for example there may be warnings for those with high blood pressure. With that said and before I explain any further you might like to know that there is a safety strap that clips to the table. This strap prevents the table from going fully inverted. To control how quickly you invert you slowly raise your arms up over your head, one at a time. To return to upright you reverse that movement bringing your arms back to your side or the handles at your hip level. The instructions then state that the best way to return to upright is to bend your knees rather than lifting your head. Bending your knees slowly lifts your body to the upright starting position.

Heck ya! You can invert at any angle. I don't invert all the way ever cause i have several problems with knee and back. My doc says he's all for inversion even though I've had back surgery and knee replacement, so long as i don't hang totally upside down. 60 degrees is what he says max angle should be for me. I love this thing and it does reduce my pain significantly. I'm 52 and have lost 2" of my height and can actually tell height increase after use. Buy it and you will use it! (+ friends and kids) It has a belt you can adjust angle and prevents it from going all the way down. Hope this helps. KEEP MOVING! Good Luck! , Paul

Yes, they are bigger and more secure than a lot of other inversion tables. This is one thing I really noticed when choosing which to buy. We love it!

it a plug and hole system. push the plug it slides down. Its hard enough that children cannot do it. I dont think we turned the table upside down. I had my grown son do it for me.

yes- can be adjusted from true vertical to forward positon angulated toward end of table- easy to adjust. I am very happy with the quality of this unit- But- if you intend to purchase- be aware that it is very heavy. I removed the contents and carried each component separately to my chosen location for set up.

There is a strap to control the amount of inversion . I use mind at about 60 degrees. If you go to a full 90 degree inversion there are handle bar to pull yourself back up if you don't have the pivots set so your arm movement will allow it to come back up. You don't have to go the full 90 degree to get the benefits of the table. I have use one now for about 8 years. This unit was an upgrade for my older cheaper version.

Yes...excellent inversion table, can also lock into several degrees. You can also do inverted sit ups...

Glad you asked a question. This inversion table is TERRIBLE! Hard to assemble, and badly designed. I had a CHAMP before and it was PERFECT! This one is large and does not fold for storage -- the CHAMP does fold, but not easily, as it's large. I wish I never bought this one, but I moved and gave away my CHAMP, ordered this thinking it would work. It's AWFUL!!!! Glad I can save you from buying one.

Its a great table for the price and accessories, but no mam it does not lift on one side, but its a great table I prefer it often over my more expensive one, enjoy

No, it's not upside down, it look like upside down because of the thumb holes. I bought these for my coin before and it work fine.

I am assuming you are asking the weight capacity of the inversion table. All of the ones I have seen have a maximum weight capacity of 250lbs.

yes, it can be flipped down. a wooden rectangular slot comes out from the side to hold the 'folding table' like a 'T'. Its pretty sturdy..

I would not hang upside down from this thing. Not ever. I have a power rack that I do pull ups from, so I only use this for knee raises and dips.
