Is it difficult to bring yourself back to an upright position to when you want to get off the table?

Not difficult at all, basically move your arms towards your feet and the table will return you to the upright position

Returning to the upright position is surprisingly easy! Be sure to view the contents of the DVD... it is loaded with valuable information about usage as well as assembly.

It is alittle bit. I hold on to the bars, and bend my knees (bringing your weight towards your feet). Theres a point where your center of gravity flips the table back to the starting position. If you find it hard I would lower the feet harness (before you begin) so that your center of gravity is more towards feet then your head. That way when you want to flip back it takes less effort. good luck

Depends on how well you can hit back. The majority of my balls go flying off the table and I have to stop every few minutes to pick them up.

I suppose by adjusting back legs differently . the point is for ease of leaving chair . it is a gentle tilt barely noticed.

No you cannot get stuck upside down, there is a safety strap to prevent you from pivoting too far and the grab handles are in a position where you can easily reach them from any position and it's very easy to flip back up once inverted. The manual has the proper technique you should follow, which my chiropractor confirmed. It's a smooth free motion not restricted by the machine and takes very little effort to hold a position or move to a new position

Yes you can go completely upside down if you take the stop bar off. Not a problem at all, I have been doing it daily for months. However, the manufacturer doesn't mention this in their paperwork. Just ensure secure and tight hold on your ankles for safety. When fully inverting, your back will come off the board several inches. This is great because it allows you to hang there and grab the frame and pull yourself and strectch in different directions to get the most of your inversion. With full inversion I have found I feel much better when I stretch in every possible direction as compared to just hanging there. To return to upright position on this table simply put one hand behind headrest pulling board back to your body. Using the other hand grab frame in front of you and began turning yourself over. Once you reach the point you can grab handrails, grab each and finish flipping yourself back upright (slowly to prevent headrush). A little practice and it's easy....And yes, table will adjust to your height.

If you have this set to your height.. while tipping back you put one arm back at a time, its like a balancing act. To come back up you bring your arms from over your head slowly to your thighs. It has handles in case you cant manage it the first couple times to hold on to

I would say absolutely not. About a pound of pressure start up, push or pull bottom bar. Sometime you have to hold on to something to keep you down. You are not having to lift your weight at all. You will not stay down unless you want to, now its just a little fear of unknown. Just moving one arm carries you up or down. I feel it is therapeutic as well as instant relief.

No the top is NOT easy to get off - If you have problems with your hands, like arthritis this may not be the gas can for you.

Depending on the sofa...I think upright posture would prove more beneficial than sinking into a low sofa. Certainly, if you are using it for your arms, I think a sofa would prove difficult. I use it to exercise my shoulder and having the machine at table or desk height is imperative. For legs you might get away with a sofa -- it just all depends on the sofa and your back. Wouldn't the position from a sofa put extra strain on your back? I'm just conjecturing and thinking out loud on the keyboard. Other thoughts? Experience?

ASK Your Doctor. My guess is NO. I have seen inversion 'chairs' that tip you back in a more sitting position with bent knees that may be acceptable to you doctor.

Hi Elizabeth. I had to lay across the table and pull the lever UP while really putting my full body weight onto it. I'm not that big of a person and this method works well for me. Hope this helps.

You have to be able to push back in the chair. It is a little stiff and may become easier after I've had it awhile.

If you mean get stuck in full inversion by accident, I don't think so...have not experienced that. There is no pivotal control...just body weight balancing to adjust the inclination until you reach full inversion...balancing by extending your arms over your head.

Yes you can....there are settings to steup or step down depending on where you use it..

I experienced the same thing the first couple of times. Once the table is setup properly for my height, all I have to do is move my arms from my upper body to below my waist. You still need to bend down to unlatch the ankle locks, but your back will feel better after inverting a couple of time and the pressure comes off the nerve. I've had the 4--5 disc removed 20 years ago and experienced nervre pain occassionally, but this has help to eliminate that in two to three inversions.

I tried this position, but it does not work for me. I rarely take off the keyboard and prefer to use the table almost as a netbook.
