can the inversion be just slight, not all up side down?

Yes, it can be adjusted with the safety strap. I typically invert only 45 degrees most of the time.

Sure, whatever works for you. Complete inversion can be uncomfortable, especially at first. If you can eventually become accustomed to it, it probably is more effective but........whatever works best for you.

Yes for sure. You can do just a slight angle which I recommend to start with. I started at a pretty good angle and it made my legs really sore. I think I stretched the muslces out too far too fast. Believe it or not, just a slight angle for just 30-40 seconds does have an effect. You may not feel it right away but trust me, it's working!!!! I found that out the hard way! Hope this helps.

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 Heck ya! You can invert at any angle.

You start to get benefits at 60 degrees. There is a tether cord that you can set to whatever degrees you want, to make sure you don't go past your desired degree.

I don't think it is but if a full inversion is too much you can always restrict the angel how far you go down and that makes it even easier to get back up.

Yes, but because of the "scoop" side, one side will be a little odd. I guess you could turn it sideways or upside down.

If you mean all the way as in it will have your feet pointing straight up at the ceiling, then yes it can achieve that position. You can also adjust the strap to restrict the angle from going to a full inversion position.

You could ,BUT it may require another person to hold it inverted. You might be able to do inverted pull-ups using the handles and this may require someone to hold in inverted position. Very little shifting of weight from the pivot point will move this in either direction. I've seen pictures of people doing at least partial sit ups with no problem.

Yes. You can invert the controls to match too. I've mounted over 50 if them inverted with no problem.
2029322
You can control the angle. I don't know that you can be as precise as 10% or 20%, but I do know that it is very easy to control. There isn't sudden movement and you can control your angle by the angle of your arms. It's all detailed in the instructions included with the inversion table.

no there is no locking capability in the full inversion position. but you can set the belt to the maximum angel you want in angles less than 900 degree (this is not a locking mechanism)

You could, if you wanted, turn the speakers horizontally if the angle you want is too steep

Not that I'm aware of because there is a lip where it meets the bracket hole, when you insertthe bar, that keeps it in place & unable to drop any lower. I don't know how you would be able to do it in reverse.

If you mean, on the small side, as to take the least espace, no. It would be bound to overbalance. On its length, yes. But what would be the point?

it's really hard to say....my best recommendation would be to try to use one in a store or something. this is one of those things that you gotta try it to see if it works for you. i can't really say it's helping me too much, but my issue might be different than yours...also, you can set it not to go fully upside down, so you can do a low angle inversion if that works better for you...bottom line, make sure this is the product for you before you spend $300 - $400 on it...hope this helped !!

I can do a partial inverted sit up on it. I can't do a full inverted sit up because I'm not physically able to. I don't think it is as good for this application as gravity boots. However, I think someone in better shape could probably come up with something they were happy with. If you get carried away with it, you can shift your point of balance too much and it will go back over.

Yes the table does allow you to totally invert. It is adjustable with a bar for your angle. When you take the adjustable bat completely out you can be totally upside down.

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.

No, just the way the picture shows. You could try it the other way, but it would be straight up and down.

I suppose you could put some pressure on your abs. However, when I have to use the thing my back is killing me so I haven't. At full inversion I doubt you'll be able to do much of a sit up in a classic sense however.
