Teeter FitSpine LX9B Inversion Table

The NEW FitSpine Range from inversion table market leader Teeter in the USA.

A new FlexTech™ table bed supported by an 8-point suspension system that flexes as you move – the  flexible design maximizes decompression. Lumbar Support Bridge and Acupressure Nodes included. This top of the range LX9A model features a premium ankle locking mechanism and upgraded EZ Stretch traction handles, along with storage caddy and angle tether strap

The whole concept of inversion is a simple one. While inverted, your body weight creates traction that lengthens the spine by inceasing the space between the vertebrae. This pressure relief on the nerve roots and discs, means less pressure and therefore less pain.

The FitSpine LX9A can be easily adjusted for your body type, comfortable to use and a simple to fold and store.

Features:

• Premium Ankle Lock System and Boarding Platform Micro-adjusting extended handle reduces the need to bend when securing the ankles. Heavy duty Boarding Platform adds stability  and makes mounting and dismounting easier.
• FlexTech™ Table Bed  Supported by an 8-point suspension system that flexes as you move. Flexible design maximizes decompression.
• Upgraded Handles Extra-long Stretch Max Handles provide enhanced stretching and body positioning options. Traction Handles allow for deeper decompression, oscillation, and release from full inversion
• Storage Caddy Hold the contents of your pockets or personal items like a water bottle, keys, phone, or eyeglasses while inverting.
• EZ-Angle Tether Easily pre-set your inversion angle with color-coded markings at 20, 40, and 60 degrees
• Value-Added Accessories Release tension, increase circulation, and relieve muscle discomfort with Acupressure Nodes. Add the Lumbar Bridge, an adjustable, flexible and supportive lower back support for targeted decompression.
• The Teeter is an FDA-Registered 510(k) Medical Device indicated for back pain and related conditions. UL Listed Label demonstrates independent certification to meet the toughest quality standards.

So how does inversion really help ?

Realign: The back is supported by hundreds of ligaments and muscles that stabilize the spine but also hold it in compression. When the back moves out of alignment from bad posture, too much sitting, or rotational activities, this support structure holds the body in misalignment. Even while lying down, your spine maintains 25% of standing pressure. In order to decompress, the spine needs a traction force of at least 60% of your body weight, roughly equivalent to inverting at an angle of 60° on a Teeter. This type of progressive decompression naturally re-aligns the weight-bearing skeleton, promoting good posture.

Re-hydrate discs: Damaged discs can take a long time to repair since they don’t have a direct blood supply. Inverted decompression takes pressure off the discs, allowing them to widen and hydrate with nutrients that help expedite repair. The added cushion helps increase shock absorption and flexibility.

Reduce nerve pressure: Inverting on a Teeter has been clinically proven to increase intervertebral separation, helping to open up the passageway for nerve roots. Less pressure means less pain.

Strengthens ligaments: Loading ligaments naturally increases the collagen content for better joint support and injury prevention.

Increases joint lubrication: Decompression aids in joint lubrication by altering the pressure and suction forces within the joint, helping to stimulate the synovial fluid that nourishes cartilage.

Improves joint flexibility & range of motion: The restored moisture in the soft tissue promotes the longevity of joint performance. Encourages proper posture and body symmetry.

Relax tense muscles: Inverting to as little as 25° for a few minutes can help relax muscles and speed lymph flow. A study has shown that EMG activity (an indicator of muscle pain) was reduced 35% after only 10 seconds of inversion. (Nosse, L.: Inverted Spinal Traction. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 59: 367-370, Aug 78)

Decompression facilitates rapid re-hydration and the exchange of nutrients. Lost moisture in discs results in lost height and flexibility as you age.
