Product Description
When your back relaxes, life becomes more enjoyable! The Health Mark Pro Inversion Table provides the most support and comfort of any table in its class. With a transition bed constructed of 840 nylon denim, you can trust that your back will be fully supported in the correct alignment as you transition from horizontal to any chosen angle. Inversion Therapy has been proven to help decompress the spine, allowing for increased circulation along the spinal column and a reduction of muscle stress, fatigue and lower back pain; or utilize rhythmic traction to achieve total relaxation and increased mental alertness. Inversion Therapy is also useful in the temporary relief of varicose veins and lymphatic fluid accumulation in the lower extremities. There are areas in your life where it is wise save or conserve money. This is not the case when it comes to your health or your safety. When a company implements cost cutting measures during manufacturing of products, those measures will undoubtedly affect the structural integrity of the product, and transitively the safety of the user. The best and safest inversion tables on the market should never be determined by the lowest price tag or the heaviest construction weight. There are certain intangibles that must be considered. For example the nylon denim firmness and quality, the transitional bearings found only on the Health Mark tables, the tubular steel thickness, the stability of the frame as designated by the front split leg design, the ease of use provided by the short hook handlebars opposed to wrap-around handles which create back strain when used for transitioning, and the integrity of ankle locking mechanisms. Ultimately the safety and effectiveness of any inversion table will not be determined by any aesthetic coloring, stitching or molding; nor by any accessory which may be sold with it.

This product has been most satisfactory -- sturdy and well made. There is a considerable amount of assembly, but don't let the instruction manual frighten you! All of the parts have been carefully placed where you'll need them, and lots of pre-assembly set-up took place before packaging.

When I looked at these my back was killing me (pinched nerve) and the last thing I wanted was one that weighed 80lbs. This one was lighter than the others I looked at so I decided to try it and hope it was not too flimsy. It was perfect.
The pipes that hold it up are about 1 and 1/4 in diameter, made out of strong metal and don't appear likely to bend. The instructions were terrible and tell you to put the handles on backwards. Use the Amazon picture as a guide. The nylon covers that protect you from being pinched are also rather mysterious as they have long straps that would seem to have some function but don't. Other than that the unit works well and adjusts to different heights.
Be sure to adjust it to your height because if you don't, the unit won't come out of the upside down position as easily. Normally all you have to do is place your arms at your side to be in reach of the handles and able to right yourself. After using the unit for a week my back is 100% better.
For those of you who are thinking of using this for ab work, it does not work for that. Trying to bend causes the unit (as it is supposed to) to bring your feet back down.
After being in pain for over a month I HIGHLY recommend it for back issues. Be aware that you may have some muscle pain at first, especially if your issues stemmed from carrying heavy loads on one side of your body. Since the muscles are contracting unevenly, stretching them out can cause some mild discomfort. This is worth it when compared to the relief it gives. It stopped the pain my back after only a few minutes.
UPDATE: This did wonders for my back in a very short time, but I want to add that it DOES NOT fold up very well. It is extremely bulky and hard to store. Also the rubber tips come off of the legs if you try to stand it up after you fold it. This can put some nasty scratches on your floor if you aren't careful.

I have became ^ ^ part BAT after suffering a broken back and a failed surgical procedure. I am experientially - . - something of an "expert". Believe me, if THIS table has saved me from many hours of suffering, it can, you, too.
I just can't get the lift back into my thoracic (mid back) spine until I get on this table. This inversion table is designed to allow you to "HANG FREE" from the black cloth "bed" or "table" as they call it. (But, you can flip ONLY as far as you want.)
As far as I am concerned, you can't really get a good stretch to your spine, allow it to assume its natural shape without-the-influence-of-gravity, like a baby floating in the womb, without this "HANG FREE' feature. Part-way just doesn't do it.
I don't know if there is a way to determine if any of the other offered inversion tables will allow you to do this without actually trying them. So, DON'T TAKE A CHANCE on others. Just, BUY THIS ONE, BECAUSE, THIS ONE WILL! The $100-$150 ones don't. This one is definitely worth the money. As the others have written, it is good and sturdy. If you really want to use it therapeutically, you will need to leave it up and use it once or twice a day.
It is the next best thing to submersion up-to-your-chin in a pool to take the stress off your entire spine. It increases the flow of spinal fluid, helps the return of lymph back to the blood stream (your body's toxic waste eliminator).
Please, if you think it is too expensive, just think about the cost of buying one that doesn't hang free or isn't sturdy and having to return it! Man! that mistake is literally a physical and mental challenge to repack one of these in its original packing!
