using inversion therapy to treat low
back pain and help people keep active.

Inversion works like this: When you
tilt back on the table, it uses your body
weight and gravity naturally, creating
something called progressive decompression. It essentially does the reverse of the
compression that occurs while you stand.
This kind of stretch can help relieve back
pain, improve circulation, relieve stress
and fatigue, increase oxygen flow to the
brain, strengthen
ligaments, build
core strength,
encourage proper
posture—the list
goes on and on.
Many doctors,
physical therapists
and sports trainers
use inversion to
prevent compression, fatigue and
joint injuries. Teeter
has also been
endorsed by ultramarathoners, Olympic
athletes, cyclists and golfers.
The Teeter model 600ia that Costco
is carrying (Item #670978) offers several
enhancements, such as an improved
ankle system, a DVD with fitness routines and an adjustable lumbar/neck
support. Costco’s price shows a $50
savings or greater to regular retail.
Always consult your
doctor before trying
inversion or beginning
any type of new exercise regimen. C
