While this is not a running product directly, back problems are prevalent, so I thought I would include this in this site. I have had [[Back Surgery]], and need to look after my spine.
Having read lots of reviews, I decided it was worth getting a 'quality' product, rather than getting the cheapest available. If I am going to be suspended by my ankles, I figured I wanted to be confident in the quality of my support. The most highly recommended make is Teeter, so I ordered the EP-550 from Amazon.com for $299. ([http://wwwgo.fellrnr.com?id=35454X937677&xs=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com/Teeter%2FTeeter-Hang-Ups-EP-550-Inversion/dp/B0017LAORK%29 http://www.amazon.com/Teeter-Hang-Ups-2Fdp%2FB0017LAORK EP-550-Inversion/dp/B0017LAORK)from Amazon.com]for $299. The inversion table is heavy. If you have a back problem, you will need lots of help getting the table into the house and assembling it. The box is marked as needing two people to lift it, and they are not joking. Assembly is not difficult, but the instructions and pictures are not as clear as I would like. They provide a DVD with great instructions, but of course, I only looked at that after I was all done. RTFM.
The build quality is something I would expect to find in a gym rather than home equipment. The table is very solidly made, and everything moves smoothly and with precision.
