YOLEO Gravity Heavy Duty Inversion Table with Headrest & Adjustable Protective Belt Back Stretcher Machine for Pain Relief Therapy | Inversion Table w/ Lumbar Support | Easy to Assemble | Back Stretcher Machine 300 lbs

This was purchased for my Wife who suffers with chronic back pain as the result of a Brachial Plexus injury caused by a motorcycle accident many moons ago leaving her also with a paralysed left arm. A friend of mine who is a personal trainer suggested it and to be honest my Wife was willing to try anything after been on countless different pain killers for years on end!. After doing some online research and comparing prices etc, I decided on this particular model by YOLEO. It's competitively priced and I liked the look of it to be honest 😁 I've listed the manufacturer specs / features below (the relevant bits)... YOLEO Inversion Table Info: ★Easily adjustable to suit most user heights. ★Designed to improve blood circulation and posture. ★Increases energy levels and mental alertness. ★Improves body flexibility and reduces back pain. ★Comfortable wrap-around ankle holders. ★Folds away for easy transport and storage. ★Stimulates your lymphatic system ★Weight: 23KG ★Dimensions: 49 x 32 x 4.7 inches So what's it actually like? Well to be honest when it first arrived I thought "I bet this is going to be a nightmare putting it together!", but luckily it was actually very simple and only took me 15 minutes thanks to the company sending me a video link showing you how to set it up which really did make it easy, so hats off to them for that firstly 👍 My Wife actually suggested I had a go first as she jokingly said it looked like a prop from a Dominatrix movie hehehe 😵 I found it very easy to use although I was a tad nervous to start with. I tilted it to about a 45° angle and leisurely hung for about 2-3 minutes. I must admit I was skeptical at first but after actually being on it I did notice the difference. You can feel the weight being taken off of your spine and I felt what can only be described as a 'Whooshing' feeling going down my back and in to my legs (strange but not uncomfortable). Well after my Wife realised if wasn't all that scary looking she decided to have a go. I helped my Wife on to it as having the use of only one arm she wouldn't be able to safely do it herself. We started off at the suggested low angles (30° - 45°) and at intervals of 1-2 minutes just so my Wife could get used to it. Has it helped? Truthfully yes it has. My Wife said instantly she could feel the pressure being lifted from her back and neck which in turn aleviated a lot of the pain so result 😁 The added bonus is that everyday seems to get better each time she uses it. We've been using it 3 times a day (Morning - Afternoon - Evening) and on average 3-5 minutes. It's not a miracle cure and I would be lieing if I said it was but what I will say hand on heart is, it's really helped my Wife's pain by about 60% which is an absolute dream for her bless her!. I will add to this review as time goes by keeping you updated on any pros or cons but for now we're really impressed and happy with it and would have no hesitation recommending it. Price: 👍 Ease of use: 8/10 Quality: 9/10

This might be the best money I've ever spent on Amazon. I have facet joint degeneration of the lower spine which has become so painfully debilitating in the last year that anything more than a few minutes on my feet was excruciating. This arrived last week and we assembled it on Thursday evening (I took 2 tramadol so I could help / supervise - so they were probably working when 30 minutes later it was assembled - use the YouTube video as you do - it's not in the same order as the instructions but it's much easier to follow) Once assembled I climbed on and we strapped me in and my husband helped me invert myself (push not pull to go backwards LOL). I was only upside down for a couple of minutes and to be honest I was mildly terrified, I'm rather overweight and the fear that my feet might fall off or that I'd be stuck was very real - my husband said he was going to get his phone from the lounge and in a panicked voice I begged him to please not leave me ..... cruel monster that he is - he did :-) I decided to have a go at turning myself upright again and ta-da .... I was the right way round again - and I was able to bend down and unhook my feet (he'd had to hook them in) and I wasn't in pain any more - now bear in mind I'd taken my tramadol before starting assembly so it was probably working at this point but I was able to stand up straight for the first time in many months - I'd been not quite upside down for less than 3 minutes The only way to validate what it had done was to not take my bedtime pain killers and see what the morning was like - I awoke and I wasn't in pain. Don't get me wrong my lower back still felt like it was squished, but the nerve pain that had been my constant companion for months wasn't there. I went downstairs strapped myself in (alone his lordship was still in bed) and inverted myself again for a couple of minutes and then dismounted and got to working from home as normal - except without any pain medication at all ...... (my last tramadol had been 6:30 the previous evening) I'm writing this on Wednesday a week later - I still haven't taken another tramadol (I did take 2 co-codamol on Saturday evening but I'd been on my feet for an hour making a massive vat of bolognese - this is the only pain relief I've taken since 6:30pm last Thursday) In total since then I've probably spent about 15 minutes in total not at full inversion - whatever angle the middle set of holes is. If I get a bit 'ouchie' I go for a quick dangle and the pressure in my back instantly eases. I can feel that the vertebrae in my lower spine still feels 'too close together' but the nerves aren't screaming all the time any more. I have a back massage bi-weekly and I saw her on Monday - when I was able to walk in without being hunched and I could pick my feet up as I walked she was shocked ..... when she could actually massage my lower back properly without me hurting she was even more shocked ..... when I was able to sit up at the end without having to slide my legs off the bed or push myself up with my arms - well it was like a moment from a cartoon - mouth open and eyes boggling. She's had to re-write all her notes LOL I had an MRI last Tuesday so my spinal surgeon could see how messed up it is in there. I'm seeing him again next Monday and he might want a new MRI done now - LOL oopsie but Bupa can take the hit - I don't think I'm going to escape surgery on my back that seems to be inevitable but to be mostly pain free for the first time in at least 2 years is simply magical. I highly recommend this product - so much so that my massage therapist and her husband who both have lower back pain are coming over this week to have a go on mine to see if it works for them

Ok so I'm 6ft 3 ,and I would strongly suggest if you are 6ft ideally or over then this is not for you. The description says fits up to 6ft 4 but this isn't true so beware and save yourself all the aggravation of setting it up. Set up was pretty tedious with the silly Allen key supplied as all the bolts are really badly located and so you can only turn a really small amount each time making the process very long,this is just bad design and to be honest it's the worst thing about it apart from it not fitting,but if you were keeping it your only have to do it once..I did it twice as I sent it back. Once erected it's quite solid, now the problem for me was that i could stand in it with my feet on the platform but my shoulders were touching the foam rests,so when i flipped upside down all the weight went straight to my shoulders so i was effectively doing a shoulder stand not hanging from my feet as it should be. So yes I fit 'in ' it but it's not fit for purpose, so for that reason it was sent back, and if you are over 6ft I would not bother buying as you're wasting your time, putting all the weight onto your shoulders will without doubt lead to other problems in that area. When I first flipped upside down the first thing I thought was my God I havent been upside down since I was about 10 years old (I'm 40 odd now) so that was odd and not particularly nice either but I could feel my back stretch a bit but I noticed more all the pressure on my shoulders. So in short it's a solid bit of kit,hassle to put together and probably great if you're under 6ft. Personally whatever size you are I would suggest just finding a tree and hanging off a branch!! Seriously,you'll save all the money,you'll be out with nature and breathing in good air,you'll be stretching your back the correct way without making blood rush to your head which cant be great. Seller was helpful throughout the and offered money off to keep it but it's of no use to me so arranged a courier for collection without hassle.

Easy to put together I done it on my own .very sturdy , well made .

I've had this a couple of days now, and there are two aspects to my review: the product itself and the benefits of the treatment. First off, the box this arrives in is heavy. I have the inverter upstairs and needed to partially empty the box before carrying it upstairs to assemble. The assembly instructions are, like others have noted, poor. The illustrations are not that clear and if you haven't put something like this together before (like a chair or an exercise machine) you may struggle. Having said that, the bolts are well packaged and labelled and all the parts look different - which is vital for the illustrations to be of any help! It took me about half an hour to put together without rushing. It's clear the machine is solid and well-built. There are some nice touches and important safety features. Overall, I would say the machine is good value for money and I feel perfectly safe using it. The height calibrations aren't accurate, so you need to experiment with those. I'm 189cm and have it set for a lower height. It's to do with having your weight evenly balanced either side of the pivot, so that getting into the inverted position, and more importantly out of it, is straightforward and effortless. My height means my head dangles off the end of the headrest. It's not ideal, but is okay. My remaining niggle with it, is that the lumbar support needs to be a lot firmer. It gets squashed/flattened very easily! For the treatment itself, I have used it a few times at the second notch down for 3 minutes at a time. The recommendation is to use it for 3-5 minutes. I slipped a disc last year and have ongoing back issues as a result. Some minor sciatica, but also some nerve entrapment that is affecting my toes. Inverting myself on this machine is providing instant relief. It is clearly decompressing my back and releasing pressure all along it, reducing pressure on the nerves and getting the spine into a better shape. After only a few uses, my back feels better and more flexible. I will use it several times a day initially: first thing, in the afternoon and last thing at night. It only takes a few minutes, and it shouldn't take long for the effects to become long-lasting. After that, daily maintenance (again, just a few minutes!) should be enough to keep my back in better shape. I really can't recommend this treatment enough. And this machine is great value for money (at £135, anyway) for you to get it.

I have suffered from sciatica for a number of years and when really bad can be disabling and excruciating. After using this inversion table once a day for three days (3 minutes at a time) my sciatica is gone and after continuous use has not returned. It’s fantastic! As a bonus I no longer get backache either as proved this week after doing two hours in the garden of heavy digging! I can’t believe how well the table works especially for old bodies like mine (I am 71). I couldn’t be without this now and highly recommend to anyone with serious back or hip pain. It is easy to assemble (I did this on my own in 30 mins) and is very sturdy. You feel completely safe when inverted. I personally don’t do full inversion. I only go as far as the safety bar which for me works fine. When first using it is perhaps best to have someone to hand in case you can’t get back up easily, although I didn’t have that problem. My husband also uses the table for his aching back and he too has found it works for him. The table is also great for improving bad posture. Best thing I have ever bought.

This machine is amazing has helped me so much with my osteoarthritis of spine. Relieves the pressure on vertebrae so less pain & makes me feel more awake. Reason I gave 4 stars is when I opened to assemble 4 of the pads where u put your feet were clearly warn & used u could tell different very obviously between them & the other two. I havent asked for replacents altho if they are offered I will change my review. Other than that a great sturdy machine that takes a little time to put together but 2 people much easier

Very well thought out and nicely made. It is very sturdy and feels safe in action. It took about an hour to put together and the instructions were clear. There is no safety belt included (one is shown in the listing) I don't think I would use one anyway. I bought this for a bad back. It fixed my back in 3 sessions of 10 minutes. I am 100% impressed with this table. I would not recommend using the table after having a cup of tea and a big piece of Christmas cake (as I did).

Good product

In the past few years, my lumbar disc herniation has oppressed my nerves, I can't sit on the bed for more than an hour. I can't sit still after I wake up, I cry every day. That time in my life was really hard. It is useless to take medicine, physical therapy is useless as well, and the doctor says that it is necessary to get surgery. However, the success rate of the surgery is not high. Later on, I met a master who learned Wudang Kungfu and spent three months helping me massage. Since then, I have been very careful, I don’t even dare to do heavy work, and I changed my career to a job where I don’t have to do heavy work, a cash register. I met a friend who likes sports a few months ago. After knowing that my waist is not good, he told me to exercise. He recommended this inverted machine to me, saying that it is very good for the waist and it’ll be very helpful for me. I am a person who does not like sports. After he has repeatedly advised me, I decided to buy this machine. It took some time to assemble when the goods arrived, and the machine can be tailored to adjust the length according to the height distance. For safety, the foot is bound to the sponge shop below. I tried this machine. When I first did it, I felt that my brain was congested and my waist was stretching very well. After I finished, I felt that my waist was a little easier. I believe that day after day, my waist will recover even better. Inversion therapy is very expensive for every visit. Home therapy is more convenient, effective, and it saves my time and money. This stretcher machine helps relieve my back pain, I can adjust the length of the machine according to my height and I can also put my feet on the bottom cushions so it can hold me when I exercise. This stretcher has helped me with my back and I feel better using it on a daily basis.

Super table malgré un encombrement important. J’ai soigné deux hernies discales grâce a la table (et des exercices de gainage). Impression étrange de bascule tête en bas au début mais on s’y fait vite. Ajustement avec règle graduée précise. Facile à monter seul.

Wir besitzen diese Inversionsbank nun seit einigen Wochen und die Schmerzen sind eindeutig besser geworden und an manchen Tagen nahezu wie weg. Das Gerät selber ist gut verarbeitet und bietet alles was man braucht. Wir wollen dieses Gerät definitiv nicht mehr missen und würden es uns immer wieder bestellen. Ein einziges Manko bietet lediglich die Aufbauanleitung, welche an einigen Stellen einiges an Fragen aufwirft und kaum hilfreich war. Zum Aufbau haben wir aber ein Video auf YouTube von dem Hersteller selber gefunden, womit der Aufbau gut zu bewältigen war.

Also ehrlich gesagt war auch ich etwas skeptisch, was sich allerdings als völlig unbegründet erwiesen hat. Das Paket kam früher als erwartet und super verpackt. Alles sehr stabil und robust,wirklich gute Qualität. Zu große Bohrlöcher kann ich nicht bestätigen, es war alles genau so wie es sein sollte. Der Aufbau war einfach, ich habe es ebenfalls über das YouTubeVideo gemacht, da die Gebrauchsanweisung komplett in englisch ist. Nach Aufbau direkt ausprobiert und meine Kreuzschmerzen hatten sich fast in Luft aufgelöst^^ Ich bin absolut zufrieden und würde es jederzeit weiterempfehlen. Ich bin wirklich absolut begeistert! Allerdings ist mir völlig unverständlich wie man dieses Gerät als gefährlich bezeichnen kann. Es ist überhaupt kein Problem wieder in die Ausgangsstellung zu kommen, egal aus welcher Position.
