I am 5'6" and was tempted to get the mini version of this table, but my 6'2" husband wants to use it too. I have 2 herniated disks & work as a teacher. My daily 30- min. Commute has been very rough. Tried it and the teeter side- by- side, and this one felt much more comfortable. I felt the stretch immediately. The locking handles helped me feel in-control & safe. Get the extra pillows for the lumbar & neck area.

ok, I normally don't do this kind of stuff but I had to write this to let you know about this table.

I'm not a salesperson, just a normal guy who's day to day life has been over the last 5 years or so been racked with lower back pain. I did the chiropractor so many times and it helped right after treatment for a few days but always came back, each and every time. You probably know the drill if you're reading this. She always told me to do stretching exercises which I didn't seem to take the time for.

This last Christmas, my wife had me close my eyes brought out my gift. My kids and her brought out the Inversion table, this same exact one and I was expecting a guitar as I play at church and then got this. I said thanks, she said I could take it back and get the guitar if I wanted to. She spent what I thought at the time was a lot of money on this table. Turns out it was the best thing ever for me.

Later that evening I got on the Back A Traction for the first time. After I got off I was amazed at how good my back felt. So much that I tried it again before I went to bed that evening.

When I awoke that very next morning and started to get out of bed what would normally be painful wasn't for the first time in years. I was totally FLOORED by the lack of pain in my lower back.

I went immediately out and got on it that morning, once again at noon and again that evening, stretching for 5 min. at a time, sometimes a bit more.

Today is Jan. 31st, 2011. I've been pain free since Dec. 26th due to this machine. Again I have zero connections to this company but just know what it did for me. Needless to say I didn't take it back for the guitar. Worth every dollar you'll spend. I've since recommended it to many of my friends with back pain.

If you are in pain, don't hesitate another second, buy this, use it. It changed my life and will change yours.

This table provides INSTANT relief for back pain. I returned last week from a flight that blocked my lower back. I was in agony whether I stood up, sat down or laid down. Ibuprofen did not help and the stretching exercises made it worse. I had in the past tried other tables without any success. I have had a bulging disc, arthritis and some scoliosis since years. I decided to stop by the Relax the Back store near my house, desperate. Hunter was so knowledgeable and helpful. He walked me through all the steps into utilizing the table efficiently. It made a huge difference to know that he is as well a back sufferer who firmly believes in this table. It took 10 minutes of trying the table and once I got up, I already noticed improvement. I felt lighter and calmer. That same night, and the following nights, I slept like never before. I found much more than relief ... the beginning of a healing process! I will purchase this table as I believe it is transforming my life. I am adjusting now to feeling well as it has only been a few days since trying the table.
