The Teeter Hang Ups blends easy-to-use function with a multi-faceted approach to target back pain and joint health, helping you to a better back, better body.
Total Control Rotate and relax on our precision-balanced system, which allows you to control the speed and rotation with simple arm movements. Results in Minutes Achieve a natural stretch with your own body weight and gravity to decompress your back and weight-bearing joints in just minutes a day. The "Perfect" Stretch Progressive decompression allows each joint to be decompressed by the same weight that compresses it while upright. This "perfect" stretch helps naturally relieve your back pain, and helps keep your weight-bearing joints healthy, putting you on the path to a better back, better body. No Pain, All Gain! Benefits begin at a gentle 20 degrees, and total decompression is achieved at 60 degrees. At a full 90 degrees, you can conduct deep stretches and exercises that target your abs and increase your flexibility! Medical StudiesManjunath Prasad KS, Gregson BA, Hargreaves G, Byrnes T, Mendelow AD. Regional Neurosciences Centre, Newcastle General Hospital, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK.Nachemson, Alf, et al: Intravital Dynamic Pressure Measurements in Lumbar Discs. 1970. Study measured internal disc pressure (in the 3rd lumbar disc) through a range of activities, including standing, sitting, bending and vertical and supine traction. The study suggests that a traction load of 60% body weight is sufficient to reduce the residual pressure of 25% standing body weight to zero. Nosse, L.: Inverted Spinal Traction. Arch Phys Med Rehabilitation; 59: 367-370, Aug 78. Study found EMG activity (an indicator of muscle pain) declined 35% within the first 10 seconds of inversion. Study found that inversion increases the spinal length. Study concluded there is a correlation between a reduction in EMG activity and an increase in spinal length. Kane, M, et al: Effects of Gravity-facilitated Traction on Intravertebral Dimensions of the Lumbar Spine. Jour of Orthopedic and Sports Phys Ther. 281-288, Mar 85. Study found gravity-facilitated traction (inversion), produces significant intravertebral separation in lumbar spine. Study concluded gravity facilitated traction may be an effective modality in the relief of low back pain. Sheffield, Frederick J. Lt. Col., MC. Adaptation of Tilt Table for Lumbar Traction.The therapeutic success obtained with this method of treatment, it is felt that the main basis for improvement was because of the stretching of the paraspinal vertebral muscles and ligaments and possibly the widening of the intervertebral disks. |
