Sports reviews of Paradigm 500 Inversion Table System
Customer Review: Just what the Chiro ordered....
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
My Chiropractor strongly suggested I purchase an inversion table to help with my disc problems. After reading several reviews on Amazon I decided on the Paradigm 500 Inversion Table with some trepidation since I didn't have the opportunity to actually try it.
It arrived in less than 24 hours, assembly was extremely easy (even with current back issues) and I was on it for the first time in less than an hour.
A couple reviews admire the ratcheting ankle brackets which was ultimately what made up my mind. After using them I am extremely glad I went with the ratcheting version. My feet are held firmly in place without any discomfort allowing me to invert to a full 90 degrees and still feel comfortable and secure.
The entire system is well built, stable and comfortable. If I didn't know how much I paid for this table I would have thought it was in the $500 range that's how well it's built.
My back loves the relief I get from using the table, even my Chiro has noticed a significant difference in just a week. Granted I feel like a bat hanging upside down but I'm loving it.
If you are looking at inversion tables you can't go wrong with this purchase.
Customer Review: How to invert 90 degree
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Staying at 90 degree inversion: After get the bed to 90 degree inversion, user needs to keep the back off the bed (curve body a little) to keep the bed stay at 90 inversion (given that the bed is at the top hole and the boom adjusted to correct person's height). As soon as user straighten the body (back against the bed), the bed will return. This is a safety feature to prevent passing out and prevent new user to accidentally inverts to 90 degree and can't get out of it.
90 degree locking: This table does not "lock" at 90 degree inversion. User can keep the bed at 90 degree as described above
Ankle holders hurt: This ratchet system has two positions to install the foot platform. If user has small feet (shoes) and the platform installed at below hole, the ankle holders won't secure at the smallest part of the leg (ankle).
As a result, ankle holders are free to rotate and ankle holder metal plate squeezes. For user with small feet, foot platform should be installed at top hole.
Customer Review: Good balance point and responsiveness. Ankle clamps do not hurt!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have tried inversion tables from several different manufacturers. The main problem I've had is that the ankle supports with rollers hurt my Achilles tendon and feet (I'm 6'4", 225lbs); this is even the case with tables from the top-of-the-line inversion table manufacturer. This has prevented me from getting more than 45 degrees of inversion. I have tried wearing sneakers, thick boots, shower shoes, and even going barefoot but there was always pain.
This Paradigm table uses an ankle clamp with molded pads. The ratchet system lets me clamp it down nice and tight. When inverted, there is still a little pressure on my ankles, but it isn't painful. I can even use it without any shoes on. This table has let me be fully inverted without wincing in pain. My other table (the 3rd I've owned) is going back and I will be keeping the Paradigm.
If you have problems with rollers hurting your feet or ankles, try a table with molded ankle pads. It works for me.
Customer Review: Paradigm 500 inversion table
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is a truly great product. I am glad I bought this one, not the cheaper Paradigm version, and also glad I didn't spend a wad for the Cadillac versions. It took an hour and a half to put together, but not difficult. I use it every single day for about 40 minutes, and my lower back pain is benefiting from that. I have it adjusted to about 30 degrees because at my age a full inversion might be dangerous for the cerebral arteries. The foot restraints are not uncomfortable, at least at that angle, and the entire inversion table is very comfortable, easy to adjust for different people. I recommend using the highest setting on the hinge when you assemble it to make it easy to tilt and return to vertical. It's difficult to change that after you assemble. Everybody in the house uses it.Customer Review: Great product for the money
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have tried two of these inversion tables now and can say with confidence that for the money, this is a great product. I had borrowed a friend's Health Mark inversion table and while that is a much more expensive product, I think the two are comparable. The problem with the Health Mark was when you tried to release yourself from the leg straps, you had to bend over almost to the point of touching your feet. If your lower back was hurting, you couldn't do it without alot of pain. This unit has a very high release button that eliminates that problem. This unit also has better floor protection to keep your wood floors from being scratched. It is also has a much better pivot point to get yourself back to the standing position. For $200, it is as good as it gets!
