After 2 days of using an inversion table I started to get really excited about the therapy/training and how I was feeling. I basically couldn’t wait to invert again on day 3. However, I finally ran into one issue that I have with inversion therapy - congestion.
After fully inverting on day 2 I was completely ready to do the same on day 3, and I was going to incorporate slightly swinging back and forth into the routine to better stretch my hips and lower back areas. However, I didn’t realize how hard it is to hang upside down while congested and stuffed up. Even though I felt fairly comfortable on my Teeter F7000S inversion table, I still didn’t want to go fully inverted without having about 2 minutes to allow my body to slowly adjust to the change. It was in those two minutes that I realized this was not going to be as easy as it was the previous two days.
I found it much more difficult to breath while congested and hanging upside down, and I may have decided to skip the day except for the fact that I felt so great after my first two days (in other words I was very lucky this didn’t happen to me on day one). So I powered through it - breathing slowly and only out of my mouth I fully inverted and hung for a total of 5 minutes. While this was a little bit less than what I wanted to do, I was glad I at least got five minutes of inversion table use in.

Many people have asked what is the best way to use an inversion table. Because of this, I’ve decided to write a short guide on what it was like for me during my first week of using my inversion table - what I learned then, how it was for me to adjust to the table, and the different experiences I had…all with the goal of making it easier for you to see what it is like beforehand. In my first post about “Using An Inversion Table, Day 1, I talked about what it was like the very first time I started an inversion table therapy routine (if you haven’t read that one yet, I would suggest to before this post). Now it’s time for me to write how it was during day 2.
Using and Inversion Table - Day 2

Day 2 was even better than day one. I wasn’t nervous at all about how to use or how to adjust the inversion table. I did make one slight adjustment so I could more easily invert 100%, as per the instructions which I left attached to the table (it’s always best practice to leave those attached to the table to make it easy for others to make these adjustments and just in case you have forgotten them, but you can also find inversion table instructions for most brands online in case something happened to yours). Basically, I adjusted the roller hinge to the top or ‘A’ setting, which is the most responsive setting and is suggested for those who do want to fully invert. I was tempted to only invert about 70 degrees again, but decided that since everything went so well on my first attempt that I would leave it open for me to try full inversion if I so felt like it.
Using an inversion table the first day can be a little intimidating…but it can also be an amazing experience if you know what you are doing. My goal in these mini series of articles “Using an Inversion Table” is to help you see exactly what it is like to implement inversion table therapy into your everyday routine. There are many benefits of an inversion table, but frankly you won’t ever be able to enjoy those benefits if you are too nervous to try or because you don’t know what you are doing and have a terrible experience during your first week of the therapy. Hopefully you can learn from my experience as I learn how to use an inversion table and write about it each day during the first week of trying it out.
How To Use An Inversion Table Starting Day 1
First of all, you need to get your doctor’s approval. I had recently undergone a physical and knew I was good to go. However, that did not prevent me from taking things slowly the first day. It is very highly recommended to take things slow to let you adjust to handing upside down. Basically, after I set up the inversion table (the Teeter F7000S is extremely easy to set up - anyone can do it) I read through all the instructions, which are attached to the inversion table. This part is very important, as there are different settings for each table that need to be adjusted according to your height and weight.

Before I used an inversion table for the first time I tried to find a good, in-depth inversion table reviews about how to use the machine, what to expect, and tips for being able to get the most out of the experience. Unfortunately, I didn’t find a great one. However, I did get some good tips from my father-in-law (who was the person to convince me of the benefits of inversion tables to begin with), which helped out tremendously. With that experience in mind, I wanted to share my experience on a day-to-day basis as I learned how to use inversion tables.
Purchasing an Inversion Table
The first thing I needed to do was to purchase an inversion table. Once again, I started online trying to find a good review of the latest inversion table models available. The best place I found was amazon.com - that was the best site to see not only the cost of inversion tables but also which ones were best sellers and got the best reviews from actual buyers. The inversion tables I was considering were:
