This table also boasts a durable tubular steel frame construction with a scratch-resistant powder-coated finish, as well as a tough nylon backrest that is very durable and comfortable to use.
The Ironman employs an easy to use inversion system which works in the following manner: once you rest your body against the nylon backrest, slip your feet into the ergonomically moulded ankle cushions and then reach your arms over your head.
As your arms get lifted, your body will gradually invert up to 90 degrees with a little energy input from you and help from gravitational forces.
Below are some of the key highlights of this table:
- Durable tubular steel frame
- Tough nylon backrest which is very durable yet still comfortable to use.

While it wasn't that easy putting the table together using the manual and detailed instructions provided, it wasn't rocket science either.
It took my sister and I about 45 minutes to assemble it and have it ready for use.
The very first night I used it, I almost immediately felt the impact deep inside my lower back.
I now use my table a couple of times a day for a few minutes whenever I feel a bit of discomfort.
Although it works well in providing me with short term relief, I hope that it will be able to improve on my back condition in the long term.
In short, this inversion therapy table is affordably priced and therefore ideal for consumers who like myself are looking to try out inversion therapy for the very first time.
Although I believe that I got good value for the money I spent on this table, there are some shortcomings that I have to point out.
First of all, I wish there was a better means of getting out of the inverted position.
At the moment I have to bend at the waist and sit up.
I therefore cannot control the rate at which I sit up.
Because of my back condition, when I sit up in this way after pulling and stretching my lower back, I feel very uncomfortable because of my herniated disc causes me discomfort whenever I try to bend or twist.
