Teeter P2 Back Stretcher, Black/Blue

Love it! Suffered a severe MVA and required multiple surgeries including a neck fusion with titanium cage. I used to have a Teeter Handguns inversion table which I absolutely loved, but under doctor's orders can no longer do any kind of inversion (including yoga head stands, etc.). In fact, even lying flat on my bed with my head hanging off the side makes my legs go numb from the knees down. It's a real bummer since inversion therapy was so relaxing and therapeutic. I discovered this Teeter Back Stretcher while researching info on a similar item. I stumbled across it, and knowing the quality of Teeter products, reading the reviews and description of the product, decided to give it a try. I have intractable chronic pain in my neck as well as lower lumbar back directly due to injuries sustained in the car accident, and thought this might be worth the small investment. I'm SO glad I did! The Teeter Back Stretcher really does give a good, pain-free stretch to much needed areas in the lumbar spine, lower back and hip/glute/oblique areas that even yoga & Pilates couldn't reach (I say this as someone trained and certified in advanced levels of both disciplines). After the accident, I was required to modify any physical activity according to what my body can tolerate. Typical of Teeter products,, the machine is well-constructed, sturdy and looks/feels high quality, while the price is extremely reasonable. It also does exactly what the company says it will do. They don't promise miraculous results, just relief if the equipment is used faithfully and according to instructions. I have found that to be an accurate representation and highly recommend this item and vendor to anyone! (Check with your medical provider first before embarking on any health regimen, particularly if you, like myself, have a pre-existing injury.).

This back stretcher works Very hood !! Wish I knew about this before..am 6ft..227lbs..the pain in lower back gone ..so is most pain in mid leg...I have sciatica and this works!!

I was recommended this by a friend. He loves it. However, he is much shorter in stature. The images in the advertisement were all of women and I believe the stretcher would be perfect for someone under 5’10”. Unfortunately, the product doesn’t come with a means of adjustment. I gave it 4 stars because it’s well built and I can see how it can be a good product for someone shorter.

Didn’t do much for me

This is easier for many to use rather than a traditional inversion table or inversion boots. Persons with some conditions are even discouraged form using a traditional hanging upside down by your ankles device This works differently. You lay on the floor or on your bed or even you can sit in a chair to use the stretcher.You control the amount of stretch yourself. Remember it takes time to affect change. As with all stretching programs you must use the device for 4-6 weeks daily to really see a difference.But it does bring some relief every time you use it.I personally hold the stretch for 30 seconds several times a session usually around 5 times.Breathe fully and normally while you stretch you do not need to pull hard to get a great stretch.

Extremely disappointed considering I've used the P3 version which is adjustable... this is not. I'm 5 ' 11" and the kneepad section is too short and thus you cannot place the lap pads at your hip joint. TEETER's instructional video states that "If the lap pads sit too far down your legs, then decompression is NOT possible." So I have wasted money on this item. A SIMPLE fix to this is simply to make the knee pad rod longer and ADJUSTABLE like the P3 was, so that it would position better and sit the lap pads properly. I honestly advise you to look elsewhere than considering this product unless youre under 5 feet or short legged or something.

Great device. Good, deep traction and it’s pretty light and portable. I'm 6'1", 205 lbs and it fit fine. Only problem was pushing on the handles hurt my hands. I fixed it by cutting a length of yoga mat and wrapping it around the handles.

If I could give it more stars I would! This right here is the truth for low back pain! I always felt that I need my spine to be decompressed and I tried almost of everything for it. I decided to give this a go after reading some reviews and I’m glad I did Definitely referring this to anyone with the same pain
