What do I think
There are many inversion tables on the market for many different price ranges. The Body Champ IT8070 Inversion Therapy Table seems to have some features, such as the inversion angles that are unique for this model. Some people are new to inversion therapy, so this will help them ease into inversion without the discomfort of full inversion. The steel construction makes it durable and strong, so you can use it without worrying about it breaking soon after assembly. The foam ankle and back board help for you to be more comfortable while you’re using the table, so that helps.The worrisome part that I’ve found is that few users have reported safety concerns with the strap and the ankle guards. Some people have also reported damage to their table upon delivery.Overall, I think that with as many user reviews are out there, and with very few of them being negative, this would be a very good investment for anyone who is in the market to find a way to stop back pain and make life just a little bit easier for you. I would definitely give this one a try.
