ESSAI
Regarding the overall appearance, the whole is correctly manufactured, except for the screws.
This device, although intended for all types of users, requires good body management and good coordination to control the movement. . In use, first impressions are good. It is easy to use and once properly "calibrated" the movement is flexible and well accompanied (very fast 180 ° inversion and extreme sensitivity). The 06B / 260 professional table is therefore entirely satisfactory on this point.
Small negative point, the lever allowing to adjust the support of the ankles is a little short and when you want to unhook, you have to twist, especially to large templates.
Assembly / assembly
The manual is quite simple and relatively clear, it allows you to assemble everything alone (although an additional pair of hands is welcome). The assembly could therefore be considered as simple and logical, if there were not, however, the following minor inconveniences.
For example, you must beware, during assembly, of the uprights and arms which, sometimes, have been reversed. Then, although basic tools are provided, it is preferable to have your own tools as their quality is poor. The major problem, however, concerns the screws. The 20 screws (M8x55mm) supplied are very poorly made: at the end the first threads are twisted and hardly fit into the nuts. You can replace the set with M8x60mm screws for example, but this is not what you would expect with a camera still sold for 140 €. Otherwise, we recommend to "sacrifice" a nut and try to pass all the screws in, to remake the thread, before mounting them on the frame and not to tighten the screws definitively until the frame has been mounted.
Performance
Most tests indicate that inversion therapy causes some tensile force through the lumbar spine. One study found that the separation is approximately 3 mm between the lumbar vertebrae during inversion therapy. The question is, does traction help low back pain? Most studies on the effectiveness of traction for LBP are of poor quality (unreliable) and the few quality studies that have been done are unable to demonstrate that lumbar traction helps low back pain. The results indicate that traction for acute, subacute and chronic low back pain has no demonstrated benefit. Conclusion, while lumbar traction does not seem to harm people with low back pain, it does not seem to help them much either. To date, no other "serious" study has been published to refute these findings. However, even if according to the scientific studies carried out, the effect of inversion tables seems limited or even nil for low back pain, the fact remains that an often positive effect is observed by many users. And even if they do not make the pain completely go away, they can partly relieve it, which is not negligible when the pain is chronic. If the use of the inversion table therefore seems to offer certain advantages and conclusive results, they remain difficult to measure and above all specific to each user.
What Professionals Recommend for Lower Back Pain Relief
Many specialists have sought to design the best treatment for acute nonspecific low back pain, and it seems that the best treatment is to stay as active as possible. For subacute and chronic low back pain, studies show that exercise has a demonstrated benefit. They recommend continuation of normal activities for acute nonspecific low back pain and therapeutic exercises for chronic, subacute and postoperative low back pain.
The SixBros inversion table is therefore overall a quality table, we can simply regret that the device is not foldable because with these dimensions, (146 x 78 and a height of 159 cm) it remains very bulky. Finally, the price corresponds to what you would expect from a mid-range table.
