Pikiss Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 My husband has had lower back pains for some years. So far they have been manageable by loosing weight and regular exercise but unfortunately during the last few months the pain has gotten worse and more frequent. He has been going to a physiotherapist now that we are back in Europe for a few weeks. In addition to massage and manipulation the physiotherapist has stretched his back with an inversion table where you hang in upside down position, feet strapped in ankles, spine is supported by a back rest, see picture (if not shown, see link http://inversiondoctor.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/61sSd-SfatL._SL1500_.jpg ) This seems to be working for him and the physiotherapist suggested continuing with it. Any chance in finding a machine like this to buy for home use in Pattaya? (or ordering from somewhere else in Thailand). Any info is appreciated.

littleboylost Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I recently bought one in the US and brought it back to Phuket with me. Most airlines will accept as checked in luggage but make sure you keep the weight to under 32kgs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessi Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I would also be interested in buying one if can be purchased in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessi Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 One of the mods might like to move this to the medical forum for a better response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyTheMook Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Super sports in Central Mall had them for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSixpack Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Super sports in Central Mall had them for sale. Think that's where I saw one also. However, it seemed vastly overpriced compared to those available in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Super sports in Central Mall had them for sale. I've seen it too - in the Kama Sutra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmybkk Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Try these: http://asseenontv.in...nversion-table/ http://spinefitness.ibuy.co.th/shop Prices look reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikiss Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Try these: http://asseenontv.in...nversion-table/ http://spinefitness.ibuy.co.th/shop Prices look reasonable. Thank you all for your help. As some posters suggested I will check Super sports in Central Mall when we get back to Pattaya. If not available these webshops are certainly worth to try.

Pikiss Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Update: Super Sports in Central Festival did no have an inversion table (and the shop clerk did not seem to have a clue what we were looking for). We went to the Seara sports & fitness store in Sukhumvit (towards Sattahip, in the corner of Chayapruk), showed the shop manager the web site that TV member “jimmybkk” recommended earlier ( http://spinefitness.ibuy.co.th/shop ) Seara store did the ordering for us, we chose Model SPL-003, price 9600 baht plus expenses to Seara (for ordering, postal fees, delivery to our condo and installation). It took 10 days from order to installation, works fine and quality seems good. Thank you for your suggestions! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattjock Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Just a question, can the model you bought easily be folded and stored under a bed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikiss Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 This particular model cannot be folded, it’s assembled with big bolts which makes it feel very sturdy. We placed the table in our condo building’s fitness room so no need for folding. Back home in Europe on the other hand my husband has a foldable one since we have to keep it in our apartment.

pattjock Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Thanks for the info. I do need a foldable table as it is quite big. I will check with the seller if the SP-002 model is foldable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
