FAQ: Can I Invert After Surgery?

This is may seem like a cop-out answer, but when asked, our answer is always the same: “Only if your doctor has cleared you to do so.“

Circumstances are different for everyone, so the only people that can answer this are you and your doctor.

We mostly get this question from folks who have had hip and/or knee replacements. Even though we have heard numerous success stories from people who have benefited greatly from using a Teeter inversion table after joint replacement surgery, we must advise that you consult your doctor first.

Post-surgery inversion, once fully healed, has the potential to help keep muscles flexible and enhance circulation. Some say inversion has helped them recover sooner than expected. But inverting too soon and without being cleared to do so by a physician can potentially cause damage to the results of the surgery.
