About IntoInversion
IntoInversion compares inversion tables using what their manufacturers actually publish, and explains the health questions around them using studies you can look up yourself. That is the whole idea, and this page explains how it works. For the step-by-step method, with real examples of sources we used and contradictions we found, see how we research every page.
Who We Are
IntoInversion is written and edited by a small independent team, and every page carries the byline “the IntoInversion team”. We are not a manufacturer or a retailer, no inversion table maker owns us, and none pays for a place on our pages. You can see exactly how a page gets made in how we research.
What We Do
Most inversion table pages repeat whatever a retail listing says. Listings are often wrong: a weight limit that differs from the manufacturer’s manual, a feature the product does not have, a claim that belongs to a different brand. We go to the source.
- Specs are checked against the manufacturer. Weight capacity, height range, angle settings, warranty and the rest come from the maker’s own product pages and manuals.
- “Not stated” means not stated. If a manufacturer does not publish a figure, we say so. We do not estimate it, round it, or borrow it from a listing.
- Contradictions get resolved, not repeated. When a retail listing and a manufacturer’s page disagree, we follow the manufacturer and say where the difference was.
How We Handle Health Claims
Inversion tables are sold with a lot of health promises. We do not repeat them. Every health claim on this site is tied to a named study, and we tell you its limits: how many people were in it, who they were, and whether it looked at inversion itself or at traction in general. When a warning comes from a manufacturer’s manual rather than a measurement, we say that too.
We are not doctors, and nothing here is medical advice. If you have a health condition, talk to your physician before you invert. Our pages on who should not use an inversion table and on the side effects that have been measured are a good place to start that conversation.
What We Have Not Done
We have not tested these tables on people, and we do not claim to have. There is no lab, no panel of testers, and no one on this site pretending to be a clinician. What we offer is careful reading: the manufacturer’s specifications, checked, and the published research, with its limits left in.
How We Choose a Pick
Our rule is simple: the pick is the cheapest table that meets the need of the reader the page is written for. A reader who needs a higher weight limit gets the cheapest table that publishes that limit. A reader who needs a specific feature gets the cheapest table that has it. If a cheaper table does the job, we do not send you to a more expensive one.
You can see this applied in our guide to the best inversion tables.
How We Make Money
When you buy through a link on this site, the retailer may pay us a commission. It does not change your price and it does not change which table we pick. The details are on our affiliate disclosure page.
How We Keep Pages Current
Every page shows the date it was last updated, right under the title. When a manufacturer changes a specification, a product goes out of stock, or a new study changes the picture, we update the page and that date moves with it.
