Good therapy tables enable optimum treatment of clients
Whether you are a doctor, massage therapist or physiotherapist, therapy tables are work equipment, which is why they must first and foremost be designed to meet the needs of the person providing treatment and then those of the client. When you buy a therapy table, it must be equipped in such a way that it is possible to work in a way that is easy on the strength and joints. Good stability is also important so that clients can lie comfortably and safely.
We offer therapy tables in various widths, upholstery and comfort features. They have been specially developed for rehabilitation and physiotherapy and offer optimum functionality and safety. They are sturdy treatment tables with an appealing design. As medical products, they must fulfil high requirements. Ideally, they have lowerable cushions in the head, thoracic vertebrae and abdominal area for pregnant clients. You should answer the following questions to find the ideal therapy table for your purposes:
How many parts does my new table need?
If you combine different approaches as a physiotherapist, masseur or chiropractor, your therapy table should also have different parts to meet individual needs. Massage therapists need tables with an even surface that offers patients comfort above all else. Physiotherapists and sports masseurs, on the other hand, need their patients to adopt certain positions during treatment. However, this can only be realised with multi-part tables. Chiropractors and osteopaths need elaborately constructed therapy tables consisting of several parts. This is the only way the client's body can fully relax and the therapist has easy access.
What load-bearing capacity does my therapy table need?
A therapy table must be 100% stable, as therapists usually exert considerable pressure during their treatments. Naturally, the therapy table must not move or bend. Trouble-free work and the safety of everyone involved must be guaranteed. Think about which clients you prioritise. Are they children or adults? Also bear in mind that the population in industrialised countries is getting heavier on average. The greater the load-bearing capacity of the therapy table, the wider the range of possible patients.
Does the table need to be height-adjustable?
As a piece of equipment, the therapy table should enable optimum treatment and at the same time protect the health of both patient and therapist. Ergonomic concepts are therefore particularly important, as physiotherapists' backs are subject to considerable strain during work. An electrically height-adjustable treatment table is the easiest way to prevent damage to health. It also makes access to the patient easier.
What width and upholstery does a good therapy table need?
A standard massage or therapy table is between 60 and 80 cm wide. Think about what width you need so that you can reach your clients comfortably and also turn them round. The shape of the upholstery is also important. Depending on the design, the upholstery can widen the lying surface and give you more room to manoeuvre. Above all, however, the upholstery serves to make the patient more comfortable. After all, the success of the therapy also depends on how well they can relax. A 6 cm thick padding is sufficient for good patient comfort. Thicker padding can be comfortable, but may be too soft for certain therapies.
Easy to clean
Therapy tables need a clear design and should be easy to clean. They need smooth surfaces and are ideally covered with high-quality leather. The material is natural, has a warm appearance and is very easy to work with. Make sure that the seams are not just on the surface. Welded or glued seams are ideal in the nose guard area so that no pressure points can occur.
How much should the lounger cost?
Of course, the price also plays an important role, as a therapy table is no small investment. However, as it will be used for a long time, you should not save money at the wrong end. If the table of your choice has everything you need to work efficiently and ergonomically, you can then turn your attention to the design. Anything is possible here and nothing is compulsory. Just make sure that the look of the therapy table matches your interior and is not too extravagant. Your patients and clients may feel uncomfortable if there is too much that is out of the ordinary. Tradition creates trust - this also applies to therapy tables.
