What is a therapy couch?
Therapy tables are known from physiotherapy practices that offer medical massages, but also from privately operated massage practices and wellness temples and all other types of practices where "bodyworkers" work. They offer the advantage over the classic wooden table that they are electrically adjustable and have quite a bit of comfort in store not only for the patient but also for the practitioner.
They are electrically adjustable and can be operated not only by a surround system but also by foot switches. They are available with 2, 3, 4, and 5 adjustable segments.
What are the advantages of a therapy table?
Adjustability: Some tables can be adjusted using a gas spring. The operation is done via a running bar. Depending on how many segments the table has, either only the head section or also the foot section can be raised and lowered. The partially available armrests can also be adjusted. In this way, the position can be ideally adapted to the therapy, but possibly also to the condition of the patient.
Height adjustment:
Some treatments are performed while sitting, others while standing. In addition, many practices also have changing practitioners with different body sizes. Just for this case, it is good if the table is height adjustable. Because on a long working day, you don't want to twist your own back to perform the treatment. But of course, it is also possible to lower the table for the patient to take a seat. For the treatment, the table is then raised again.
Stability:
Even and especially heavy people need treatments. It is urgently necessary to be able to rely on your therapy table. A stable treatment table can usually carry up to 225 kilos easily, without having to worry about it.
Wheels:
Built-in wheels offer additional flexibility. They can be easily retracted and extended, allowing the table to be moved to another location without damaging the floor. However, during treatment, the wheels are retracted to avoid any accidental movement.
Good padding:
A treatment table is padded with foam and has a removable and easy-to-clean cover. This ensures that the patient is always comfortable, and the table is still easy to maintain.
Additional features:
Some treatments must be performed with the patient lying on their stomach. It is particularly pleasant if a recess for the face can be provided, so that the patient lies comfortably and relaxed while still being able to breathe well. The corresponding tables also include a cushion, so that the recess can be easily filled when the patient is lying on their back or side.
Comfort:
In addition to durability and functionality, as well as aesthetic and technical advantages, therapy tables are simply very comfortable. This represents an unbeatable advantage for every treatment. Because when you can really relax on a table, every treatment is significantly better. Thus, the treatment table practically supports the work of the practitioner. Together, they form a unit that offers a real bonus for the patient.
Why should you buy a therapy table or a stationary treatment table?
Once you have decided to open a corresponding practice, you should choose a concept and then acquire the appropriate tables. Of course, you can also start alone and buy a single table first. In any case, you can be sure that you are the only person using the table. Moreover, the practice appears much more professional when it is furnished with high-quality equipment.
What models and options are available?
Therapy table with 2 segments: In this model Therapy table Rom the head section can be adjusted. Depending on the need, a recess for the face can be set up. The table is not only height adjustable. With retractable wheels, it can be moved freely and easily in the room.
Therapy table with 3 segments: Here there are two options. Either the table Berlin includes an armrest in addition to the head section, or the treatment table Nagurra N'GO 304 has a separately adjustable head and foot section. The latter is particularly suitable for treating the lumbar spine.

Therapy table with 5 elements: The model "Split" can be adjusted to the maximum. In addition to the adjustable head and foot sections, there are also two separate armrests. The table can be height adjusted and even tilted completely.
Which model is the right one?
Now one might say that as a beginner, you should first choose a slightly adjustable model and only as an expert choose a model with many variations. The fact is: The chosen table should depend on what treatments you want to offer.
What positions are needed for the treatments? Does the patient need to be able to sit? Does the patient need to bend their legs while sitting and then also be able to lay them down comfortably? Then
the model with 2 segments is already out of the question. Do you want to primarily perform treatments on the lumbar spine? Then it is important that the patient can be brought into a corresponding position that must be ideally supported by the table.
How should the practice be fundamentally designed? Should only treatments on tables be offered? Then there is nothing against the table being in a fixed location. Should other treatments also be performed? Then the treatment table should be able to be moved as easily as possible. For this, wheels are excellent, as they are gentle on the back and the floor.
How much space do you have in the room? All tables come in different lengths. If a particularly long table has no space at all, it makes sense to choose a shorter model.
