Key Criteria for Configuring Your Ideal Physiotherapy Table
A physiotherapy table is a highly configurable instrument. Understanding the key options allows you to build the tool that perfectly suits your practice and working environment.
The Number of Plans: The Key to Versatility
The more independently adjustable planes (or sections) a table has, the more positioning options it offers for your patients.
2-section tables: The standard for examinations and general massages, with a lifting backrest.
3-section tables: Offer greater precision, particularly for lower limb work thanks to an independent leg section.
5- to 7-section tables: The ultimate in versatility. They allow for very specific positioning (kyphosis, Trendelenburg), incorporate sloping armrests and separate leg sections, ideal for advanced rehabilitation techniques and manual therapy.
Chassis Type: A Question of Ergonomics and Space
The table lifting mechanism has a direct impact on your posture and the organization of your office.
Scissor (X) frame: This is the most recommended solution. The elevation is vertical, without any lateral offset . This is a crucial advantage for small spaces, as you do not need to provide clearance around the table. It allows you to work as close as possible to your patient in complete safety.
Parallel rod frame: This system causes the table to shift slightly horizontally when raising or lowering. It is just as stable but requires a little more clearance around the table.
The Control System: Fluidity at Your Fingertips (or Feet)
How you adjust the table height during a treatment is essential to your workflow.
Pedal on the floor: The classic and reliable solution.
Peripheral control panel: This is the most ergonomic option. This bar, accessible from all four sides of the table, allows you to adjust the height with your foot, regardless of your position, without ever interrupting your treatment or losing contact with your patient.
Saddlery: The Balance Between Comfort and Efficiency
The foam on a physiotherapy table must offer the perfect balance: sufficient comfort for the patient, but firmness that doesn't impair the effectiveness of your treatments. A foam with a density of 40 kg/m³ is an excellent standard. The covering, meanwhile, must be medical-grade, easy to clean, resistant to oils and disinfectants, and meet fire-resistant standards for impeccable hygiene and safety.
Specific Equipment for Advanced Practices
Certain physiotherapy specialties require adapted equipment, designed for specific pathologies or therapeutic approaches.
The Bobath Table: The Space Needed for Neurological Rehabilitation
The Bobath method, used in neurological rehabilitation (post-stroke, cerebral palsy), requires the therapist to be able to get on the table with the patient to guide their movements. The Bobath table is therefore characterized by:
A very large width (from 100 to 200 cm).
Extreme stability and load capacity (up to 325 kg).
A very low variable height to facilitate transfers.
Kyphosis Function: An Asset for Back Treatment
The electric kyphosis option allows the patient's trunk to be flexed while in the prone position. This position is particularly useful for treating back pathologies, as it opens the intervertebral space and significantly improves the patient's breathing comfort during manipulation.
The Word of Our Expert
Sophie Martin, DE Physiotherapist & GoldBeauté Product Manager "Many young physiotherapists focus on the number of planes, which is important. But if there is one option that radically transforms daily practice, it is the peripheral control frame. No longer having to search for the pedal, being able to adjust the height with a simple push of the foot while keeping your hands on the patient, it is a huge gain in fluidity and concentration. It is a detail that may seem minor at the time of purchase, but which, after hundreds of treatments, makes a huge difference to our own comfort and the quality of our care."
