Best Treatment Tables
Whether you run a clinic or drive to clients with a table in the boot, a treatment table needs to earn its keep every day. Our range spans fixed height plinths to electric treatment tables, in single through five-section builds for allied health professionals across Australia.
Fixed vs Adjustable Height Treatment Tables
The right table depends on how you work. A fixed height table costs less and has nothing to break, which suits a set treatment room with one main practitioner. An electric adjustable treatment table changes height at the push of a button, so you can work standing for deep tissue and drop the table low for transfers, older clients or wheelchair users. Most clinics running more than one practitioner choose adjustable, since each therapist can set their own working height in seconds.
Fixed Height Treatment Tables
Fixed height treatment tables (plinths) are the simplest, most affordable option. No motor, no battery, no maintenance. They suit solo practitioners with a consistent treatment style, home-visit kits where weight matters more than adjustability, and clinics on a tight setup budget. A fixed plinth is a different tool to a padded massage table built for relaxation rather than clinical work.
Electric Adjustable Treatment Tables
Electric adjustable treatment tables raise and lower with a foot switch or hand control, typically across a wide height range. This protects your back over a full day of treatments and makes the table usable for a broader range of client heights and mobility levels, including bariatric and wheelchair transfers.
Single Through Five-Section Treatment Tables
Section count decides what the table can do. Every extra section adds a hinge point, so the table folds to more positions, from a flat surface to a seated or reclined treatment position.
Single and Two-Section Plinths
A single-section plinth is one flat surface, light enough to carry to a home visit and fold into a car boot. A two-section plinth adds a hinged headrest or leg section for basic positioning, still portable enough for a mobile allied health practice.
Three, Four and Five-Section Treatment Tables
Three-section tables add a backrest for seated treatment positions. Four and five-section tables add a separate leg or foot section, giving the range of positions a busy multi-discipline clinic needs for physiotherapy, myotherapy and rehabilitation work. If your work is assessment rather than hands-on treatment, our examination tables range may be the better fit. These heavier builds suit a fixed treatment room more than a home-visit kit.
What is a treatment table?
A treatment table is a padded, height-set or height-adjustable table used by physiotherapists, osteopaths, myotherapists and other allied health practitioners for hands-on assessment and treatment.
What is the difference between a fixed and an electric adjustable treatment table?
A fixed table stays at one height and costs less. An electric adjustable table changes height with a motor, so it suits multiple practitioners or client transfers.
How many sections does a treatment table need?
One or two sections suit basic, portable use. Three to five sections add backrest and leg positions for a fixed clinic room treating a wider range of conditions.
What weight capacity should a treatment table have?
Check the manufacturer's rated capacity before buying. Bariatric and rehabilitation clinics should look for a higher-rated electric adjustable table rather than a standard fixed plinth.
