Key Selling Points
Electric Height Adjustment
Raise or lower the treatment couch using the foot-operated control, helping practitioners find a comfortable working height without manually lifting the patient or adjusting a mechanical lever.
260kg Safe Working Load
The robust electric lifting system supports a safe working load of up to 260kg, making the couch suitable for a broad range of adult patients within its specified operating limits.
Extra-Low Patient Entry
The low starting height supports easier access for patients with reduced mobility and can assist with appropriately assessed wheelchair-to-couch transfers.
Comfortable Two-Section Positioning
An adjustable backrest and generously proportioned upholstered surface allow patients to be positioned comfortably for examinations, physiotherapy and other suitable clinical procedures.
Clinical Upholstery
Durable antibacterial, fire-retardant vinyl upholstery provides a comfortable treatment surface and supports routine cleaning between patient appointments.
Designed for Busy Clinics
A built-in paper roll holder, retractable castors, adjustable feet and smooth-operating mechanisms help make daily patient preparation and treatment room management easier.
What Is a 2 Section Physiotherapy Couch and How Does It Work?
A two-section physiotherapy couch is a professional examination and treatment table with an adjustable backrest and a main patient support section. It allows patients to be positioned lying flat, reclined or more upright according to the treatment being performed.
Unlike a fixed-height examination couch, this electric model allows the height of the treatment surface to be changed using a powered lifting mechanism. This gives clinicians greater control over patient positioning and helps reduce the need to bend or work in an awkward posture.
Electric Height Control
The electric lifting mechanism uses high-reliability LINAK actuators to raise and lower the treatment platform. A single foot switch is fitted as standard, allowing the practitioner to operate the height adjustment while keeping their hands available for patient assistance where appropriate.
Adjustable Gas-Assisted Backrest
The reclining backrest uses an anti-entrapment SUSPA gas strut mechanism to support controlled manual adjustment. This makes it possible to move between flat and inclined patient positions without requiring an electrically operated back section.
Stable Clinical Construction
Heavy-duty adjustable feet help accommodate minor floor unevenness, while retractable TENTE castors allow the couch to be repositioned when required. Precision self-lubricating bearings on the pivot points support smooth movement throughout normal operation.
The design also incorporates an upholstery gusset covering hinge areas, helping provide a continuous upholstered finish around the moving sections.
Common Clinical and Treatment Room Challenges It Helps Address
Working at an Uncomfortable Height
Fixed-height couches can require practitioners to bend, reach or adopt awkward positions during treatment. Electric height adjustment allows the treatment surface to be positioned more appropriately for different procedures and clinician working preferences.
Difficulty Accessing Treatment Couches
Patients with reduced mobility may find higher examination couches difficult to access. The extra-low entry position can make sitting down and transferring onto the treatment surface more manageable following a suitable mobility assessment.
Limited Patient Positioning Options
An adjustable backrest provides additional positioning flexibility compared with a flat fixed couch. Patients can be supported in lying or reclined positions for appropriate assessments and treatment procedures.
Keeping Treatment Rooms Organised
Regular patient appointments require straightforward preparation and cleaning. The integrated paper roll holder, wipe-clean upholstery and movable base make it easier to maintain an organised working environment.
Clinical purpose: This couch supports positioning, examinations and delivery of treatment. It does not itself treat back pain, joint pain, mobility problems or other musculoskeletal conditions; any therapeutic benefit comes from the appropriate clinical intervention.

Who or What Is This Couch Not Suitable For?
The 2 Section Electric Physio Couch is intended for professional patient examination and treatment. It may not be suitable where specialist positioning, patient handling or procedural equipment is required.
- Patients exceeding the safe working load: Do not use the couch where the applied load would exceed its stated 260kg limit.
- Patients requiring specialist bariatric dimensions: The standard 63cm-wide treatment surface may not provide adequate comfort or support for every patient. A wider bariatric couch may be more appropriate.
- Complex positioning procedures: Treatments requiring independently adjustable leg, seat or multiple support sections may need a three-section or specialist couch.
- Unsupported mobility transfers: Low entry height and under-base hoist clearance do not remove the need for an appropriate patient handling assessment and correctly selected transfer equipment.
- Transporting occupied patients: Retractable castors are intended for positioning the couch within a clinical environment, not for using it as a patient transport trolley.
- Unsupported standing or dynamic loading: The treatment surface should not be used as a step, standing platform or exercise apparatus unless the intended use is expressly approved in the operating instructions.
Practitioners should assess patient size, mobility, support requirements and the intended procedure before choosing a treatment couch.

How to Use and Maintain the Electric Physio Couch
- Prepare the treatment area. Position the couch on a suitable stable floor, ensure the frame is correctly supported and check that the castors and adjustable feet are set for normal treatment use.
- Check the power connection. Connect the couch according to its electrical operating instructions, ensuring the supply cable and foot control are positioned safely away from moving parts and pedestrian routes.
- Lower the couch for patient access. Use the foot switch to bring the treatment surface to an appropriate entry height before the patient sits or transfers onto it.
- Position the patient. Assist the patient where required and ensure their body is adequately supported. Use the gas-assisted backrest to achieve the desired position for the clinical procedure.
- Adjust the working height. Raise or lower the couch using the foot switch until the treatment surface is at a comfortable and appropriate height for the practitioner.
- Carry out the treatment. Perform the intended examination or therapy while maintaining appropriate patient support, monitoring comfort and keeping hands, clothing and equipment clear of moving mechanisms.
- Return to a suitable exit position. Lower the couch and adjust the backrest as appropriate before the patient gets off or transfers to other equipment.
- Clean between patients. Replace disposable couch paper and clean the upholstery with a suitable, compatible clinical cleaning product following local infection control procedures.
- Inspect and maintain. Regularly check the upholstery, electrical controls, moving parts, castors and frame. Arrange routine servicing in accordance with the operating instructions and the clinic's maintenance schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 2 section physiotherapy couch used for?
A two-section physiotherapy couch is used to support patients during physical examinations, manual therapy, rehabilitation consultations and other suitable clinical treatments. Its adjustable backrest and electric height control allow practitioners to position the patient and treatment surface according to the procedure being performed.
Is this treatment couch electrically adjustable?
Yes. This model uses an electric lifting system with LINAK actuators to adjust the treatment height and includes a foot switch as standard. The backrest is adjusted separately using a gas strut-assisted mechanism rather than an electric backrest motor.
How high and low does the physiotherapy couch go?
The couch has a height adjustment range of approximately 46cm to 91cm. The lower position supports easier patient access, while the higher positions allow clinicians to select a working height suited to different examinations and treatments.
What is the maximum patient weight for this couch?
The electric couch has a specified safe working load of 260kg. This limit must not be exceeded, and practitioners should also consider the patient's size, positioning requirements and the overall suitability of the treatment surface.
Is the couch suitable for wheelchair transfers and mobile hoists?
The extra-low entry height is designed to assist patient access, and the base provides clearance for appropriate mobile hoist use. However, wheelchair and hoist transfers must be individually assessed, with suitable equipment, sufficient clearance and appropriate assistance.
Can patients lie face down on the physiotherapy couch?
Yes. The two-section design supports appropriate face-down positioning for treatments where this is clinically suitable, and the specified keyhole-shaped breathing hole and bung provide additional positioning flexibility.

Is the upholstery antibacterial and easy to clean?
Yes. The durable vinyl upholstery is specified as antibacterial, MRSA-inhibiting and fire retardant, with Bio-Pruf treatment to help resist mould, mildew and odour-causing microbes. The surface should still be cleaned and disinfected using compatible products and the clinic's normal infection control procedures.
What upholstery colours and warranty are available?
The couch is offered in a choice of 14 standard upholstery colours, with selected additional upholstery configurations available subject to confirmation. Warranty cover includes 7 years for the frame and 3 years for covered moving parts and other components, subject to the applicable warranty terms.
