You’ll see a few names used for this category. The most common are:

• Treatment table or therapy table – a general term for rehab use.
• Medical exam table – clinic-style, often with a paper roll holder and storage.
• Massage table – portable or stationary models used for bodywork and some PT tasks.
• Stationary therapy table – heavier, fixed frames with higher capacities.
• Electric lift table – motorized height adjustment for ergonomic positioning.

On product pages, look for features like adjustable backrests, storage shelves or drawers, paper roll dispensers, and weight capacity. Those details help you match the table style to your space and how you plan to use it.

They overlap, but there are useful differences to consider:

• PT/medical exam tables: typically firmer padding, adjustable backrests (often around 0–40°), and clinic-friendly add‑ons like storage shelves/drawers or a paper roll holder. Many are stationary with higher load ratings.
• Massage tables: often portable bi‑fold designs with face cradles, side armrests, and lighter frames for travel. Padding can be plusher, and widths vary for comfort.

Some portable massage tables work well for at‑home rehab or mobile care, while exam-style tables suit dedicated treatment rooms. Compare features, weight capacity, and portability to decide what fits your techniques and space.

Home use is about setup, stability, and care.

• Measure your space: allow walking room on at least two sides and check doorway clearance.
• Match capacity: confirm the listed working weight covers the user and any accessories.
• Stabilize: place on a level, non‑slip surface; lock any casters before use.
• Set the height: adjust to reduce strain for whoever’s assisting.
• Protect upholstery: use paper rolls or disposable covers as recommended.
• Follow the manual: for folding, lifting, and backrest angles.

For guidance on specific exercises or conditions, consider consulting a licensed professional. The table supports positioning; it isn’t a substitute for care.

Pick dimensions and strength that fit your bodywork and room.

• Length & width: common lengths are about 72–84 in.; widths 24–32 in. Wider feels roomier; narrower fits tight spaces.
• Height: fixed or adjustable, often around 23–34 in. Choose a comfortable working height.
• Capacity: many portable tables list ~350–500 lb working weight; stationary and exam tables may support 600–900+ lb.
• Features: consider backrest range (e.g., 0–40°), face cradle, shelves/drawers, and paper roll holders.

Check each listing’s specs and reviews to align with your users, techniques, and layout.

Routine care can help keep upholstery and hardware in good shape.

• Wipe after use: use a soft cloth with mild soap and water; avoid harsh solvents or abrasives that can damage PU leather.
• Protect surfaces: blot oils/lotions promptly and use disposable sheets or paper rolls as recommended.
• Dry thoroughly: let surfaces air dry before folding or covering.
• Check hardware: inspect bolts, hinges, and cables periodically and tighten per the manual.
• Store smart: keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat.

Always follow the care instructions in the product manual, as materials and finishes can vary by model.
