A simple and straightforward device, the treatment table can easily be overlooked by physical therapists and other healthcare professionals. It is, however, a crucial element of any medical office, both for the convenience it affords the caregiver and safety it provides to patients. The basic characteristics of a good treatment table should include the following: stability, easy to maintain, good padding, and a large surface. Manufactured by Bailey, the Professional Hi-Lo Treatment Table with Shelves possesses not only these characteristics but boasts some additional ones as well. Built into the frame of the table are four open-face shelves that provide caregivers with easy access to everyday items like towels and pads. In addition, an electric motor enables caregivers to select the proper height of the table by using a convenient foot control. Moreover, Model 4090 features a gas spring-adjustable backrest for patients who can or should be treated in a reclined sitting position.
