Professional Physical Therapy Mat Tables & Treatment Platforms
For dynamic physical therapy sessions that require extensive patient movement, standard treatment tables are simply not wide enough. Located within our Physical Therapy equipment collection, Medidepot’s premium Mat Tables and Exercise Platforms provide the expansive, secure, and low-to-the-ground surfaces essential for neurological rehabilitation, pediatric care, and bariatric treatment.
Whether you are facilitating stretching routines, Bobath therapy, or assisting a patient with rolling and crawling exercises, our heavy-duty platforms ensure that both the patient and the therapist have the space and stability they need to work safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the difference between a treatment table and a mat table? The primary difference is width and height. Standard treatment tables are typically 27 to 30 inches wide, designed for massages or targeted manipulation. Mat tables are much wider (usually 4 to 6 feet wide) and often sit closer to the ground. This provides a safe, expansive area for patients to perform rolling, stretching, and crawling exercises without the risk of falling off an edge.
-
What is a Bobath table used for? A Bobath table is a specific type of extra-wide therapy platform used for Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT), often for patients recovering from strokes or managing cerebral palsy. The table is wide and strong enough for the physical therapist to get on the table with the patient to guide their movements and posture safely.
-
Are space-saving folding mat tables safe? Yes. High-quality wall-mounted folding mat tables (like those from Clinton Industries or Hausmann) use heavy-duty steel mounting brackets and auto-locking floor legs. When properly installed into wall studs, they offer the same massive weight capacities (often 500-1000 lbs) as stationary tables.
-
Do Hi-Lo Mat Tables qualify for the ADA Tax Credit? Yes, electric Hi-Lo mat tables that can lower to 17-19 inches (wheelchair transfer height) generally meet ADA compliance standards. Small healthcare businesses may qualify for the IRS Section 44 Tax Credit, which can cover up to 50% of the equipment's cost. Always consult a tax professional for verification.
-
What size mat table should I buy? The 4' x 7' size is the industry standard and fits well in most clinics. If you specialize in pediatric therapy or neurological rehab where the therapist must frequently be on the table, a 5' x 7' or 6' x 8' platform is highly recommended.
