MODEL?
Basic rule:
Choose model based on how you most often work.
Ask yourself which model will help you best in the long run?

LITE

We recommend LITE...
* if you travel a lot as therapist. LITE weighs only 8.5 - 9.5 kg depending on width, it is our shortest couch - 160 cm - and is available in 45 or 50 cm.

* if you are a naprapath, chiropractor or for any other reason need extra low couch (50-60 cm).

* if raising the couch to a maximum of 60 cm is ok for you.

* if 50 cm max width is ok for you.

We do NOT recommend LITE...

* if 60 cm's height is not high enough.

* if you plan to combine a portable couch with our height adjustable Chassis (only possible with MA, TE and ZON).

* if 160 cm + a possible extension of + 20 cm is too short a couch for you (MA/TE/ZON is 190 cm).

We recommend TE...
* if you work neck and shoulders a lot. The headrest is height and angle adjustable, which makes accessibility better with TE than for example MA.
As a patient, model TE with its headrest is also much more comfortable than model MA.

* if you plan to combine a portable couch with our height adjustable Chassis. Both MA, TE and ZON may be complemented with the Chassis.

We do NOT recommend TE...
* if you need to have your patients sitting sometimes - then ZON is your choice.

We recommend MA...
* if you primarily work with a therapy with no need for adjustable headrest.

* if you prefer cheapest possible Tarsus model

* if you need extra LONG couch. Model MA may be complemented with our headrest, making the couch 220 cm all in all.

* if you plan to combine a portable couch with our height adjustable Chassis. Both MA, TE and ZON may be complemented with the Chassis.

We do NOT recommend MA...
* if you need to have your patients sitting sometimes - then ZON is your choice.

* if you work a lot with neck and shoulders. TE, with the adjustable headrest is then a better choice.

ZON

We recommend ZON...
* for any kind of therapy where the patient is sitting some time during treatment. The backrest is adjustable i seven steps between 0-48º.

* if you prefer the absolutely most flexible Tarsus model. ZON could be used with the patient both sitting or lying. ZON could also be complemented with our headrest.

* if you plan to combine a portable couch with our height adjustable Chassis. Both MA, TE and ZON may be complemented with the Chassis.

We do NOT recommend ZON...
* if you work a lot with neck and shoulders. TE, with the adjustable headrest is then a better choice.

* if you never have the patient seated.

* if you need a couch less than 60 cm wide , ZON is only available in 60 or 70 cm.

WIDTH?
Basic rule:
Choose best possible model FOR YOU, not best for your patient

For massage therapy
The narrower couch, the closer you get to the patient - which equals a better and more correct body posture while doing the therapy.

45, 50 or 55 cm
...are often the correct choices for classic massage therapy - which one of them is more up to your way of working.

60 cm and wider
...is recommended for sitting treatment and/or any treatment when it is important for the patient to rest relaxed and comfortably (healing, zone therapy, tactile stimulation et cetera).

70 cm
...is rarer but could be recommended as a resting couch in a workplace. As reference, at least in Scandinavia, the standard width for a standard examination couch in hospitals is 70 cm.

With a 70 cm couch we recommend the accessory transport trolley, if you transport the couch a lot.

Obviously, each therapist work personally. Our recommendations can only guide, not be a complete manual for all body and therapy types.

HEIGHT?
Basic rule:
Choose best possible height FOR YOU, not your colleagues.

Models MA, TE and ZON is adjustable from 60-80 cm in height, with 5 cm steps. For massage therapy - unless you're extremely long or short - this is normally correct height.

Model LITE is the lowest, being 50-60 cm only.

Options
Models MA, TE and ZON is also available 50-70 or 70-90 cm.

Exceptions
Naprapaths, chiropractors and similar is usually interested in low couches, for which we recommend model LITE or an extra low TE, which makes them both from 50 as lowest.
