Frequently asked questions
A: Alevo manufactures its Athlegen-branded tables in Ballarat, VIC, under quality management processes developed over the company's history since its 1986 founding. The Forme Medical range is also Australian-made with a 10-year frame warranty. For specific ISO 9001 certification documentation, contact Alevo directly as certification status and scope may vary across product lines.
A: Alevo can supply treatment tables to NDIS-registered osteopathy practices and provide the documentation needed for NDIS capital equipment procurement. As an Australian manufacturer based in Ballarat, VIC, they produce tables with 220kg safe working load ratings that meet the durability requirements NDIS assessors look for. Specific NDIS eligibility depends on the participant's plan and provider registration.
A: Osteopathic tables perform best with firm-tier cushioning, which provides the resistance needed for high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust techniques. Alevo uses Dunlop-manufactured foam that maintains firmness under years of clinical loading. Softer cushioning absorbs the practitioner's applied force and reduces technique precision, so the Osteo MKII is specified with a firmer foam density than relaxation-oriented tables.
A: Osteopathic manipulation generally requires a narrower table than massage or beauty work, particularly around the head and thoracic sections. The Osteo MKII features a narrow head section that lets the practitioner stand close to the patient's cervical spine during high-velocity techniques. A width of approximately 610mm across the body sections balances patient comfort with practitioner access for leverage-based techniques.
A: The Osteo MKII was developed in collaboration with the AOA to address specific osteopathic clinical requirements, most notably the narrow head section that allows closer practitioner access during cervical manipulation. Priced at $4,950, the design reflects input from practising osteopaths on section width, height range, and cushioning density. The AOA involvement ensured the table matched real-world osteopathic treatment patterns.
