- a lying surface which can be moved at an angle of inclination which is variable with respect to the horizontal and is equipped at the foot end with a holding device for fixing the feet of the person to be treated.
- Such couches can be used in the therapy of intervertebral disc defects, in particular for the treatment of intervertebral discs and / or nerve strands jammed in intervertebral spaces.
- couches with a swiveling lying surface can be used both for regeneration of the spine and for strengthening certain muscle areas. The intended use of the couches described above also promotes blood flow to the entire body and also contributes significantly to the harmonization of metabolic functions.
- the lying surface on which the person to be treated is in a substantially stretched posture is inclined to the horizontal in such a way that when the patient is down, i.e. downward, head position the desired relief of the spine and intervertebral discs takes place.
- German published patent application DE 41 13 038 A1 a gymnastics and therapy device is described which is vertically displaceably arranged on one side on the wall of a treatment room.
- the lying surface can be held at a certain angle to the horizontal by a special locking element.

This is achieved in an advantageous manner in that the holding means on the first narrow side is designed as an articulated curved piece which has an essentially hyperbolic shape.
- a crossbar which extends essentially parallel to the first narrow side and which advantageously consists of wood.
- a side covering is provided for the configuration of the couch for the therapeutic-therapeutic treatment of spinal complaints of persons, which extends in the horizontal position of the couch from the upper edge of the frame of the couch to the installation level.
- the cladding covers at least the first support means and, together with the second support means, forms a structural / physical unit.
- the cladding is advantageously molded directly onto the support means, for example, and is fastened to the long sides of the frame of the bed by screw means.
- the side covering covers the long sides and at least one of the narrow sides of the bed.
- the covering is attached to the frame of the bed and is made of a metallic material or is made using a textile material.
- a headrest is provided on the second narrow side of the frame in accordance with an additional, favorable variant of the invention.
- the headrest has padding for which an ergometric shape is provided. This relieves the neck, vertebrae area in particular during the stretching treatment.
