Parallel Bars for Physiotherapy

Parallel bars for physiotherapy give your patient two fixed rails to hold while they practise standing, weight shifting and walking. Unlike a walking frame, the rails stay put.

We stock ABCO and Healthtec walking rails from 3m to 8m, in folding, fixed and electric models, for rehab clinics, hospitals and home setups. ABCO gives a 5 year parts only warranty, and Healthtec gives 10 years structural and 5 years on the motor.

Also called walking rails, walking bars or therapy bars. ABCO makes its rails to order in 2 to 3 days, and Healthtec rails arrive in 4 to 6 weeks.

Call 1300 990 239 and we will help you choose the length and height for your room. We match identical products from Australian retailers.

Home and NDIS setups often suit the ABCO 3m Folding Walking Rails, which fold away and need no floor fixing. Busy clinics often choose the Healthtec 4m Electric Walking Rails, and hospital rehab units choose ABCO Premium Electric Walking Rails up to 6m with 3 memory positions.



Choose the Right Length of Walking Bars for Your Rehab Space

3m rails fit a home room or small clinic for short walking practice and balance work. 4m rails are common in physio clinics, and 5m to 8m rails give longer walking practice in larger rehab spaces.

ABCO and Healthtec make non-standard lengths and widths on request. Call 1300 990 239 with your room measurements and we will quote it.
