Skip to content With a firm and a soft side, our AdaptaMats from VetRelieve help you tailor your surface to your patient. From gentle massage to strengthening exercises, our mats are perfect for daily use.
Effective physiotherapy begins the moment a patient enters the treatment space. The surface beneath them can immediately influence how safe and confident they feel. If a patient feels unstable or uncomfortable, the tone of the session is affected before treatment has even begun. By providing appropriate stability and comfort, the environment encourages participation rather than apprehension, particularly in patients managing chronic joint pain or mobility limitations.
Rehabilitation is dynamic. As patients move from acute injury management to progressive strengthening or long-term condition management, their support needs change. A single uniform surface cannot meet all of these demands effectively. Our mission with Adaptamat is to provide a clinically useful tool that adapts alongside the patient. By offering two distinct surface characteristics within one professional mattress, therapists can modify stability, balance challenge and pressure distribution throughout the rehabilitation journey.
Adaptamat was developed from a clear clinical understanding of how surface characteristics influence movement and therapeutic success. Stability underfoot directly affects transfer movements and targeted joint mobilisation exercises. A softer surface increases difficulty and muscular demand, while a firmer surface provides clearer feedback and greater support. By intentionally incorporating these variations into one mattress, Adaptamat allows therapists to use surface response as part of their assessment and progression strategy.
Adaptamat features a firm side and a softer adaptive side, each designed to support different stages of care.
The firmer surface provides a stable base for baseline assessment, transfer practice and early mobilisation. It offers predictable feedback that supports joint alignment, proprioceptive clarity and patient reassurance during initial or sensitive phases of rehabilitation.
The softer surface introduces controlled variability. This can be used to progress balance work, increase muscular engagement and gently challenge stability as patients improve. At the same time, it provides enhanced comfort and pressure redistribution for patients with sensitive joints or those requiring longer passive treatments.
By simply adjusting the orientation of the mattress, therapists can modify exercise difficulty, support levels and patient comfort without introducing additional equipment.

The support surface influences stability, proprioceptive feedback, transfer safety and pressure distribution. It can either support confidence and controlled movement or increase apprehension and joint strain. Selecting the correct surface is part of establishing an effective management plan.
A firmer surface is ideal for baseline assessment, early mobilisation, transfer work and exercises where predictable support and clear feedback are required. It provides stability that allows patients to move with greater confidence.
A softer surface can be used to introduce controlled instability for balance progression, or to improve comfort and pressure redistribution during longer or passive treatments. It is particularly useful for sensitive joints or patients managing chronic pain.
Yes. As patient ability changes, surface demands should change too. An adaptable treatment surface allows therapists to either decrease difficulty to encourage safe participation or increase challenge to progress strength and proprioceptive training.
