Massage Tables
Massage Tables Are Good For More Than Just
Massages!
The most common massage table top is the standard flat top
with or without rounded corners. This is perfect for massage,
Reiki, some physical therapy and other common modalities. It's
becoming increasingly popular however, for therapists to offer
multiple services, thereby creating the need for a more
flexible table.
Other popular massage table top options include the tilt
and/or flex top. This type of massage table is most popular
among massage therapists who may also be estheticians,
providing massage, skin care and other spa services. The tilt
top is most common among portable massage tables, while the
Flex top or Salon tops are more commonly found on stationary
tables. Tilt tops provide sufficient leverage to support the
client's back in a seated position while the Flex or Salon tops
offer more comfort with additional support for the legs and
underneath the knees.
Many stationary spa tables will offer electric or hydraulic
lift options as well as power for the table top itself. Many
flex and spa tables will also offer flexible or self-adjusting
side arms. A hydraulic lift massage table with fully electric
spa top will obviously cost a lot more than a portable tilt.
Your decision depends on your budget, need for portability,
desire to expend energy positioning clients and also the
impression you want to give with respect to your spa's image
and decor.
Some massage table manufacturers also offer breast recess
and/or pregnancy or prenatal tables. These massage tables are
flexible in the sense they can be used with or without these
options. Most tables are fitted with cut-outs for the breasts
and/or belly. Plugs are used to make the table flat again for
other clients. The pregnancy tables have supportive netting
underneath to hold the belly and keep stress off the fetus
inside.
These custom tables generally cost a little more, but allow you
to offer your clients additional comfort. Specializing in
pregnancy massage or being able to offer additional comfort to
your female clients is also a great way to differentiate and
add value to your services.
