Portable massage tables are popular for their flexibility in setting up rooms or services offered. They come in different types, some designed for specific types of massages. They are essential for home visits or promotional massages and are more comfortable than massage mats. They are less expensive than permanent massage tools.
Massage, once prescribed only for back problems, has become a mainstay of modern relaxation. Spas, health clubs, and fitness facilities often offer massage services to clients. The work of a massage therapist has also gained worldwide respect. The massage is usually performed on a person lying down on a massage mat or table. A portable massage table is a massage table that can be folded and moved to new locations. Even in permanent massage centres, many of the beds in use are portable, if only to give flexibility in setting up the rooms or in the services offered.
There are many different types of portable massage tables. Some are padded, while others are firm. Some have armrests or headrests, and many are adjustable not only in height but also in angle, allowing a masseuse to focus on specific parts of the back or body in different positions.
Sometimes, portable massage tables are designed with a specific type of massage in mind. Reiki healing massage, for example, requires strong compressions of the masseuse’s palm on the client’s back, so a firm, flat massage table is best. Sports injury massage often requires massaging not only the back but also the arms, legs and neck. A table that allows the client to change positions comfortably or move from side to side is often best for sports massage purposes. Aromatherapy massage aims to introduce the client to deep relaxation and a portable massage table designed for this purpose should be as cushioned and enveloping as possible.
Many massage therapists, even those who work at a spa, sports clinic, or other fixed location, will make home visits. Therapists also sometimes visit popular areas such as shopping malls or race finishes to offer promotional massages. A portable massage table is an almost essential part of the massage supplies needed for these types of services. Most portable tables can be folded, at least partially, to make it easier to transport in a car or van. A portable massage table is usually more comfortable for clients on the go than a massage mat, which while more portable, offers less shape and cushion.
Massage tables are some of the most popular and widely available massage tools, but they are by no means essential massage supplies. A massage table or massage chair, while more cumbersome to move, are also popular massage options. Portable massage tables are typically less expensive than permanent massage tools and can be a good way to get a massage practice off the ground or to introduce massage to an existing menu of services.
