Massage Tables For The Amateur To The Professional

Massage tables are what are used for body massages, whether the
massaging is happening in an office, spa, or home, and whether
it is being performed by a professional, a student masseuse, or
by you in your home for personal family use. Massage tables are
specifically designed for massaging, and are generally more
conducive to great massages than a bed, floor, or couch.

Massage tables are designed with both the recipient and the
masseuse in mind. Tables designed for the professional, for
example, may have specialized features, like an attached padded
seat for the masseuse who performs seated massages. There are
permanently set tables and portable ones that fold up for easy
transportation. There are ones with special feet covers for
outdoor use, with aluminum coatings on the frame, with
adjustable legs, headrests, towel holders—really, anything that
a professional massage therapist could need to perform
efficiently and effectively. There are massage tables
specifically designed for salon usage like facials, waxing, and
other cosmetics.

There are also massage tables for those students of massage
therapy. Characterized by ease of portability, these tables
are designed with the learning of massage therapy in mind. A
massage table for student massage therapists is usually
lightweight, with standard features and carrying cases so the
student can easily go from the classroom to the home. Often,
these beginner tables offer limited features, so the budding
masseuse can determine as he or she learns what features will
be necessary for the performance of great massages.

What, though, about those people who like to give massages to
their spouse, or who want to have a massage table available for
a masseuse to come in to their home without having to bring in
their own table? Home use tables are similar in design to
student tables, as the in home usage does not require, for the
most part, a professional grade table. Usually characterized
by a slightly lighter weight and less table space, these at
home versions are widely available for a variety of price
ranges and uses. Generally speaking, though, these are still
sturdy massage tables.

Massage tables built to last through heavy usage and extended
periods of time often come with a lifetime warranty. These
professional massage tables are constructed of durable
materials and are crafted with the comfort of both the massage
therapist and the receiver of the massage. Priced anywhere
from several hundred dollars to the thousands, there are a
plethora of features and specialty items available to customize
the massage experience for clients. Student tables are often
smaller versions of these professional tables, and they allow
the student to determine which features will be needed when it
comes time to invest in a professional massage table.
Finally, home use tables are convenient alternatives to the
couch or bed for those times when a spouse needs a rubdown.
Moderately priced from under two hundred dollars and up, home
tables are still constructed for the ease of massaging.
Depending on the intended usage, there is a massage table
available for all needs.
